Arts and Mindfulness Education for Human Flourishing

“One of the many strengths of this edited volume is the diversity of perspectives and methodologies that are provided. The editors intentionally created dialogue between humanistic and scientific traditions throughout the book. Insights from quantitative and qualitative approaches are honored throughout the chapters, with some chapters even including poetry and the authors’ lived experiences alongside findings from recent peer-reviewed research. […] Overall, the edited volume provides an insightful, interdisciplinary lens for scholars and practitioners who are interested in beginning or expanding their work on using the arts and contemplative practices to support the well-being of students in their educational context.” Sarah E.
