The Residency

Low residency BA in Health Arts and Sciences students begin each semester with an eight-day intensive residency on the Goddard campus. Each residency functions as a supportive and expansive face-to-face social environment whose purpose is to define and support the work of the semester. BA students work with their faculty advisor, network with other students, attend workshops that address degree requirements, develop academic skills, and explore a range of health arts and sciences issues and practices.

Keynote presentations offered during residencies investigate the cultural and/or ecological context of healing, including: “Embracing an Ethic of Care,” “Healing as if the Earth Mattered,” and “Healing with the Natural and Sacred World.” The residency also provides a place to share hidden aspirations within a positive learning climate where “we can think the world together.”
