Dear Colleagues:
In the context of global change and challenges, I would like to bring to your
attention the program in Ecology, Spirituality, and Religion, at the California
Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco. The program, the only one of
its kind in the western US, is currently accepting applications for MA and PhD
study.
I would be grateful if you would share this information with your students.
Applications for Fall 2014 are accepted throughout the spring, and admission is
on a rolling basis.
Best wishes -

Ecology, Spirituality,
and Religion at CIIS
The ecological challenges of the 21st century represent a crisis of values and
consciousness. The twin threats of climate change and biodiversity loss are
among the greatest existential threats humanity has seen. Graduate study in
Ecology, Spirituality, and Religion allows students to cultivate the knowledge
and wisdom to respond to the ecological crisis from integral and
transdisciplinary perspectives. Students gain skills and insight to transform
practices, worldviews, and consciousness in the service of a more just and
flourishing planetary future.
The program's uniquely integrated curriculum explores such questions as:
* What are the roles of religion, spirituality, and culture in the
ecological crises of our time?
* What ecological insights do the world's religious heritages offer?
* How can exploring worldviews help us to understand and address
ecological trauma?
Ecology, Spirituality, and Religion MA
The MA in Ecology, Spirituality, and Religion emphasizes an embodied, engaged
approach, in which contemplative practice and career exploration complement
rigorous study. Students are at the forefront of a rapidly emerging
interdisciplinary field devoted to ecological healing and resilience. Graduates
will be well prepared to engage environmental issues in multiple spheres, or to
pursue doctoral-level study.
Ecology, Spirituality, and Religion PhD
PhD students
investigate and analyze the role of worldviews, philosophies, and religions in
generating and responding to global challenges. Doctoral students wishing to
specialize in Ecology, Spirituality, and Religion should possess a master's
degree in a discipline relevant to the program (e.g., religion, ecology,
biology, environmental studies, environmental history, geography, anthropology,
literature, or philosophy) from an accredited graduate institution.
Core Faculty Core faculty are at the forefront of the dialogue linking
spiritual and cosmological with ecology and sustainability. Faculty include:
