Session Description
Thanatology is the scientific study of death, dying, and associated processes. Encompassing the examination of the psychological, social, spiritual, and cultural aspects of death and the biological processes of dying and bereavement, a contemplative approach to thanatology integrates these knowledges and practices into learning, teaching, and care. Thanatologists often work in fields such as medicine, psychology, sociology, and counseling to help individuals and communities navigate the complexities of loss and grief. By exploring attitudes toward death and developing effective coping mechanisms, thanatology aims to improve end-of-life care and support for the dying and their loved ones.
Join us to explore your interest in understanding the principles and practices of contemplative care and what is happening in the specialization!
All are welcome.

Session Description
This session provides an introduction to TSC 6400 Ethics for Transformative Social Change: Thinking Like a Global Citizen. The practice of ethics involves the exploration and evaluation of different values and assumptions that support alternative courses of action. This course approaches these differences from a global civic perspective that is grounded in our common humanity and recognizes our many social differences. We will practice “thinking like a global citizen” in an evaluation of the merits of a capabilities approach to human development, comparing a property-based economy with a civic-based economic vision. We will also critically examine a number of practices that address challenges that are of particular interest to participants in the course, which might include immigration, complicity in the violation of human rights, the protection of the commons, and alternative views of global finance. In these examinations, we will explore and generate potential designs for a sustainable and just framework for transformative actions on the local, regional, national, and international level. A primary goal of the course is for students to be able develop a global civic ethic that is sufficiently rigorous to face ongoing resistance to social change and flexible enough to enable relevant and effective actions to address the multiple dimensions of our global civic life.

This session provides an introduction to TSC6500 Ecological Psychology. Students of sustainability, social transformation, organizational leadership, psychotherapy, consciousness, and spirituality may benefit from developing an ecopsychological perspective. The course should serve all students concerned with how humans created the current environmental crisis and how to resolve it. The course should also be helpful to clinicians whose clients are physically and emotionally harmed by their absence of connection to their life supporting habitats, and whose behavior toward the environment adds to human suffering and to business managers intending to become more effective green leaders. Finally, the course should be useful for advocates for animals, for wildlife, environmental preservation and low impact lifestyles and local community productivity by introducing key concepts about human nature and the human capacity to influence the environmental crisis.

This discussion will explore the question of what is the awakened mind and how are we to fully sustain a practice of awakening? For some, awakening is a numinous experience. Such experience can be powerful and pregnant with meaning, yet life-long meaning often requires practices for further living in a state of becoming. We will explore some of these practices.

This session will delve into the intersections of Terror Management Theory (TMT) and contemplative end-of-life work, providing an overview of how existential fear influences human behavior and how contemplative practices can offer solace and meaning in the face of mortality. Participants will be introduced to Terror Management Theory to understand the core principles of TMT, including how awareness of mortality impacts psychological well-being and behavior, including behavior and society, by examining how fear of death shapes cultural norms, personal values, and societal structures. We will explore Contemplative Practices and various contemplative approaches such as mindfulness, meditation, and spiritual practices that may inform coping with death anxiety. Finally, we will examine the application in End-of-Life Care and how TMT can inform compassionate care strategies, enhancing the emotional and psychological support provided to individuals turning toward their end-of-life.

Session Description
How might we wake up to the opportunity of each minute, each hour, that we have on this earth? We will play with opening up the recognizable 'character' of linear experience—what is it like to contact and flow with a moving clarity that is an open field of light? There's a possibility of staying in an unfinished, open, and continuing space of feeling, allowing it to expand. We will also explore how, as Stephen La Berge observes, dreaming consciousness is waking consciousness without sensory constraints.

Session Description
This seminar will be an opportunity to learn with activist scholars addressing issues of healing, activism and democratic change. The first day of this seminar will focus on learning from activist scholars in relation to healing practices and reclaiming power, including responses to historical trauma, the need for prioritizing self-preservation, and collective care from an intersectional lens. In the second day of the seminar, we will explore tools for overcoming political polarization. In addition, participants will have the opportunity to practice restorative circles in relationship to facing the unknown in the upcoming election.
