About Program

This multi-faceted, THREE PART experiential program allows you to join a community of fellow students who like you are setting aside a season to live into the big questions of the good life. You’ll cultivate friendships based on the deeper things, get perspective on what really matters, connect to the natural world, practice mindfulness, and explore your creative capacities, while completing 3 college courses (one at a time) for 10 credits with award-winning professors who embody the spirit of experiential learning.

Bridge Semester students participate in both our in-person January Term Wintering Writer’s Retreat and our in-person Good Life May Term program. From February-April, Bridge students participate in (and co-create) our dynamic, discussion-based online programming, which includes The Good Life Course plus a Mindfulness Course plus a course on Finding Purpose plus casual hangouts. The cohort will stay connected through the virtual portion until reuniting in Maine in May.

Diversity & Inclusion

BIPOC Support

At Seguinland Institute, we are intentional about creating positive and respectful educational opportunities within a growth-oriented environment. As a student, you can expect an inclusive learning environment that is free from discrimination or favoritism. You are entitled to freedom from physical or verbal harassment of any shape or form. We agree with Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's idea of "the danger of the single story." We thus create a multi-perspective, multi-narrative approach to all discussions.

LGBTQIA+ Support
