Attention Labs

Attention Lab workshops are collective participatory experiments in the powers of human attention. Through group practices and guided discussions, we seek to understand what attention is, what it can do, and why it's worth protecting.

Upcoming Labs:

Tue, September 15: URBAN SPACE (6:30-9:00pm)
Sat, September 26: JUSTICE (12:30-3:00pm)
Fri, October 2: FASHION (6:30-9:00pm)
Thu, October 8: WORLDBUILDING (6:30-9:00pm)

Each Lab features Practices inspired by a common theme. For example, an ECOLOGY Lab might feature Practices based on the work of Robin Wall Kimmerer, Henry David Thoreau, and Rachel Carson. If you're not interested in, say, ecology, don't sweat it – the real focus of every Lab is, ultimately… ATTENTION!

Unless stated otherwise, all Labs take place in the SoRA Sanctuary at 55 Washington St., Ste. 736 in DUMBO, BK.

Registrants who are added to the waitlist will be notified if a spot opens up.

Four Years of Attention Labs

The first Lab was held at the American Academy of Arts and Letters in March of 2022 (more than a year before the official founding of the School!). Over the past four years, we have facilitated Labs for thousands of people in the United States, Spain, Ireland, England, and Brazil. Our facilitation team leads Labs in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. The Labs earned a shout-out from education leader and social justice visionary Danielle Allen in a speech for the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. To learn more about the Labs:
