This project provides faculty with experiential as well as theoretical knowledge about the contributions of contemplative practices to creativity in teaching and scholarship. Participating faculty explore, through a set of disciplinary projects, how to prepare for "moments of true knowledge," the breakthroughs in insight that can come when we are awake. In addition, the faculty read studies of the effects of creative and contemplative practice on thinking and awareness and engage in first-hand experiences of those practices.
