Think on These Things Program

An inquiry-based program for high school and college students, with the goal of creating a space and well being to help function as whole in society.

Think on These Things is one of the outreach programs of the Inspiring Minds Educational Program, aimed toward young adults in high schools and universities. The purpose of this program is to extend fundamental questions and to bring about the space necessary for a deeper self-inquiry and self-understanding. Think on These Things is discussion-based. We explore challenging questions have discussions so others can participate, questions we ask are meant to challenge the deeply held assumptions we have about ourselves and about our life. For example, “What would it take for me to not compare myself to anyone?” or, “Would it be try understand myself and this modern busy world and still live in peace and harmony with compassion towards others and live a meaningful life?

Part of our shared humanness is our ability to observe. Yet, observation can become instantly clouded amidst our attempts to self-analyze, label and solve whichever internal problem we are experiencing. Think on These Things is a direct invitation for us to simply look and observe one and one another. When one is presented with a question they may not have considered before—a question that has the potential to radically challenge the very perspective from which they begin to think—a different kind of inquiry and learning is possible. Our intent is to ask questions that can bring about the space for this learning.

We visit students in local high schools and universities. We welcome all and any support to help us reach as many classrooms as we can. If you know (or are) a professor who might be interested in or if you have any questions about the program do not hesitate to contact us.
