Sharing Experiences

Just like other religious communities, Pagans experience births and deaths, pains and joys — the full range of human experience. Every week at Cherry Hill Seminary we hear comments like these:

  • Do you know of a Pagan minister to help my family with a funeral?

  • I feel I should be visiting Pagans in prison, but don’t have a clue how to go about it.

  • I’ve been in recovery for ten years, and now I’m ready to give back as a spiritual care provider.

  • Covens and circles where I live want to do more, but no one really knows how to lead.

  • We have a chaplain at my Army base, but he’s not comfortable with doing a ritual.

While many resources exist to train and assist students as they pursue their chosen Pagan tradition or path, there is an acute need for specific training in areas such as rites of passage, working with children and families, counseling, addictions, marriage and family issues, religion and the law, interfaith work, Pagan scholarship, media and public relations, ritual arts, leadership development, and nonprofit management.

Many of us have received outstanding training in our chosen tradition, but there are some special individuals who feel compelled to go above and beyond with their service to others. These are the people who come to Cherry Hill Seminary for a different kind of education. Cherry Hill Seminary provides quality higher education and practical training in Pagan ministry and earth-based spirituality studies. Students look to us to:

  • Provide an extensive education in diverse aspects of Pagan philosophy, practice, and skilled ministry;

  • Supplement existing ritual and magical skills with training for professional ministry and counseling;

  • Serve as an ongoing resource for individual continuing education; and

  • Provide a forum for scholarship and community

In the spirit of learning and community, we here present articles written by our students, faculty and leadership. If something you read prompts you to ask a question, feel free to contact us at CHS@cherryhillseminary.org. We will do our best to connect you with the author.
