Welcome to Beach Class!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the waves, sand and stones, this morning will be devoted to \u201cattention experiments\u201d along Lake Michigan. Our time together will include a series of facilitated beach combing activities \u2014 inspecting what\u2019s on the beachfront, spending time with lake rocks and other treasures, cleaning up after the flood and more.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After time spent noticing and seeking, we will chat about our experiences, sharing where our attention and curiosity was drawn.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please bring your curiosity, playful spirit and beach-appropriate footwear.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This event is free and open to the public.<\/em> Questions? Email c21@uwm.edu.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
