Description: Studio course: Gives students the opportunity in a seminar format to come to a deeper awareness of who they are and why they do what they do. Through practices such as centering prayer and journaling and tools like the Enneagram, and inspiration from the mystics, students will gain a clearer picture of their identities in Christ and of what impedes them from living out that identity. (Note: it is required that students take both SFAD 551 and SFAD 552).
