RG ST 103 - Nature Spirituality
Is the human connection to nature a form of religion? Can activities like hiking, surfing, swimming and birdwatching be understood as spiritual practices? What are the implications of framing environmentalism as a religious commitment? Through a variety of lenses, including nature writing, neo-pagan and animistic practices, BIPOC perspectives, and the reflections of scientists and religion scholars, this course considers the many ways in which humans engage spiritually with nature and nonhumans.
