Welcome to the PSU senior capstone, Restorative Gardening, Mindfulness, and Nature Connection, held at the Learning Gardens Lab (LGL), an educational farm in SE Portland. This capstone centers around the Mindfulness Sanctuary at LGL where students will engage in garden experiences to promote a sense of peace, belonging and connection with the living world.
Throughout the term, students will explore regenerative land stewardship topics through readings, discussion and hands-on activities. Students will also explore mindfulness practices as a community during class and through a “nature connection sit spot” at home. Finally, in partnership with LGL, students will design a hands-on “peace-making” project using natural cycles and patterns in the Mindfulness Sanctuary.
