This unit explores the concept of peace of mind and how cultivating inner peace can contribute to outer peace and security. We examine processes of fragmentation of self and self, self and other, and self and the Earth and how these can be transformed. Students will engage in experiential learning about transformative processes such as presencing, deep listening, embodiment and resonance drawing on Indigenous knowledges, phenomenological awareness based practices, conscious agency and creativity. We consider how peace of mind can be affected by individual and collective cultural trauma, and critically analyse approaches to healing and resilience as contributions to inner and outer peace.
