Contemplative Environmental Studies: Pedagogy for Self and Planet

July 1st through July 7th

Cost: $850

This workshop is open to university professors and others concerned with environmental education.

How can higher education best address global environmental challenges? This workshop, offered in conjunction with the Association for Contemplative Mind in Higher Education, explores the role of contemplative practices in scholarly inquiry and teaching at the college and university level. Through discussions with distinguished scholars, focused conversations among colleagues, artistic exercises, and regular contemplative practice, participants will collectively fashion the emerging discipline of Contemplative Environmental Studies into a pedagogical tool capable of assisting humanity in addressing environmental dilemmas. Part workshop and part retreat, this
6-day summer institute seeks to widen our inner resources and capabilities as teachers committed to education on a fragile and wild planet.
