What do we mean by the good life? The good life is the active imagination of a world where all people flourish. The good life is deeply communal – one cannot attain the good life until all others have. The good life involves the whole person in response to God, meaning no part of our living or being is excluded. While we imagine the good life, we also recognize that this work needs to be grounded in reality and must identify and address real barriers to flourishing. What do we mean by the good life?

In this world, many of our students have struggled with lack of control, helplessness, overload, and lack of clarity.
