Deep Work in a Burnout Society:
Manifesting Contemplative Focus
Join three active learning sessions to explore undoing unproductive behaviors and mindsets, integrating lessons with a focus on anti-racism and dismantling oppression. Participants will collaboratively generate new approaches for well-being, contemplative immersion, and achieving what truly matters. Don’t miss this transformative journey.
Guided by Tricia Hersey’s Rest is Resistance manifesto, these three-part working sessions navigate the tensions of “being productive” in a distracted world while feeling “burnt out” by sedimented pressures.
Session Three
In session three, we will explore the dopamine addiction that Dr. Anna Lembke describes and the burnt-out experience that writers Amelia Nagoski and Emily Nagoski and Byung Chul Han narrate. This session helps participants frame decisions about professional development that go beyond survival and instead asks larger questions about addiction, wellness, self-care, and community.
