This six-week session explores how Paideia (the holistic formation of a person) and Scholé (the practice of restful and contemplative learning) provide a foundation for joyful, high-impact, lifelong learning for leaders. We will learn from the practices of past and present leaders and explore a variety of habits related to nurturing mind, body and spirit. By considering the power of learning in small, intentional groups, each participant will be challenged to devise a personal lifelong learning plan.
Course Objectives:
- Distinguish between modern information gathering and the classical ideals of Paideia and Scholé.
- Analyze the habits and practices of historical and contemporary leaders who prioritize lifelong learning.
- Evaluate specific disciplines and practices for nurturing the mind, body, and spirit within the demands of leadership.
- Design a personalized lifelong learning plan rooted in restful and contemplative study.
