Workshops on Mindful Tech

David leads workshops that help participants establish a healthier and more effective relationship with their digital devices and apps. Key techniques include:

  • Mindfulness/contemplative practices to strengthen their attention
  • Careful self-observation of their current online habits to discover what is working well and what isn’t
  • Developing personal guidelines based on these discoveries

The length and content of these workshops are tailored to the needs of the host organization.
