Jeannine teaches classes on St. Hildegard of Bingen, Creation Spirituality and Chanting. Below is a list of courses she teaches.
INTRODUCTION TO CREATION SPIRITUALITY
with David Sharp, DMin
This course will teach students the four paths of Creation Spirituality as well as principles associated with Creation Spirituality. Students will then look at the lives and works of the following mystics, artists and prophets through the lens of Creation Spirituality: Jose Hobday, Joanna Macy, M.C. Richards, The Dalai Lama and Desmond Tutu. This course will conclude with the students investigating their own lives through the lens of Creation Spirituality.
This class will help you explore your creative expression! As a 30 year student of Creation Spirituality my creativity continues to flow, connecting me more closely with the Divine, and the Divine in each other. View this video to see me playing with the Marimba Band Kutandara to see and hear what I mean. If I can play the marimba, just imagine what you could do if you study Creation Spirituality!

CHANTING THE WISDOM TRADITIONS with David Sharp, DMin
In this course, we will use music, lyrics and movement from the world’s wisdom traditions to touch the spiritual essence within ourselves and bring us together in community and celebration. The wisdom traditions we will tap into are: Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism, Islam and the wisdom of Indigenous Peoples. Each day we will teach chants from one or two of these traditions. We will give the background story for each of the chants. The lyrics will be presented in the original language as well as in English. We will teach movements for some of the chants and will provide live musical accompaniment. This will enable students to take the chants deeply into their hearts and bodies. After practicing the chants, students will have opportunities to express their inner experience via drawing and journaling. |
THE MYSTIC HILDEGARD
This course begins with an immersion in St. Hildegard's Journey through the Senses, an exhibit that shows the life and work of this powerful mystic. Students will also read and discuss the content of the very first biography written about St. Hildegard in the twelfth century. Students will then explore St. Hildegard's theological writings and illuminations as well as her medical texts. Some of St. Hildegardd's remedies will be available for sampling. The class will then take a look at St. Hildegard's relationship with her world and key people in her life. The class will conclude with an exploration of how students can use St. Hildegard as an inspiration in their own lives.

ENGAGING HILDEGARD'S MUSIC, ART AND HERBS
In this course we will use reading, music, guided imagery, St. Hildegard’s Illuminations and Healing Remedies as well as movement, to create a meditative connection with St. Hildegard and her life’s work. In this space of deep connection, students will access their deepest creative selves and from this space they will express their souls in a variety of artistic mediums: water color painting, drawing, singing, movement, journaling and finally constructing their own model buildings using a whole variety of materials (i.e. popsicle sticks, clay, feathers, paper, ornaments, miniature toys, to name just a few!) As the students share the creative process as well as their creations with each other during the week we will be forming a very intimate community of creative powerhouses!
