It's no secret that many teachers in higher education feel disengaged (McClure and Fryar, 2022) and burnt out (Lederman, 2022). As we re:imagine, re:connect and re:start, this workshop takes a transpersonal approach to faculty restoration by using intention, mindfulness, and compassion to align our actions to values, meet our own needs, interrogate beliefs, and hold boundaries. Using mindfulness-based practices and guided reflection, participants will re-envision how life in higher education can look and feel. We will open our awareness to new possibilities that be difficult to see in a state of limited self-conception (Friedman, 2013).
