Description

The description of the event.

In this workshop, participants will explore mindfulness and compassion in library work from several points of view: as individuals, as a community of staff, and as a public-serving institution. We will consider how library culture, programming, and space can facilitate selfawareness and connection for both library workers and the public. Participants will be guided through several contemplative practices, ranging from individual explorations to pair and groupbased experiences. We will end our time together with a group exploration of how communityoriented frameworks and theories might fruitfully guide our contemplative efforts.

Outcomes:

  • Become familiar with a variety of practices that center us, help us listen, and build our capacity to hold compassion for self and others.
  • Foster self-awareness, friendship, and high quality connections among participants.
  • Build community across MT libraries.
  • Brainstorm ways to authentically engage community around these issues.
