Everyday Awe | Contemplative pedagogy faculty interest group 

Start the year by exploring awe: what it is, how we & others experience it, how it intersects with contemplative pedagogy and contemplative practices more generally. Participants will be invited to bring and share images, words or objects that point to their own experiences of awe and wonder (more details to follow!).

This session is a collaboration between  MfSC and the CTL as part of the Contemplative Pedagogy Faculty Interest Group (CP FIG). 

Audience: Faculty, teaching staff, and graduate students with teaching roles. 

Contemplative Pedagogy Faculty Interest Group

Supports faculty and teaching staff in applying or improving their application of contemplative practices in their classroom to promote well-being and a compassionate classroom, to further course goals, and to support learning.

This interest group is for faculty or teaching staff who wish to:

• Intentionally adopt culturally-appropriate contemplative practices in teaching and learning using a trauma-sensitive lens;
• Explore the work of contemplative pedagogy scholars who report on the impact of evidence-based contemplative practices on students and faculty;
• Learn from their peers; and
• Re-energize their relationship with teaching and learning.

Note: By registering for this session, you will be added to all upcoming faculty interest group sessions. You will receive Outlook invitations for each meeting, which you may choose to accept or decline based on your interest or availability.
