SPIRITUALITY AND IMAGINATION
Our spirituality concerns our vision and way of life, the eyes through which we look at life and the path we follow in our journey through life. In this class we shall explore how works of imagination may help us develop and enrich how we understand and live our life. These include story, music, painting, sculpture, architecture and all the arts, especially works of beauty. Our description is intended to be open-ended so that our class may focus on the needs and interests of those present.
