The Path to Sacred Service that leads to ordination as an Interfaith Minister is based on a four prong learning paradigm:
Wisdom – The seminarian is exposed to the major tenets & beliefs of various religions and paths utilizing a historical -philosophical –and cultural lens. The curriculum exposes the seminarian to the understanding of the religions using a didactic - pedagogical and experiential method. The seminarian is immersed in the knowledge of ministry and its various elements.
Rites & Ritual –The seminarian is introduced to rites and ritual and explores its meaning and symbols through experiential methods. Seminarians are immersed in the practice of ritual in the context of ministry.
Energy – Seminarians explore energetic and metaphysical elements that apply to spiritual practice (Reiki, breathwork,meditation, crystals, etc).
Reflection - The component of self- reflection and introspection is an important elements of seminary training and is integral in the seminary curriculum. This spiritual development is critical for the seminarian in their own spiritual evolution and is accomplished through writing exercises, meditation, and self- reflection. Seminarians are encouraged to “dig deep” about their individual spiritual practice and sacred journey.
All class sessions are offered in person or virtually and attendance is required. There are a series of intensive retreats that all seminarians are required to attend in person. Retreat fees are separate from tuition. All costs/fees for textbooks and Minister's Manual are also separate.
Sacred Journey Interfaith Seminary has met all of the requirements through the Florida Department of Education, Commission for Independent Education under the Fl Statute 1005.06 (1) (f) and Rule 6E-5.001 pursuant to religious institutions.
