Dania Beach, Florida – Since I began the SLS 1211: Holistic Human Development course with Professor Guadalupe, I have noticed a significant improvement in my well-being. It’s not just another subject of the semester, but a space that has allowed me to connect with myself in a way that I hadn’t stopped to explore before. Every week, we learn about well-being theories and exercises, but the most valuable thing has been applying them in my day-to-day life, understanding that well-being extends far beyond the physical: it encompasses mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects as well.
Yesterday, October 28, we went to meditate at Dania Beach, and that experience simply reconnected me with everything. Listening to the waves, breathing deeply and feeling the energy of the place made me realize how important it is to pause. It was a moment of total calm, where I left behind the noise and worries, and I could focus only on being present. Prof. Guadalupe, as always, guided the experience with incredible energy, making us all feel at peace and grateful to be there.
Definitely, this class has helped me see well-being from a more human and complete perspective. She has taught me to take care of myself, not only to perform better, but to live better. I am really grateful for what I have learned and for sharing these experiences that are leaving a mark on me.
