L.COM 150 - Meditation: Less Technology-More Sense of Self-EI

Credits: 3

In a media-saturated world, this course guides students toward the ability to do deep thinking and learning, which can enhance their relationships with others in both immediate and global contexts. Through the use of meditation and mindfulness practices, students will investigate and develop a philosophy of technology in order to use technology to support their goals and values, which empowers them to design a meaningful life through mindful curiosity and creativity. Such intentionality allows individuals to live well with themselves and others. This is a cell phone and screen-free class unless otherwise noted, and includes 2 nights at a local retreat center. We will be using a meditation cushion everyday throughout the course, including the first day of class. Meditation cushions can be purchased on Amazon or other online stores.
