A Creative and Interactive Study of the Rule of St. Benedict

"This introductory course delves into the Rule of St. Benedict, a foundational text on Western monastic traditions. Across class sessions, students engage with original Latin text, translating and discussing sections, then participate in hands-on activities aligned with Benedictine spirituality. These include calligraphy, illumination, carving, architectural exploration, and Gregorian chant. The course not only immerses students in historical practices and works but also reflects on their contemporary relevance."

"Taught over a semester, this course is an exploration of medieval religious history and its connection to modern life. It offers a holistic learning experience, combining academic study with creative and physical activities, appealing to those interested in religious studies and the creative arts."
