Lifestyle

Day to day life on campus revolves around mindful living. In order to reinforce this mindfulness we have created an intentional community in which we constantly reflect on the importance of every individual to the community.  We have 2 structured meditation sessions every day though we push ourselves to practice meditation and mindfulness in all aspects of daily life.  We have an emphasis on free play and participants have free time each day in which they may play, go for a walk, socialize, or read. We also stay close to our core value of curiosity surrounding the natural world by encouraging self driven education. A typical day on campus might look as follows:

5:45 Wake up
6:00-6:45 Meditation
7:00-8:00 Excercise (Hike, Run, Yoga, Games)
8:00-9:00 Breakfast and chores
9:00-12:00 Classes
12:00-1:00 Lunch
1:00-4:00 Field Class
4:00-5:30 Class
5:30 -6:15 Dinner
6:15-7:00 After dinner nature walk
7:00-9:00 Darma Talk and Meditation
9:30 In bed
