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].

Other resources
A newsletter on the intersection of contemplation and technology: [|Tech Mindful]
