Spending time alone in natural places has a long tradition in the human experience. These experiences of silence and solitude have been sources of wisdom, self-awareness, and physical and mental wellbeing as well as served as a rite of passage for some people and cultures. This course will include regular readings followed by solo explorations in local urban parks and green spaces with the goal of having students discover a Listening Point that might serve as a foundation for wellness and a lifetime practice of solo and solitude.
