Mindfulness Living-Learning Community
An intentional space to explore mindfulness practices and build a meaningful, purposeful way of living.
The Mindful Living Learning Community is an intentional living space in Residential Hall A and a program for students who want to experience the practices and benefits of mindfulness while discovering what it means to live as a mindful citizen in the world.
Students in this community will develop habits that cultivate joy, peace, rest, and equanimity, while caring for their emotional well-being. Through hands-on mindfulness experiences, they will build a life of purpose and deepen their understanding, insight, and compassion. Students will also become active, engaged members of society, learning to create positive change through mindful living.
