In this workshop, students learn the aims of clear and careful thinking, the essential elements and benefits of clear thinking and careful thinking, and how to think clearly and carefully.

This workshop teaches students the definitions of analytical thinking and critical thinking (so important these days, when almost anything is given the label 'critical thinking'), their importance, the relationship between these two forms of thought, how to think analytically and critically, and the benefits of thinking in these ways.

Preliminary to all effective and productive thought is getting out of one's head and opening one's mind, so that one may think about what actually is, rather than what one imagines is.

This workshop provides students with definitions of both closed-mindedness and open-mindedness, an outline of the natural barriers that tend to prevent us from opening our minds, the four elements of an open mind, methods for cultivating these four elements, and practice exercises in both testing how open our minds are, and seeing how far we can open them.

Insight is the mysterious process by which our unconscious generates both solutions to mysteries and problems, and deeper understanding of our reality.

In this workshop, students learn about the faculty of insight and the insights that it generates, the various types and sources of insights, the benefits of insights, and techniques and practices for encouraging insight-generation within our minds.
