Topics in Counselling - Spirituality and Learning

Access: Open to all MEd students

NOTE: There is a registration cap of 20 seats for this course.

This course will examine the relationship between counselling and spirituality. A framework for the spiritually oriented counsellor will be offered to explore topics such as forgiveness, guilt, suffering, death, various concepts of a higher power, transcendence, and mystical experience. Through reading, reflecting, and research, students will explore meaning and transcendence, the difference between religion and spirituality, and the impact openness to spirituality has on the therapeutic alliance.
