Excellent! Thank you, Cheryl for covering so many important themes with clarity and the degree of depth the limited time would allow. The interprofessional courses you are teaching sound worthwhile on so many levels. I’m going to work at identifying my top ten tunes and also want to learn more about the contemplative art practices you mentioned. I hope you and your colleagues continue to get the support you need to keep these course/programs/research efforts going.
