Attention Training W/ Jessie

Experience Overview

If your focus currently feels like a pinball machine, you are in the right place. Jessie J., CTRS, leads this experiential workshop to explore how our attention actually functions in the real world. What to Expect Instead of a lecture on productivity, we use walking, drawing, listening, and short focus experiments to see what is happening in our brains. We will look at how our environment, movement, and interest levels shift our focus without the usual pressure to perform or concentrate perfectly. Curiosity over Instruction: We learn by doing and reflecting rather than sitting through a slide deck. No Pressure: There is no such thing as "getting it right" here. This is a space to explore focus, distraction, and mental fatigue with a lot of compassion. Practical Experiments: Real world activities that help you understand your own sensory input and interests. The Details Day: Every Friday Time: 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM Come find out how your attention works when you stop fighting it and start noticing it. Participants move through a series of short, guided experiences—walking, drawing, listening, and brief focus experiments—each designed to highlight how attention shifts depending on environment, sensory input, interest, and internal state. The learning emerges through doing, noticing, and reflecting, not instruction. The workshop creates space to explore: What supports focus and what drains it The difference between forced attention and natural attention How movement, sound, and hands-on activity affect concentration Why attention fluctuates—and why that’s not a failure Reflection is woven throughout, helping participants connect their experience to daily life, learning environments, work, leisure, and rest. The goal is not to “fix” attention, but to build awareness, self-trust, and more compassionate ways of working with it. Attention Training is for anyone curious about focus, distraction, creativity, or mental fatigue—and interested in learning through experience rather than instruction.
