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 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 Contemplative Practices in Higher Education.
