Our Core Agenda?

“ATTENTION ACTIVISM”

We want to make “ATTENTION ACTIVISM” a rallying point for diverse constituencies with a stake in human wellbeing — and wellbeing beyond the human, too.

We go after that in three ways:

1.    through STUDY — meaning collaborative inquiry that activates authentic, shared experiences of attention conducive to flourishing; this is consciousness-raising through pedagogy;

2.    through ORGANIZING — meaning coalition-building across relevant communities who see the need to push back against the despoiling (commodification, instrumentalization, exploitation) of human attention;

3.    through the creation of SANCTUARY — meaning the cultivation of spaces and times (physical, virtual, fixed, fleeting) that provide shelter and nourishment for attentional capacities.
