This course will provide a light academic load and tools critical to understanding Supportive Immersion Institute's definition of wellness as "the actions and choices that contribute to a lifestyle of dynamic balance on all dimensions of healthy living." More than getting away from life's challenges and relaxing, it's about engaging life in a way that leads to thriving in all its facets. We use research on young adult development to define nine dimensions of healthy living and guide participants in developing a lifestyle of balance in all those dimensions, which ultimately leads to true wellness. Suppose you want to enroll in more courses such as Spanish language learning, muralism, physical therapy, permaculture, marine biology, etc. You can explore the Veritas curricula on COURSES in that case through the website. On the other hand, if you want to immerse in a Wellness Gap program entirely, you can explore the SI GAP Wellness Experience website and decide if you will take the light academic load and engage in the Gap experience. You will still take the Sustainable Lifestyles course in either program. The course involves field activities, coaching sessions, and lots of self-discovery—link to the short course description.
