Invitation to a New UF Course: Multicultural Mindfulness


If you are interested in multiculturalism and/or mindfulness, this special topics course may be for you!

 

There are limited seats in this course,  If you would like to register, or if you have questions, now is a good time to contact emi.lenes@ufl.edu.

 

The class will be experiential, interactive and will involve meaningful contributions. Culturally diverse community role models and emerging leaders will be sharing powerful perspectives regarding the intersectionality of visible and invisible identities (e.g., race, ethnicity, sexual/affectional orientation, gender, socioeconomic status, ability, spirituality, religion, citizenship, age). 

 

Multicultural mistakes are common, and are also found in helping professions, where benevolent people are intending to be of service. Mindfulness practices may help with emotional intelligence, self-regulation, awareness of oneself and others, empathy, compassion, and relationship repair. 

 

Together, we can mindfully explore how we can be more conscious on individual and collective levels. Mindfulness can be applied personally and professionally, and can help us grow in our interpersonal and intrapersonal awareness, knowledge and skills.
