Mindfulness and the Self: How Contemplative Practice Can Help Self-Understanding - Contemplative Pedagogy Group Meeting

In this gathering, Richard Liu (Psychological and Brain Sciences) will share his experience designing and teaching a course on the psychology of the self, which explored how we construct our sense of self and how that construction evolves. Mindfulness meditation was integrated into the course from the beginning. Join us to hear how Dr. Liu used mindfulness meditation to aid students in their journey of self-observation, self-understanding, and self-improvement. Together, we will discuss how it feels to start using contemplative pedagogy in our classes and share ideas for introducing meditative practices in the classroom. Facilitated by Brian Baldi (CTL). For more information, visit the Contemplative Pedagogy Group page. For the event link, email Brian Baldi at @email. No registration needed, all are welcome.
