Description

These one-credit courses/workshops view music, art, dance, and wellness as ways of expressing the prayer of the whole person. The first three are designed to demonstrate how the arts can facilitate and create atmospheres conducive to prayer, how they can be used in the context of the prayer itself and ways in which they can be an extension of experiences of prayer. In the fourth, students will explore in a reflective and experiential way some spiritual aspects that underlie, enhance, and complement our concepts of nutrition and exercise. A larger and more holistic perspective on nutrition and exercise will guide the formation of attitudes and behaviors that will develop a view of the whole person, created by God who transforms, inspires, and acts in our lives. Presentations and input from a variety of sources and people who minister in wellness fields will be included.
