==Definitions==

What is mindfulness? Here are some helpful definitions. 

* Mindfulness is a conscious, purposeful way of tuning in to what's happening in and around us. — Deborah Schoeberlein
* Mindfulness is awareness that arises through paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, non-judgementally. — Jon Kabat-Zinn
* ''A definition for kids and teens:'' Paying attention here and now, with kindness and curiosity... so that we can choose our behavior. — Amy Saltzman, MD

==Books==

Primary inspiration for this workshop comes from ''[http://www.wisdompubs.org/book/mindful-teaching-and-teaching-mindfulness Mindful Teaching and Teaching Mindfulness]'' by Deborah Schoeberlein. Billed as a "guide for anyone who teaches anything," it's a wonderful book and highly recommended.

For a broader scope of practices, more focused on higher education, we also recommend [http://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-1118435273,miniSiteCd-JBHIGHERED.html Contemplative Practices in Higher Education].
