"Are we becoming more fully alive through Education?" After a decade of conventionally successful research and university teaching, Matthew T. Lee, Ph.D., found himself meditating upon this question. This led him to design Unclasses. He met the students downtown instead of in a classroom. Each class would begin with a heart check-in (and sometimes haikus!). Open space was carved for silence, contemplation, and even rest. As he changed the context, shifts in content naturally followed. His intense course "Conflict and Justice" at Harvard University expanded to "Conflict, Justice and Healing". A sociologist and former criminologist, Matt is one of the leading experts in interdisciplinary research on human flourishing, i.e. factors that enhance our holistic well-being. He has also researched and written extensively on designing systems (education, business, etc.) for flourishing that honor the sacred truth of our interconnection.
