Course Information
Description
This course is designed for people training to be chaplains in situations in which they might serve nonreligious folks. We will be discussing what chaplaincy and/or ministry is when practiced outside of traditional religion. We will also be learning practical skills in order to build out your spiritual care toolkit for serving religious nones.
For the bulk of the course we will be using novels to suss out what we think chaplaincy for non-religious people can mean and what it can look like. We will also use these texts in order to practice using secular texts as if they were sacred ones; one of the spiritual tools we will be practicing.
In this course we all talk about storytelling, nail-painting, tarot and tea reading, eye contact, listening to music and other activities as sacred. Students should leave this class with an idea of what their chaplaincy is and with a firm idea of several tools that they can use in order to do that work.
