Mindful College
Mindful College - Every day spent in college carries an opportunity cost. All too often the traditional college experience is primarily limited to the regurgitation of old and obscure knowledge and the development of outdated and unnecessary skills. Students frequently feel dismayed at the possibility to apply what they have learned to anything meaningful in their lives beyond the ivory tower. Mindful College aims to provide students with ideas, information and strategies to enhance the college experience so that it includes useful knowledge, skills and learning opportunities applicable to everyday life. The primary mission is to develop the whole individual: mind (L/R brains; critical thinking), body (self-care; longevity) and spirit (passion; purpose). A main area of focus of Mindful College is on the development of the right side of the brain where creative capacities, conceptual frames, integrated syntheses and intuitive knowledge are honed. Another focus area is on developing interpersonal communication, mindfulness practice and self transformation skills. As society moves from an information age to a conceptual age these right-brain and self-reflective communication skills prepare students to be adaptable, remain relevant and be resilient in the face of ongoing societal changes. By fully developing useful and flexible skills, and by acquiring applicable and life-relevant knowledge alongside core curriculum learning, students can enhance these years of educational investment. This is where Mindful College fills the gap.
