The Fall 2025 application is open for the Meditation Leadership Practicum (Service Learning 298)!

No previous experience required.

This 1-credit, student-led, service-learning Practicum cultivates the skills, confidence, and experience needed to become meditation facilitators on campus. Through presentations, discussion, guided meditations, experiential exercises, readings, reflections, and personal practice, the aim is to strengthen personal relationships, contribute to a contemplative campus culture, and ultimately benefit our broader society. Courage, creativity and authenticity in service to community is a significant frame in conjunction with social justice and trauma-informed approaches.
