Since its release 20 years ago, Avatar the Last Air-Bender has become a beloved cultural phenomenon inspiring a sequel series, several graphic novels, a live action movie, and a live action Netflix series.

But is there more we can gain from Avatar than exciting and heartwarming stories? In this class we will explore select elements of Avatar's depiction of the Spirit World as a way to understand real life lessons in animism and how these lessons can inspire our own connections with the spirit world.
