Naropa University is located in Boulder Colorado. It is a private liberal arts university and was the first in the nation to become a Buddhist inspired accredited institution. The school was founded in 1974 by Chogyam Trunga, a Tibetan Buddhist teacher. These are some of the basic factors Alice presented to her parents when she told them she wanted to complete her graduate studies at this university. Her parents were already aware of this school since they lived in Denver, which wasn’t very far. This idea alone provided them with an almost instant support of their daughter’s interest. However, as with all responsible parents and students, they decided to make a quick trip to the campus before Alice applied.

The family decided to make a complete weekend out of the experience and book a couple of rooms in one of the Boulder hotels. And while they had been to Boulder on several occasions in the past it was always for one particular reason or another and they never really spent time touring or experiencing the city. Their first stop would be the Naropa campus, which Alice immediately fell in love with. Her parents agreed that it was beautiful and had a great atmosphere for an academic institution. The campus alone, however, was not enough of a reason to base one’s graduate studies decision on.

So, they family investigated the programs and were completely interested in the Theatre program. It was an MFA in Contemporary Performance and integrated the physical aspects of performance with various theoretical viewpoints. They were particularly interested in how the traditional contemplative practices were incorporated into the study. Alice, however, was completely interested in the Somatic Counseling Psychology. She wanted to focus on body psychotherapy. Her parents were supportive of this and thought it probably offered a bit more job stability options. They spoke with some of the staff and instructors and Alice left Boulder more sure than ever that she wanted to attend Naropa. She immediately prepared her application and her parents were relieved she would be so near.
