Ayse Wiediger, State University of New York College at Buffalo - Buffalo State College

Abstract

This project is the individual exploration and results of integrating mindfulness, motion, and curiosity practices to facilitate a strengthened connection to creativity; enhanced wellness and well-being; and increased opportunities of self-actualization. Expanding upon the research completed as part of an independent study course, this project is the execution of the concepts and principles derived from that work to determine their effectiveness in achieving the above-noted objectives. The results of this project will be used to develop a workshop and will also be incorporated into both a blog and a book.
