When conducting research initiatives and public conversations, one engages in ideological conversations which invariably lead to the exploration of ways of being in the world. This is always a profound and often spiritual experience. For this reason, the Rivendell Institute recognizes the vital role of spiritual formation in a university context.
We offer individual mentoring and these opportunities to engage in spiritual formation with others:
The Rivendell Seminar for Spring 2012
The Principles and Practice of Integration
This four week seminar will investigate the practice of integration, and rather than simply thinking about its principles in isolation, we shall articulate a model for integration and then apply that model to the contours of various disciplines.
Four Mondays starting February 6
6:00-7:30 pm
At the Rivendell Institute
Light Supper provided!
Women’s Bible Study
A popular event! Beginning in mid-January, this group will
