One of my dearest friends, Dennis, shared this video on education and mindfulness/contemplation, entitled "Educating the Heart and Mind Creativity" and featuring the Dalai Lama among others.
The video could be an excellent resource for faculty at Kirkwood upon my return. Clips could be featured in presentations and the entirety could be shown/discussed among a KCELT group.
I think portions of the video might also be of interest to students to 'soften the blow' of a different form of education (i.e., less linear, hierarchical). Panelists explain the importance of creativity, compassion, and reflection in (early childhood) education. [I will share this video link with Melanie N. in case it is of interest!] Without too much complexity, they also begin to explain the trouble with identifying strongly with the "I" or solid thoughts, though this is a difficult thing to explain (rather than experience).
