I will be offering contemplative practices during the two-day Flourishing Summit: "A Call to Rethink Education in Light of COVID-19 Pandemic” created in collaboration with Harvard’s Human Flourishing Program, Notre Dame of Maryland University, and St. Louis University.

The summit will address the current pandemic and the value of fostering resilience and flourishing in ways consistent with the phrase that students “can’t Bloom until they Maslow.”                                                                                                            

This summit aims to bring together an interdisciplinary group of researchers, administrators, practitioners, and thought-leaders in education, with parents and students, to exchange ideas on how to promote and support human flourishing in schools and communities.

Topics for the event include:

• Teaching and Learning for Flourishing

• Race and Flourishing in Education

• Measurement and Evaluation of Flourishing in Schools

Keynote speakers will include Kwame Adams, Graduate 2020, Harvard Graduate School of Education and Matthew T. Lee, Human Flourishing Program, Harvard University.
