The course will include:

The course will explore historic and contemporary Native Hawaiian issues through a stay at Aha Punana Leo Hawaii immersion school in Keaau and visits with Hawaiian elders and leaders in the Hawaiian sovereignty movement.

Students will also learn leadership and group dynamics through adventure sport (adventure sport could include surfing, stand up paddling, ocean kayaking, snorkeling, sailing, traditional Hawaiian navigation/voyaging canoe, and more) and by involving student teams in daily leadership and decision-making.

Participants will camp and cook their own meals, with a focus on cooking with local foods and tropical staples like taro and breadfruit.

Global Good News comment:

A core principle of Maharishi University of Management's commitment to sustainability is described on the website for the MUM Sustainable Living degree program, regarding its focus on developing inner sustainability: ''We believe that developing sustainable businesses, societies, and communities is dependent upon those entities being comprised of highly developed individuals. . . . Sustainability is about creating a thriving world in which we lead rich, productive, and fulfilling lives—without depleting the environment or ourselves. To meet our responsibility to current and future generations, we must connect with our own inner nature. MUM's Consciousness-Based education and Transcendental Meditation technique expand your awareness and help you realign to act in harmony with nature.''
