For thousands of years, humanity has passionately pursued “the Truth” – the ultimate answers to life and the universe – asking questions like 'What is my purpose?" and “What is the meaning of life?”
Historically, there have been two routes to discover these truths: religion and spirituality. Our religion and spirituality courses teach both and will show you the differences between the two schools of thought.
A religion is an organised collection of beliefs, cultural systems, and world views that relate humanity to an order of existence.
A spiritual system, on the other hand, is focused on self-knowledge, energy and consciousness. It’s not about beliefs, but practices that develop a deeper understanding of “the self”.
If you’d like to find out more, and study religion and spirituality, we have short courses that are open to everyone which can introduce to both of these powerful social and cultural forces.
