Mindfulness—Work-Life Balance

The beginning of the year is a natural time to turn our intentions and thoughts to recentering ourselves in mind, body, and spirit. Even though we have flexibility in schedules, and summer months to work on research and practice, educators often struggle with work-life balance as much as any other professional—even more so because the school year can be so all-consuming. Tasks, and responsibilities related to teaching, scholarship, and service work can often fill up not only the week but evenings and weekends as well.

In this substantive discussion, we hope you will join us to share your experiences, tools and methods that you may use to reset your work-life balance. We can also discuss the theme of Mindfulness for the 2025 Design Education Summit, and various ways mindfulness can intersect with our pedagogies, scholarship, and creative research.

Come ready to share your ideas, thoughts, what works for you, your questions, and your experiences. We look forward to seeing you!
