Programs

At the Southeast Alaska Center for Mindfulness and Ecological Studies we run a number of course each summer as well as facilitate retreats and classes.  We run two, seven week courses every summer focused on our core curriculum of mindfulness, ecology and Alaska Native studies. The schedule of these courses are as follows:

Week 1-2 Expedition 1, Kayaking in the vast fjords of Southeast Alaska exploring the marine, forest and alpine ecosystems as we travel.  During this 2 week expedition we build the course foundations with introductions to mindfulness, ecology, Alaska Native studies and outdoor leadership.



Week 3 On campus intensive study of ecology, and Alaska Native culture with preparation for homestay.



Week 4 Homestay with a Tlingit Native family in a small Alaska Native village.
