On Hiatus until Fall, 2021
Each of the four terms has ten classes over twenty weeks; there are two terms per year. Classes are held via Zoom so that everyone can interact with everyone else in a video environment.
The retreats are held one weekend between semesters, are face-to-face, and are highly recommended. There is no extra fee, but transportation and lodging must be arranged by the student. All efforts are made to reduce the cost and inconvenience to students.
In addition to the classes, one-on-one sessions are held each month with each student to further their development and spiritual growth in their personal faith.
In each term there is a primary focus, but all themes – Storytelling, Multi-faith Foundations, Spirituality, and Jewish Foundations – are touched upon in each term.
