Studying Spirituality at Oblate has been special because the program here is the "lineage holder" of the academic discipline of spirituality, a mature and growing field that is able to meet the contemporary moment. Because of the spirituality program's emphasis on interdisciplinarity, or "spirituality and...", I have been able to grow as a scholar-practitioner of Classical Chinese Medicine by practically, intellectually, and intuitively weaving the models of interconnectedness and relationality inherent in Christian spirituality with the Daoist concept of Oneness, yin and yang, and the ten thousand things.

The Master's in Spirituality at OST has helped me recognize my own spiritual journey; it has made me more aware of how to walk intentionally in finding God in the present moment.Furthermore, this program has enhanced my ability to serve as a spiritual director, allowing me to better support anyone who wishes to grow in their relationship with God and embrace the fruits of that friendship.
