Last summer, I worked as a Research Assistant to Edward DeMore, a board member for the Institute for Global Leadership, on an incredible project aiming to create a course about how neuroscience and meditation can help to achieve flow in life. The team consisted of four members, including Dr. Lynne Bentley-Kemp, an undergraduate student, and me, a Fletcher student. The process of creating the course started with comprehensive research for the syllabus that I synthesized into a working document.
This project was intellectually stimulating. We were engaged in discussions on spirituality, meditation, brain science, values, stress, motivations, personal development, vulnerability and the definition of flow. All these concepts had to be successfully woven into a course that would have substance and be of long-term value for the enrolled students.
