MBM 5701 - Facilitating Mind-Body-Spirit Integration Programs


Mind-Body-Spirit Integration (MBSI) programs are designed to promote balance and integration of the mind, body, and spirit. The specific content and focus of MBSI programs can vary, but they generally involve a combination of different techniques and practices designed to promote mind-body-spirit integration. This may include movement, meditation, mindfulness practices, imagery, expressive activities, breathing exercises, group sharing, and other practices provided in a group setting. 
 
This course covers the essential elements of leading MBSI groups, such as how to design a curriculum and structure sessions, communication and facilitation skills, ethical considerations, and cultural misappropriation concerns. Students will maintain a practice of their choice, lead practices in group sessions, and design their own MBSI curriculum. There will be ongoing discussions of the group process and challenges of group facilitation.
