MBM 5517 - Mindful Approaches to Grief and Loss

Contemplative approaches to grief and loss support individuals in navigating the deep territory of loss, grief and the bereaved. According to Barbezat and Bush (2014), "contemplative pedagogy empowers students to integrate their own experience into the theoretical material they are being taught in order to cultivate and develop attention, deepen their understanding, foster greater connection to and compassion for others, and engender engaged inquiry into their most profound questions." (Retrieved from https://www.contemplativemind.org/book)

In this course, students examine and integrate elements of several theoretical models of grief, as well as explore how contemplative approaches can enhance both the one who is serving and being served when providing and receiving mindful grief support. Prerequisite(s): None 3 credit(s)
Offered: Spring A/B.
