Human Flourishing

Inspired by the transformative work of the Center for Healthy Minds (CHM) at the University of Wisconsin, led by psychologist and neuroscientist Richard Davidson, human flourishing is the development of well-being through cultivating mindfulness, awareness, connection, wisdom, and purpose. Well-being is a skill that can be learned and enhanced through training and practice.

Human Flourishing is an interdisciplinary field, and many at Montclair are already doing work in human flourishing. This series supports like-minded faculty and staff to share their wisdom and expertise so more students can gain from the art and science of Human Flourishing.

The Series

Workshops in the Human Flourishing Series will be offered monthly. Attendance is open to all Montclair faculty and staff. Attend any or all of the workshops in the series. Workshops will be facilitated by Elenice DeSouza Oliveira, with guest speakers from the Center for Healthy Minds at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
