"Naropa Institute is based on a view of education that demands both discipline and openness in their more profound sense. Inspired by a buddhist approach to education--one that combines meditation with intellectual and artistic study--the Institute seeks to stimulate the wisdom and understanding we inherently possess and to bring out its clear and precise expression. Classes at the Institute are based solidly within eastern and western traditions of dance, poetry, theater, visual arts, psychology, philosophy and science. Interdisciplinary boundaries are clear but open so that traditions may interact through the personal inspiration of students and faculty"--From page 4.
