Faculty Workshops
Presented in collaboration with the Mellon Humanities grant and the Crown Center for Teaching, the C&I blockly workshop series introduces a wide range of creativity exercises suitable for anyone teaching a course at the Colorado College. The workshops take place on the third Thursday of the block in Honnen Arts, Classroom 101. Please RSVP for each workshop you wish to attend so we can provide dietary and accessibility accommodations.

Block 4: Find spaciousness
Thursday Dec. 11 from 12:00—1:30 pm
Give yourself the gift of an hour that you don't fill with work. What kind of spaciousness can you create in this now unplanned hour? What possibilities can you explore that might put you in a positive "place"—physical or metaphorical? How can you stay open to whatever happens in that place? This is not a formal workshop; instead, we see this practice as a radical act of self-compassion, and we hope you take the hour to be creative in ways that bring you joy during this often busy time.
Thursday Feb. 5 from 2:00—3:30 pm
Thursday Mar. 5 from 2:00—3:30 pm

Faculty who have participated in one or more workshops in this year's series are cordially invited to a concluding and celebratory gathering. Over hors d'oeuvres, we will share and reflect on the experiences of applying creativity exercises in courses.
