Core Curriculum
The Seton Cove offers seven distinct classes as part of the core curriculum:
- The Enlightened Heart
- Mindfulness: Cultivating a Reverence for Living
- Crossing Thresholds
- Integrating Your Life
- Finding Heart in Your Work
- The Middle Way: Entering a Contemplative Mode of Being
These classes can be taken in any order. There is no required progression. Each class has reading and journal assignments, and class participation expectations. These classes are central to the mission and vision of the Seton Cove: providing the solitary searching of the spiritual journey, and the time and space for receiving help and guidance from others.
The Christian theologian, Karl Rahner, says that learning always involves self-transcendence. Learning calls forth what is in us, helping us to move toward authenticity and wholeness. The Seton Cove has developed a series of classes that we believe focus on Rahner’s theology that learning always involves our free self-creation.

Taking a Long, Loving Look at the Real
In this group we will look at what it means to develop a compassionate heart and walk the path of loving-kindness. We will draw on readings from the Buddhist teacher Pema Chodron, as well as Christian contemplatives Thomas Merton, Richard Rohr, John Main, Anthony DeMello and Macrina Wiederkehr to help us determine what is "the Real" and how we can be lovingly present to it.

BOOT CAMP FOR THE SOUL:
Waking Up to Who You Really Are
Take the challenge to get your spiritual practice back up and running. During these five sessions we will spend time looking at developing a rhythm and balance in our all too hectic lives. According to Wayne Muller, “Our culture invariably supposes that action and accomplishment are better than rest, that doing something—anything—is better than doing nothing.” It seems there is always something to distract us and knock us off course. In this course we will learn how to establish this rhythm and develop a structure for achieving the balanced life. Topics covered:
