Ecology and Spirituality (MA)
Program Available at Lampeter Campus
At this point in human history, many academics, activists, leaders, and thinkers are calling for urgent reconsideration of the cultural narratives and spiritual values that support our very existence on the planet.
In an attempt to divert the current trajectory of ‘progress’ and ‘development’ towards a more sustainable and equitable future, this requires objective and critical thinking about our relationship and connection to the natural world, to the people and communities around us and to the very beliefs and values that drive our individual and collective actions.
This program in Ecology and Spirituality explores the relationship between spirituality, religion, philosophy on the one hand, and ecology on the other. We can ask whether spirituality and religion may be causes of current ecological crises, or offer solutions to the systemic ecological crises in which we find ourselves.
We inquire into the spiritual uses of ecology - and ask whether it has a spiritual dimension. As a program of postgraduate study, depending on the modules you choose, this course offers a personal and experiential journey – an opportunity for you to deeply explore your own inner landscape and how it relates to your actions in the outer world.
