Peace Initiator
(Note: This is a new course offered at NETU)
Explore, learn and study: Your self esteem as an individual in relation to a group or community you are embedded in. A collective is more than the sum of individuals; with its own dynamics, it provides the larger context in which each individual is held. Become aware of how one’s unconscious choices determine one’s reactions in daily life and influence collective events; and how being conscious means taking responsibility for oneself and how one influences others. Making conscious choices can re-direct one’s energy into change: The behavior of groups. A nation as a group. Different levels of group consciousness, Western individuality and group phenomena, individuality and groups in other cultures - even the effects of a natural catastrophe on behavior and reactions. You'll see yourself as an individual and integral part of a collective - and how thoughts, emotions and actions have a constructive or destructive influence on yourself, others and larger groups. Learn discernment for constructive and destructive power of group events, to consciously choose peace over being a victim of manipulation through fear, and how a change in attitude is followed by rewiring the neurological pathways in the brain + vice versa.
Required Course Text: The Dormant Potential of a Nation: Germany, A Psychopolitical Case History, Margret Rueffler, Ph.D., ISBN: 978-3-9522112-6-7

Anatomy of Life: Critical Thinking and The Structure/Function Relationship
(Note: This is a new course offered at NETU)
In this course we will explore The Structure/Function Relationship as a concept and critical thinking tool. The better suited a structure is at performing its function the more benefits it will generate. Becoming more aware of and understanding our internal and external structure/function relationships allows for productive adaptation and well-balanced lifestyles. You will learn to identify structure/function relationships at various levels of existences (from micro to macro) and theorize how structure/function impacts us all: Chemically, Anatomically, Emotionally, and Spiritually. Anatomy of Life provides a foundational overview of general biological concepts and Anatomy and Physiology, revealing The Structure/Function Relationships existing all around us. For fulfillment, students are required to review lectures & resources, and attend calendared conference-call discussions (about every two-weeks). Students will also be required to present a variety of creative projects during the semester. Once core concepts are mastered students critically think about and explore abstract applications of The Structure/Function Relationship as a final project/presentation/paper (60% of course) as articulated in the syllabus).
Required Course Text: There is no required text, however access to, or purchase of, any anatomy and physiology textbook will be helpful, but all information may be searched online.

Interspiritual Studies in Sacred Poetry
With Machig Labdrön’s drum in celebratory dance with Grouse and Gabriel’s horn... this contemplative course explores an interdependent weaving of Interspiritual insights gleaned through the lens of sacred poetry. Oneness is the overarching theme with emphasis on individual creativity through meditative reading and writing. Expanded vistas of consciousness from revelatory self-expression of the Sacred Feminine and Divine Masculine principles (in balance) are core to this inner journey. Goals of this course: 1) expose students to many spiritual traditions and their captivating wisdom-keepers; 2) provide inspiration — in philosophy and practice — to compose from heroic, heart-centered depths of the Soul.
Required Course Text: Garland of Grace: Sitting with the Dying Sun 13-ISBN# 978-0988367425
