In addition to the academic aspect of the program, students participated in immersive experiences in nature, mindfulness practices and learned to use visuals to capture ideas and facilitate dialog. |

We hosted approximately students for a 10-week program (February through April) on our 60-acre campus in the coastal woodlands of Maine. Students earned 10 college credits (via our agreement with the University of Maine at Farmington) for completing three college courses: The Good Life (4 credits in Philosophy/Religious Studies), The Good Life for All (4 credits in English), and The Creative Life (2 credits). In addition to the academic component, students lived in intentional community, immersed themselves in nature, practiced mindfulness, participated in food-life and creative-arts projects, and used visuals and dialog to deepen connection and understanding. |
