This course develops students’ capacity to reflect on their gifts and growing edges in intra/interpersonal relationships, and to envision work as a spiritual practice. By exploring the stages of spiritual growth and family systems theory, students develop the skills needed to thrive in various helping professions, such teaching, chaplaincy, heath care and other fields. Each student designs specific learning goals that s/he works towards throughout the semester. Assignments focus on developing basic skills needed to serve others, including essential counseling skills, ethical behavior, leadership and group facilitation, and naming and addressing power dynamics.
