Yerusha's Institute for Deep Ecumenism Presents:
Introduction to Deep Ecumenism
Thursdays, 5:00-7:00pm ET
July 11 - August 15, 2024
Deep Ecumenism, as the theologian Matt Fox explained, is where all religions are recognized as wells fed by the river of Divinity, and these wells in turn feed that Divine river. Reb Zalman (z"l) asserted that when we come to each religion’s dogmas, myths, and theologies, we are all on shaky ground. These ideologies create the divisions of triumphalism; that we are always right and you are always wrong. This course will delve deeply into the need and justification to change the historical reality-maps of division and competition, and come to understand how Deep Ecumenism is the path that is necessary for a spiritual and cultural paradigm shift.
During this course, we will:
- Determine what stands in the way of getting it together - that which divides us
- Identify alternative ways of relating to other spiritual traditions
- Understand the benefits of Deep Ecumenism
- Outline how we get there
- Ask what changes are needed in how we see our own traditions and how we relate to other spiritual traditions
Tuition Policy
Yerusha offers our courses on a sliding scale. This policy is based on 3 core principles:
-
The fiscal sustainability of our organization
-
Paying our faculty and staff dignified and competitive wages
-
Ensuring that cost is not a barrier to participation
When you pay as high as you are able and willing, you are helping someone else who does not have the means to do so. Thank you for sustaining our work, ensuring we pay dignified wages, and giving others a chance to experience our transformative courses.
We offer prices at low, medium, and high ends of a range. If you wish to augment your tuition anywhere within those ranges, you may use the accompanying donation form during your registration.
