WELLNESS, THE BODY AND CULTURE

概要

<Lesson Outline> This class is based on an awareness of one's own body (i.e., existence), which is essential for the practice and development of "human beings who live for and with others". Through discussion and experiential learning from various themes related to the body, students will learn the basic knowledge of wellness and embodied wisdom necessary for communication with others and the outside world and for self-expression from multiple perspectives. To reexamine one's lifestyle and body is to question the origins of human beings' quest for healthy and free self-expression, and at the same time to open the door to coexistence with others.
