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

Books

Much of the inspiration for this workshop comes from Mindful Teaching and Teaching Mindfulness by Deborah Schoeberlein, billed as a "guide for anyone who teaches anything." Highly recommended.

For a broader scope of practices, more focused on higher education, see also Contemplative Practices in Higher Education.
