To earn credit for this course, you must complete the self-paced online modules in full. Each module must be completed in order. You’ll need to finish all coursework and submit all assignments within a module before moving on to the next one.
In addition to the online modules, this course includes a required practicum experience of your own planning and choosing. This experience should be a minimum one-day “staycation” or longer, where you apply the wellness and mindfulness techniques learned in the course. Whether it's a local outing or a weekend trip, the goal is to practice being present, observe your surroundings with intention, and engage with the experience reflectively — through photography, journaling, or other creative means. You’ll reflect on this experience in your final assignment.
