Description:
With the increasing stress that we experience daily, mindfulness practices have become popular for us to attend to our well-being and improve our bodily, emotional, and relational awareness. What constitutes a mindfulness experience in secular and nonsecular settings? What can we be mindful of? This studio invites students to explore mindfulness in various aspects of life, including their connection to the breadth, body, emotions, thoughts, nature, surroundings, and other people, and then create meaningful mindfulness experiences for others. Students will work individually or in groups to design and facilitate a mindfulness experience for NYU Shanghai community during the "Mindfulness Week."
