CMST 3170 Mindful Living, Mindful Communication


4 semester hours

Current technology allows us to connect with just about anybody with a touch of the finger; however, we often find ourselves unable to engage in genuine, one-on-one communication, which can be characterized as being “mindful.” On the one hand, technology has made us more efficient and productive, but, on the other hand, we find our attention to be scattered and our lives marked by stress and complications. Specifically, in this course there are two overarching goals: 1) students will learn to cultivate mindfulness to become more in tune with what they see, touch, hear, feel, and think, and 2) they will learn how to communicate mindfully by showing respect, compassion, and loving kindness in their relationships.

Junior or senior standing required.

Majors only.

Prerequisites: CMST 1600 , CMST 1700 , and CMST 2800 .
