HE 405 - Mind/Body Practices (SF)

Credits: 3

Today’s students are tomorrow’s decision-makers, independent of their ultimate careers, it will be their decisions that collectively decide the fate of our planet.  This course explores how the Contemplative Practices of Trauma Sensitive Mindfulness/Meditation and The Therapeutic Yoga’s reduce the body’s “fight, flights and freeze “responses and “rewires” the brain to adaptive resiliency.  This sustainability-focused course is comprised of prescience theory and experiential learning that promotes self-regulation in the areas of attention, body awareness and emotional regulation.  The students will research, develop and implement a semester long, evidence based Contemplative Practice Project with a sustainability focus to foster critical thinking skills and to support healing and transformation.
