WELLNESS 102A: Body Mapping: Tracing the Embodied Experiences of Your Life (LIFE 102A)

Body Maps in various forms have been used for thousands of years by people searching for a better understanding of their bodies and their place in the world. This weekend intensive combines self-reflection, artistic expression, and an anthropological lens in order to help you develop a visual ethnographic 'map' of your life. In its basic form, Body Mapping involves drawing one's body outline onto a large paper or canvas and then working with paint, charcoal, markers, pictures, symbols, and words to visually chart the texture, terrain and topography of our embodied experiences. Body Mapping is a pathway to both understanding and sharing our lived stories.

This course fosters inner growth through a specific form of evidence-based meditation called Transcendental Meditation, shown to enhance awareness, creativity, resilience, and balance. Students will also develop key communication, relationship building, and collaboration skills. The course features recent research on holistic human development, neuroscience of performance, and integrative leadership. Its design is based on a training program utilized by thousands of leaders of larger established organizations, venture backed startups, NGO's, and government agencies.
