Spiritual Education and Enrichment (SEE)

SEE courses will be taught in one of three ways; as a face-to-face, online or hybrid course. Anyone can take SEE courses.

• Face-to-face courses are "traditional" courses, taught on-campus at Unity Village, Missouri.
• Online courses are provided online, but have no live or interactive components. (Example: Self-paced courses) These courses will be offered at a later date.
• Hybrid courses are provided online with some scheduled, online interactive sessions. Interactive sessions include live, real-time interaction between the instructor and all students in the course.

If you are a spiritual explorer, see our SEE Course Schedules below.
