This course explores contemplative exercises to help cultivate focus, presence, and self-regulation—skills that support academic success and ecological literacy. Various meditation practices will be taught that intertwine observations of art and nature with writing, drawing, photography, and videography. Meditative practices include variations of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS). loving-kindness meditations, and Lectio Divina. Projects include weekly written reflections and a final project of an Adobe Express Gallery [webpage] montage.
