The Institute is comprised of two, one-week sessions. Participants may attend either or both sessions. The curriculum is designed to study a wide variety o spiritual masters and mystics, along with biblical, liturgical and social themes. To further add to the breadth of the Institute, Spring Hill faculty are joined each year by well known visiting faculty. The academic coursework is enhanced by the cultivation of a faith community, through daily liturgical prayer and personal sharing. While rooted in Catholic theology, the program is fully ecumenical and welcomes persons of all faiths.
