SEM 364 - Spirituality of the Child

Institution:

Gwynedd Mercy University

Subject:

Description:

This course explores spirituality from the developmental, creative, and present-moment perspective of the young child, with particular focus on the works of Robert Coles, Aline Wolf, and various peace educators. Concentrating on the child as spirit-in-action, we explore creativity, acceptance of difference, and non-violence as elements of childhood development that are in need of nurturing. Through our own spiritual awareness and the use of practical activities, we adults can foster this natural development of spirit in children. This course focuses on non-violence, one of the five critical concerns of the Sisters of Mercy: Earth, Immigration, Non-violence, Racism, and Women. This course meets the University?s definition of writing intensive. ENG 101 is a pre-requisite.
