The First Year at Sacred Journey Interfaith Seminary sets the foundation of study and includes both the traditional and mystical aspects of different religions/traditions/faith practices through a lens of wisdom, ritual, energy and reflection.
The seminarian is exposed to the major tenets and philosophies of various religions/traditions/faith practices. Through instructional and experiential methods, the seminarian explores the rituals, energy and symbolic meaning underlying these faiths.
Part of the program includes the study of these faiths through texts, field work, written assignments and in-class discussion.
Classes are held both in person as well as virtually for those who are unable to travel or attend in person.
