The Contemplative Pedagogy initiative, offered by the Centre for Teaching and Learning, includes a variety of workshops, activities, and resources on contemplative pedagogy for Concordians in order to re-energize our teaching and learning community during this time of constant change.
As we emerge from the isolation of remote work and teaching, it is important to focus on restoring and enhancing our well-being in order to re-energize our relationship with teaching and learning. Mindfulness, compassion and contemplative pedagogy offer entry points to starting new practices which support safe, welcoming and healthy learning environments.
Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC), as evidenced in the research of Dr. Kristen Neff and Dr. Christopher Germer, is proven to reduce stress, increase connection to others and strengthen emotional resilience. It also offers the possibility of fostering community and action-based compassionate understanding.
After participating in this program, you will be able to:
Mindful Self-Compassion includes 9 weekly sessions of 3 hours each, including a 4-hour retreat. Participants should plan to practice MSC for at least 30 minutes per day throughout the program.
Program activities include meditation, short talks, experiential exercises and group discussions.
