Section Info:
Stress Management and Resilience – A Self-Knowledge and Meditation Approach This honors course provides students with both theoretical foundations and practical applications of self-knowledge and self-awareness. Students will explore multiple dimensions of self-knowledge—including physical, social, psychological, and spiritual perspectives—through an integration of scholarly study and experiential practice. Each week, one class session will focus on didactic learning, introducing key psychological theories, research, and principles. The other session will center on guided experiential practices, including mind relaxation, deep breathing, slow meditative movements, visualization, and heart concentration. Together, these approaches support both intellectual understanding and personal development, with an emphasis on building resilience, cultivating awareness, and fostering holistic growth.
