Both students and faculty benefit from classrooms that seek to provide embodied, integrative and holistic educational experiences--experiences that we consider to be fundamentally contemplative. Contemplative classroom practices may include, but aren’t limited to, metacognitive and self-reflective activities and assignments; experiential learning; strategic use of silence; starting or ending classes with meditation or mindfulness practices; putting curiosity at the fore of the educational endeavor; and inviting play, joy and a wide range of emotion into the classroom. 

Workshop goals are to:

*Consider what environment we’d like to create in our classrooms

*Share existing best practices

*Connect with and support like-minded colleagues

*Formulate a contemplative exercise or assignment to bring to a class.

This event is open to CU Boulder Faculty. Space is limited. Registration is required.
