If you are curious about spirituality and its role in mental health and ecology our course can help transform your interests into academic expertise. We offer you the chance to go on an exploration of purpose and attempt to answer the big questions in life, to help make a difference in a more harmonious world.
This course is perfect for you even if you are a newcomer to psychology just wanting to change your outlook, change your career or have an influence on worldwide issues.
If you can bring the passion and commitment to the discussions and your studies, we can give you the grounding and skills you need to apply your knowledge in a meaningful way. Not everyone on the course will come in with an academic background and we all come with our unique talents, perspectives and experiences. Your contribution is important for all of our shared learning journeys.
Together, we will explore spirituality, ecology and mental health from perspectives such as transpersonal, humanistic and existential psychology, as well as ecopsychology, parapsychology, counselling and coaching, complementary and alternative medicine and items from the wider physical and social sciences categories.
We will explore topics such as the varieties of spiritual experience and spiritual practices, the science of meaningfulness, wellness & wholeness, the power of belief, intention & attention, the importance of responsibility, ethics & values, ideas of connectedness, sacredness, discernment & resonance, and models of spiritual transformation & growth, to name a few.
We will draw on new research to uncover wisdom from the world’s spiritual traditions: the relationship of spirituality with nature, the relationship of spirituality with mental health, the different pathways to spiritual development and different spiritual worldviews.
Gain the opportunity to apply learning to life by developing an evidence-based approach to spiritual practice at home and work. You will apply your knowledge and skills to creating or participating in community projects in the module ‘Serving Gaia’, as well undertaking a piece of research in the form of a literature-based, interview-based, work-based, resource-based or performance-based project.
