Program for the Evolution of Spirituality

The Program for the Evolution of Spirituality (PES) at Harvard Divinity School supports the scholarly study of emerging spiritual movements, marginalized spiritualities, and the innovative edges of established religious traditions. It also prepares students for ministry in these movements. Through conferences, field experiences, course offerings, and public lectures, the program expands HDS’s expertise in topics such as spirituality among the millennial generation, ecological spirituality, and the ethics of power in spiritual communities. The program held its inaugural conference on Ecological Spiritualities in 2022.
