Reflect & Recharge: Guided Journaling for Wellbeing
Join me for a short calming and reflective journaling session designed to help you reconnect and recharge. Through thoughtfully written prompts and individual quiet reflection time, we’ll journal about gratitude, self-love, loving-kindness and wellbeing. Whether you’re a long-tome journaler or just getting started, this space invites you to slow down, tune in and leave feeling lighter, clearer and more connected. Bring a notebook, an open heart and come just as you are.
Organizing Hybrid Events that Practice Intentionally Equitable Hospitality
In this session, we will offer some principles of designing hybrid events in ways that are intentionally equitable and also engaging for both online and in-person participants. The session builds on the IEH praxis of Virtually connecting (which was hybrid). Participants will have opportunities to reflect on the best and worst hybrid experiences they have had, and reimagine a particular upcoming event as intentionally equitable hybrid.
Pause & Breathe: 10 Minute Guided Meditation
In the middle of busy days, even a few moments of stillness can make a big difference. This recurring 10 minute guided meditation offers a space to pause, breathe, be mindful and gently reconnect with yourself. Whether you are new to meditation, looking to build a steady practice or long-time meditator, you’ll be guided through a calming experience designed to reduce stress and help enhance your presence. Come as you are – no prior experience needed, just a willingness to slow down and be.
Emerging Scholar Showcase
These sessions will be thematic and bring together 2-3 emerging scholars (i.e. somewhere between proposal stage of a PhD and recently completed it) to share their research in 10 minutes, followed by a discussion that is focused on questions the scholars themselves pose for the audience (e.g. requesting feedback, etc.)
Our Collaborative Autoethnography Journey: A Praxis of Emergence and Intentional Adaptation at Equity Unbound
This session shares our journey of writing a book chapter (under review) entitled: A Praxis of Emergence and Intentional Adaptation at Equity Unbound. We will share our full autoethnographic narratives ahead of time, and during the session share excerpts from them and share with participants key insights we gained from our writing. We will then invite participants to share with us how they think IEH may transfer to other contexts, and the challenges they have faced or expect to face when trying to apply it in different communities.
