The theme of “home” will be explored symbolically and concretely by examining its social, cultural, psychological, and spiritual dimensions.
Symbolically we will explore emotions surrounding home such as security, belonging, and refuge from the outer world, as well as homelessness including feeling lost, homesick or orphaned. We will grapple with what is “home” when everything familiar is coming apart? What happens to “home” when there is no refuge from suffering or when “home” is the place of suffering? How do we live when “home” is radically altered by illness, loss or death? What unfolds when one no longer feels “at home” in his or her country?
Concretely, we will look at actual homelessness, including in our own backyards, as a reflection of yearning and despair. As we circle around ideas of home, homelessness, and the process of becoming at home in oneself, we will look at how terrifying homelessness can be, and how the road home may be traveled as a spiritual journey. We will consider how analysis can be a powerful homecoming.
A course syllabus may be found in "course materials" after registration.
