We are living through a crisis of attention . . . As our mental lives become more fragmented, what is at stake often seems to be nothing less than the question of whether one can maintain a coherent self. I mean a self that is able to act according to settled purposes and ongoing projects, rather than flitting about. Because attention is so fundamental to our mental lives, this widely felt problem presents a rare occasion when an entire society is compelled to ask anew a very old question: What does it mean to be human?” —Matthew B. Crawford, The World Beyond Your Head (Bestselling author of Shop Class as Soulcraft)
Our seminar will be built around three questions:
-What does it mean to flourish as persons made in the image of God?
-What keeps us from flourishing? What keeps our students from flourishing?
-What can we do as educators and mentors to help our students prepare to live well?
Each participant will receive a $500 stipend and copies of all readings, as well as continental breakfast and lunch for each of the three days of the seminar.
THIS SEMINAR IS NOW FULL. WE ARE NO LONGER ACCEPTING RSVP'S.
