Course Description

Through the study of spiritual practice and ecology, students will grow in their understanding of how Christians can relate more intimately and harmoniously with the creation and with the Creator. On-the-ground study and experience of our local Chesapeake Bay watershed will provide opportunities to get to know, delight in, and have compassion for, all of our neighbors, from the black bears who live in the headwaters, to the oyster farmers who call the estuary home. Opportunities for spiritual awakening and healing for humans as well as the local natural systems will be explored.
