Many of us have a deep stake or interest in education and pedagogy- be it as students, mentors, teachers, researchers, or any number of other roles. For those of us in Dharma at a Distance with this interest, we might ask: how does all this relate to the dharma? This page will house information about our meetings and discussions on this topic. So far we have held a 'Breakfast/Tea on Mindfulness in the Classroom' and created a channel on Slack. But who knows what the future holds.... (workshops? meetings? role-playing classrooms and lesson plans?)
If you're interested in attending, keep an eye out for announcements on the mailing list, posts on the calendar, and the #mindfulclassrooms Slack channel! Also, please feel welcome to host your own event on this topic and advertise it in all the above ways!
We met and shared our different connections to the subject of mindfulness in classrooms, then opened things up to discussion. Here are some notes from the meeting (if you were there, please feel free to adjust or add anything missed or misrepresented!)
