| Examine a neuroscience model of spiritual
practices as integration leading to embodied
knowledge of ourselves as members within larger
systems. Review cumulative neuroscience research
to illustrate implications for discernment, spiritual
practice, and spiritual direction. Using experiential
exercises from Eastern, Western, and Indigenous
traditions, we will explore different kinds of
neuro-integration facilitated by various spiritual
practices.
