to explore the search for spirituality in church life and in public values
The offer includes postgraduate study and research programmes validated by the University of Winchester, as well as short courses on spirituality for intellectual, professional and personal growth and renewal. Courses and events cover diverse spirituality themes as they relate to art, mysticism, feminism, gender, postmodernism, desire, popular culture, music and the Christian tradition.
Listening to an art historian with a feminist, priest, younger more alternative voice talk about paintings was wonderful. Church isn’t exciting me at the moment and this stuff did.

Having entered a rather ‘fallow’ time for study in the last two of three years, this course has left me more positive and ready to see what else I can now research.

Looking for opportunities to build on your experience?
We offer a stimulating, creative, and supportive environment to deepen your reflective, theological, and pastoral abilities.
Learning opportunities include evening lectures, day and residential courses – all at varying levels, from academic to experiential, intensive to leisurely.
These courses operate through two overlapping frameworks, academic and practical, in varying formats – day, weekend and series courses. The College hosts conferences on a range of spirituality themes, including medieval spirituality, spirituality and healthcare, and spiritual direction.
Postgraduate programmes in Christian Spirituality are ideal for those with ministry or other professional experience and/or those with an undergraduate theological qualification who are seeking to deepen and develop their learning.
Study for academic credit can lead to a Postgraduate Certificate, Diploma and MA, with the opportunity to develop an Independent Research Project on a topic of your choice.
The courses dive into the history of the Christian spiritual tradition, explore the nature and place of Christian spirituality in the contemporary world, and offer specific focus on art, creativity, mysticism, embodiment, pastoral ministry, and sexuality among many other topics.
Another option is to try a postgraduate course without registering for academic credit, eg auditing a module.
We are happy to work with you to design a bespoke programme to suit your group or organisation’s needs. Previous clients include Norwegian and Icelandic pastors, ministerial development days at Bath and Wells and diocesan study programmes. We also offer bespoke consultancy and training days to address spiritual needs in organisational environments.
This two-year course offers a balanced learning environment, blending personal and spiritual formation with skills development.
