We Center the Margins

Our curriculum begins with the experiences of marginalized bodies and under-resourced communities as sources of moral and theological wisdom.

We Structure for Access

Our units are intentionally paced with breaks and attention to sensory and processing needs, giving students the time to learn and integrate their experiences into their practice of spiritual care.

We offer clinical flexibility

Clinical hours can be completed across a variety of settings, making full participation possible regardless of ability or location.

We take your whole self seriously

Your narrative history, social location, orienting system, and body are not incidental to your formation. They are central to it.
