This course is designed to provide a holistic approach to health and peace that will include weekly practical goals that will be accomplished as a group. Explore interesting health-related practices from different cultures such as Shinrin yoku from Japan. Integrate important scientific Nobel-prize winning concepts such as autophagy into your daily life. Explore simple but delicious Turkish recipes for a healthy gut and satisfying meals! Most importantly create a simple individual plan that fits your life to incorporate all these wonderful concepts into your daily routine. We incorporate all the ideas in a meaningful way by reflecting on each practice. These reflections will be in the form of short, free writing tasks. As a group, we will share/discuss our reflections in a relaxed, safe environment where all ideas are welcome.
