BACKGROUND QUESTION

We seek to ensure that our students, graduates, and faculty all adhere to the standards of ethical conduct that the public has a right to expect from anyone in a position of spiritual authority, or anyone in a helping profession.

The following question will help us to understand any possible past or current issues we need to be aware of in fully and honestly assessing your candidacy for this program. A "yes" answer will not automatically disqualify you from admission, but will open a necessary discussion to help us understand where you are in your process of self-understanding, growth, and readiness for service to others.

Have you have had a professional license or certification suspended or revoked?

ESSAY QUESTIONS

Please answer the following question(s) in 1-2 paragraphs (fields have character limits):

How did you hear about One Spirit? (If from one of our staff, graduates, or current students, please include that person’s name, if possible.) Please also tell us your pronouns.

One Spirit is based in Interspirituality. We came from an interfaith beginning. Please describe what has drawn you to apply to this program. (e.g. Why this program of study? Why at One Spirit in particular? Why interspirituality?)

⇧ Back to Top / Contents ⇧

The Interspiritual Seminary program at One Spirit is about deep introspection and requires personal engagement. Given that, what do you hope to gain from this program?

One Spirit's vision is to inspire and advance the evolution of sacred consciousness in service to individuals, communities and the Earth. How would you describe yourself as someone who wants to make a contribution and do good in the world? Please include how that desire has expressed itself in your life. (e.g., volunteer activities, working in a helping profession, practicing environmental stewardship, being a listening ear for friends and colleagues, working with animals, etc.)

In addition to the educational aspect of this program, a central part of this training involves engaging in deep personal exploration and transformational inner work, which may be spiritually and emotionally challenging. Describe the personal work you have engaged in and experienced as part of your growth.

⇧ Back to Top / Contents ⇧

Building a healthy community is an essential part of the One Spirit learning experience and requires personal accountability and reflection. What are your experiences working with groups?

What resources do you have in place for support and guidance should the need arise? And if not, what can you do to put that in place as needed? Additionally, the seminary program requires a dedication of time and energy for the process of spiritual growth and expansion. How will you create space in your life to give this learning process the focus and attention it needs?

YOUR SPIRITUAL AUTOBIOGRAPHY
