We are committed to creating wilderness-based learning opportunities that allow students to begin thinking within the context of the entire planet by discovering firsthand the broader community that brought us into being and sustains us in every expression of human life, including:
-Our physical nourishment and health
-Our intellectual perceptions
-Our emotional and aesthetic sensi
tivities
-Our sense of the divine. Driven by our compassion for the future health of our planet and by questions concerning the human's role for transitioning into an Ecozoic Era, Xavier Expeditions is dedicated to offering ways for students to rediscover Earth as our primary teacher and to learn how the human story participates in the broader Earth and Universe story. This commitment aligns itself with Xavier University's mission to educate the whole person by challenging and supporting students as they cultivate lives of reflection, compassion, and informed action for generations to come. These courses are integrated with specific philosophical, theological and ecological lessons that allow our expeditions to become unique, profound learning events that contribute to our students' intellectual, moral and spiritual development. Each course is formatted with Experience and Story components integrated into a wilderness setting. For more information, please visit our website at http://www.xavierexpeditions.com
