Who is this for?
Anyone who has an interest in asking why. We believe this class can be of value regardless of one’s religious or theistic beliefs. This class attempts to express a paradigm of human cognition that might explain the function of religion throughout human history.

The next class session will begin in January of 2025.
Where Will It Be?
In person and online. Currently looking for a venue, ideally somewhere in the south suburbs of Minneapolis: Bloomington, Richfield, Eagan, Burnsville, Savage, Apple Valley or Lakeville, Minnesota. The in person session will be streamed and available to watch online.
