This experiential session will support instructors who would like to begin to use contemplative practices in their classrooms but are unsure where to start or are unaware of the vast range of practices other than meditation. We will begin exploring the Tree of Contemplative Practices developed by The Center for Contemplative Mind in Society. I will then share a range of concrete examples from my own teaching. Participants will then spend a portion of time identifying a goal for their own students and develop a contemplative practice to support that goal. A list of resources will also be shared.
Note: The session is open to faculty and teaching staff from any discipline interested in applying contemplative practices to any classroom setting.
