by

Introduction to Mindfulness: CSPLZ Winter Session
0.50 credit
January 10 – 23, 2023

During this course, students will be introduced to various techniques of mindfulness practice and awareness, including sitting meditation and yoga. These modalities are designed to aid in stress and anxiety reduction and, when practiced diligently, may also offer opportunities for greater self-awareness and personal development. The goal is to give students not only a peer community but also a contemplative and metacognative toolbox that is portable, replicable, and sustainable. Students will gain an understanding of the roles these practices can play in leading a happier, healthier, and more fulfilling life.

  • An opportunity to learn mindfulness techniques like yoga and meditation in a peer community setting 
  • Experiential learning in a retreat-style environment
  • An opportunity to develop a contemplative and metacognitive toolbox that is portable, replicable, and sustainable. 
  • Students will gain an understanding of the role mindfulness can play in leading a happier, healthier, and more fulfilling life.
