Explore Seattle, the “Emerald City” known for its green, sustainable infrastructure and vibrant city life. Then, spend two weeks at Holden Village, a much smaller-scale encounter with greenery and sustainability. In both locations, we explore concepts like community, compassion, renewal, and repair – concepts with resonance in spirituality as well as sustainability. The Holden Village component brings students to a place apart from technological connections, and together with one another and with nature. Holden means not using cell phone connections for two weeks (no reception and no wi-fi) and being embraced by a community that has a specific religious identity (with no requirement to be spiritual or religious oneself). Please join us in the Pacific Northwest for a new perspective in a place apart!
