Spiritual Study means primarily study and experience of spirituality as such, in a general perspective that embraces all together, in a single view, all kinds of spirituality, including secular, artistic, atheistic, agnostic, skeptic, materialistic, humanist and “spiritual but not religious” spiritualities. Secondarily we consider individual spiritualities as well. You can find an in depth study of the definition of spirituality in the academic article What is spirituality?

Spiritual Study is study of spirituality involving our whole life, emotions, body, experiences. It is cultivation of a spiritual experience, indirect connections, awareness of our self, art of living and building a lifestyle. You can use the course as a text to practice your daily meditation, nourishment, the pleasure of practicing the art of Spiritual Study. It is an instrument to make exist, cultivate, witness and listen to the memory of spirituality as a subject carrying out its history in the subjectivities of the world and in our own subjectivity.

Spiritual Study appreciates critical thinking, while today, instead, a lot of what they call “spirituality” is sale of optimism in exchange for money or attention. Here we like to consider multiple and opposing perspectives and experiences. Thinking that criticism is an obstacle to the spontaneity of spirituality is itself a good example of criticism that we appreciate. Criticism does not come just from reasoning, reflection and intellectual analysis; a lot of valuable criticism comes from claiming the importance of our experience, emotions, body, feelings, spontaneity. Here we love to take into consideration this kind of criticism, as well as any other kind of criticism and different perspectives. This wide concept of criticism and self-criticism, that likes to listen continuously to different voices, is considered here like a synonim of search for the highest quality in everything, suitable for anybody wanting to cultivate spirituality with a serious engagement rather than just as a hobby.
