Below is the description for the assignment. Please write about attending a spiritual or religious experience as if you’re a non-religious person who doesn’t attend church. If you can write about experiencing mass at a catholic church or going to chrisitan church or synagogue that would be ideal. This is for a marriage and family therapy course on using spirituality in practice. Please answer all questions at the bottom of this prompt.
For many of the remaining discussion boards, there will be need for a commitment to participate in a new to you religious or spiritual practice/activity and to discuss these experiences in our weekly online discussions. Religious and spiritual activities can include experiences such as meditation practice, dream analysis, yoga practice, and attendance at religious or spiritual services/activities different from one’s own. Each week there will be different aspects of this experience you will be discussing with your classmates and reflecting upon how these new experiences are impacting the way you view spirituality and client care. It is important to find experiences that may make you uncomfortable due to lack of knowledge and experience with the religious/spiritual practice or activity.
