REL 352/652: Group Process II:Cultivating the Sacred

The second of two classes on understanding and working with the human group-field. With a theoretical basis established in the previous course, this class continues to examine group-field process work in a variety of "applied" expressions. Examples of these include dialogue practice, community-based ritual practice, wisdom circles, archetypal motifs and principles of restorative justice. While this is a more experiential class, it continues to explore earlier themes around conflict, diversity and sacred view.
