Here is what everyone should know about Stacy's "doctorate"

"Matthew Fox developed the theology of Creation Spirituality as a way to integrate the wisdom of western spirituality and global indigenous cultures with the emerging scientific understanding of the universe and the creativity of art. Creation Spirituality has its roots in the earliest formulations of the Judeo-Christian wisdom tradition, celebrated by the mystics of this tradition ever since, especially in medieval Europe. Creation Spirituality thus provides a holistic perspective from which to address the critical issues of our times, including the revitalization of religion and culture, the honoring of the feminine, the celebration of hope, the promotion of social and ecological justice, and the promotion of interfaith understanding. In pursuing these goals, Creation Spirituality has sought to revitalize education, ritual, work and spirituality in the spirit of what Fox calls “deep ecumenism.”

"Wisdom University seeks to build on the curriculum related to Creation Spirituality developed by Fox over the past twenty eight years, as well as the graduate program in “Indigenous Mind” developed by Dr. Apela Colorado, a curator of indigenous traditions worldwide. Wisdom University also intends to deepen its exploration and pedagogy in the wisdom domain by further developing programs in all the major world traditions as well as what philosopher Peter Kingsley calls “primordial wisdom.” '

In summary: a flaky, no credential having diploma mill
