“What we’re really doing, is asking people, across all different areas of society, culture, class, gender, age – to make a commitment to maintaining their humanity in the midst of ever-encroaching mechanical technologies that might otherwise distract us into automation and ambivalence.”
DIGITAL MINDFULNESS is an emerging field of inquiry and practice that integrates our technology habits with our contemplative practice.
It means using mindfulness practice as a tool to personally establish a more balanced relationship with digital devices.
Living in a fast-paced, highly connected digital society has powerful impacts on human development, interactions, and individual well-being.
We believe that promoting mindful behavior in these digital spheres can have positive affects on the health and well-being of both individuals and the societies that we live in. There is an art to living in a digital world, where we can stay connected and inspired, yet remain balanced, mindful, and present in our lives.
Digital Mindfulness:
Explores important components of mindful behavior, awareness, and engaging communications.
The slowing down and pausing long enough to assess our relationship with technology. With presence comes awareness and insight into our relationship with technology with the technology and how it affects our lives.
Explores digital tools, how they are used, and encourage us to develop intentions. It proposed innovation in the digital world to create more opportunities to live online, and offline, in balanced and meaningful ways.
Reshapes the conversation in our homes, schools, and communities about what it means to be a digital citizen in today's rapidly changing technological world and why that is vitally important. ~ Co-founder, Sherri Henderson
