This is an opportunity to name 36 songs that remind you of your values, your religious ideas, or other aspects about the way you find meaning in the world. In other words, this is Playlist Spirituality. Copy the list below and paste in your own document or the comments below and fill in the titles and artists for songs that remind you of each category. Don't worry about whether the title communicates why you chose the song. The important thing is whether the song is personally meaningful to you. Comments about why you chose the song are optional and welcome.
This 36-question version is a long survey that's just for fun. As discussed in class, the take-home activity for Coming of Age is much shorter. For CoA, pick six songs that communicate your spirituality. The songs can be in any style. They don't even have to have words. The songs should remind you of some of the questions we discuss in CoA: What happens after we die? What does it mean to live an ethical life? Why do people gather in community? What is holy or sacred? If you send Becky (click here to email) your 6-song playlist before May 6, we will try our very best to put all the songs chosen by the youth on mix CDs, which we will listen to on the car ride to the retreat on May 15.
Enjoy the survey!
