Every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the information contained in this Columbia College Chicago Catalog; however, the Catalog is not a contract but rather a guide for the convenience of students. Columbia College Chicago reserves the right to change or withdraw courses; to change the fees, rules, and calendar for admission, registration, instruction, and graduation; and to change any of its policies or other provisions listed in the Catalog at any time.
Course explores a variety of philosophical and religious texts on mysticism, meditation, and spirituality from both the Eastern and Western traditions. Classroom activities of meditation, ritual process, and creative flow give students direct experience of these concepts. Weekly contemplations and two extended papers further help students understand mystical awareness at both the intellectual and experiential levels.
