Spirit of Change
Spirit of Change: Shifting the Paradigm from Poverty to Prosperity
In this course we will engage with community-based programs attempting to shift the paradigm from poverty to prosperity; reflect on the ways our personal sense of social justice is formed and transformed; and consider the implications of our local learning in a global context. The interactive foci of this course are contemplative practice (two days will be spent in retreat at Treleven Farm); scholarly engagement with texts (Hahn’s/Love in Action/, Kunin’s The New Feminist Agenda, Palmer’s Let Your Life Speak, and Senge’s Presence plus two texts co-selected by each student with the instructor) and small group engagement with a nonprofit agency.
