Tuning the Student Mind: An Imaginative and Innovative Curriculum Focused on Consciousness, Creativity and Identity

By Alex Silverman

In this 26-minute documentary from Director Chelsea Richer, a teacher offers a first-of-its-kind course that brings out the creativity, imagination, and inner potential of her students. Molly Beauregard is a teacher at the College of Creative Studies in Detroit, Michigan. It is here where she teaches this new radical course on consciousness and creative bliss enabling her students to expand their minds and life skills. In Beauregard’s class, her students learn about meditation, wellness, and a sound body and mind. Ms. Beauregard and her fellow staff at CCS believe that this helps a person’s creativity thrive.

This is a very informative and well-put-together short documentary. It offers a great deep dive into what these educators are doing, the teacher’s methodology, and what results have come out of it. This film can serve as a prototype for other teachers in other schools to take a new approach to unlock their student’s creativity. It is a new style of learning everyone should try, be it as a student in college or someone who is trying to learn on their own. I give this film 5 stars.
