GBL 208 BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS: MINDFUL AMERICA, MINDFUL ELON
This course is designed to help students explore the history and development of mindfulness in the United States and consider the influence of mindfulness practices on trends in higher education. Travel is centered in Boston, Massachusetts-an important location for mindfulness research and training. Students also participate in a mindfulness retreat at the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in western Massachusetts. Guided by their own experiences and research, students will return to Elon and consider how persuasion and advocacy efforts could be used to create a more “mindful" campus.
