We are a group of enthusiastic UW students who organize the Art of Living programs, seminars, workshops and other events to make the UW campus a stress-free, violence-free and joyful place to stay at and come back to!
| All our seminars are based on the ‘art to living’. Traditionally the emphasis in education has been placed on academic achievement, yet the true measure of success in life is health, happiness, enthusiasm and the ability to deal effectively with life’s challenges. Our dynamic teachers are committed to provide young adults and professionals with knowledge and experience in stress management techniques, personal development and community service to open up new dimensions in learning. Besides that, positive and measurable results in students’ learning, testing, self esteem, inter-personal relationships, team work, sense of responsibility and global perspective is fail-safe! |
How do Art of Living programs help youth? This seems to be the most commonly asked question by educators and students themselves. And the answer lies in a skill to handle stress. For adolescents, stress comes in many forms, such as dysfunctional families, peer pressure, depression, violence, drugs, low-income status, poor nutrition, academic pressure, work, and others. We have learned many skills at home and in school, but we have never been taught how to handle negative emotions like anger, sadness, fear, depression etc. If we learn the skill to deal with our mind when these emotions arise, the quality of our lives can change significantly for the better. Through the power of the breath and ancient knowledge of the mind, the Art of Living Programs for Youth teaches us this skill.

One of the greatest inhibitors to learning is stress. “Unmanaged emotional reactions to stress not only lead to behavior problems in young people, but also create physiological conditions that inhibit learning and potentially increase the risk of disease later in life” (McCraty, Atkinson, Tomasino, Goelitz, Mayrovitz 1999). |
