"Culture, Identity, and the Self"
We will explore to what extent our identity, attitudes, and expectations are embedded in our culture, and how encounters with other cultures may surprise us, open our eyes, stimulate our curiosity, and impact our sense of self. What can we learn and how may we use our experience of diverse traditions, norms, and values to expand and enhance our journey to the Self?

"Making a Good End"
We will examine the challenges and developmental tasks asked of us by the Self when facing the end of life. What would "dying well" look like? How may we come to peace with leaving our lived and unlived lives?
