In our Humanities and Arts Department, Rutger Tamminga (Rudramohan) of Taiwan will be offering a 10 week course on Storytelling – Values of Peace with a special emphasis on creating Storytelling Schools.
Dr. Marco Oliveria (Mahaviir) of Brazil will lead a course on Neohumanism in Art, Culture and Literature inviting students to experience a variety of artistic, literary, and cultural traditions from around the world. Jesús Via of Peru will facilitate an engaging and thought provoking socratic style Critical Thinking course for Neohumanist. Andy Douglas (Alok) will offer an inspiring eight week Writing Our Spiritual Lives course that invites students to step outside the ordinary into deep mystery, or simply find the sacred in the everyday.
