Koru: An Introduction to Mindfulness and Meditation

Status: Open
Meets: Tuesdays 9:30 — 11:00 am
Location: Zoom
Facilitator(s): Mil Witt, Ph.D. & Markera Jones, MS

A Koru (Māori for “loop”) is a spiral-shaped fern frond symbolic of balanced growth and stability. The class, entitled simply “Koru”, offers students an introduction to mindfulness and meditation skills which can be helpful for students who are feeling stressed and pressured, or who just want to get more satisfaction from their college experiences. Participants will learn a variety of mindfulness skills to practice both in and outside of this 4-week class, ideally leading to better management of emotional stress and experiencing healthier lives.

The required text for this introductory class is The Mindful Twenty Something by Holly Rogers, M.D.

College, graduate, & professional students are all welcome!
