Join us as we explore the role of myths and symbols found in American civic, national, cultural, and religious life. We’ll examine core beliefs, practices and sacred traditions of three major religious groups in the United States as well as the power that myths and symbols hold over individuals and communities. Finally, we’ll discuss how art and music enhance or detract from of an individual or culture’s spiritual journey.
Highlights
• Examine the impact of cultural and religious myths and symbols on spiritual growth and how they can be stifling or life-giving.
• Discuss the effects musical and visual art on civic and religious culture.
