MORE ABOUT US
Overview
From a beginning of just a few
courses offered to a handful of students back in 1983, we have
now grown to a regular offering of ten to twelve courses for 150
to 200 registrants each year. These courses are provided by
top-notch teachers from a variety of backgrounds and cover
topics like in-depth studies of theology and sacred literature,
the history of religions, comparative studies of the world's
great religions, great sacred art and music, and practical
approaches to the application of our religious values to the
world we live in each day. For a flavor of what we're
about, the information below shows our enrollment data and
course offerings over the past three years.
