Celebrating 25 years of Postgraduate Studies in Applied Spirituality

The unique MA in Applied Spirituality will be 25 years old in 2026. In that time it has made an inestimable contribution to the development of postgraduate spirituality studies in Ireland and to spirituality as a new academic-practitioner discipline in higher education and the professions. In order to celebrate the gifts and benefits of these studies for graduates in terms of the companionship, making a difference in their own setting, accompanying others on their journey, and navigating life’s challenges, SpIRE will mark the silver jubilee with an event in Dublin on Saturday, March 28th. The current programme leadership team, Bernadette (founding programme director), Michael (longest serving director) and Noelia (current director) are in the photos above. Graduates of the programme are encouraged to spread the word among those who studied with them. Contact Michael O’Sullivan at spiremos@gmail.com
