Episode 1: STUDY
Dive into the intriguing realm of Attention Activism and explore the pressing issue of attention commodification. Discover the three foundational pillars of the movement—study, sanctuary, and coalition—designed to offer systemic solutions. Engage in a guided attention practice that distinguishes awareness from mere focus. Challenge conventional definitions of attention, linking it to deeper concepts like care and love. Reflect on Henry James' metaphor of the 'empty cup' to ponder how you would fill your attention.
