What does our spiritual life have to do with our academic life? Should they be separated or can they be brought together holistically? Academic life often neglects and hinders spiritual formation, because the whole idea is dismissed by atheistic cultures, diminished by secular cultures, or exaggerated by spiritualist cultures. At the root of the problem are conceptions of the relationship between the mind, body, and soul.
Join us as Dr. Nita Kotiuga, Director of Spiritual Formation at Bakke Graduate University, explores how to nurture the spiritual and the life of the mind. Dr. Kotiuga, a trained spiritual director in Ignatian spirituality, will discuss how academics can embrace the spiritual life by placing their minds under the direction of the Holy Spirit so that they can fully function as God intended, following the Holy Spirit into all truth.
