Spring 2018: Mindfulness Practices - INST 2500 - 001

This course provides an introduction to mindfulness practices to facilitate coping with stress and greater engagement with life. Mindfulness is bringing intentional non-judgmental awareness to what is happening in the present moment. Derived from the Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program, this course is highly experiential and uses a lab or seminar-like format designed for college students to explore applications of mindfulness in mind-body awareness, mindful eating, verbal and non-verbal communication skills, and stress management.

 

* 1 credit 

 

There are two sections, open to all students from all schools.
