This two part, 90 minutes each, webinars series will introduce participants
to some of the central insights of the work Levy has been doing over the
past decade and more. By learning to pay attention to their immediate
experience (what’s going on in their minds and bodies) while they’re
online, people are able to see more clearly what’s working well for them
and what isn’t, and based on these observations to develop personal
guidelines that allow them to operate more effectively and healthfully.
Levy will demonstrate this work by giving participants exercises they can
do, both during the online program and between the sessions.

digital devices and apps. He has given many lectures and workshops on this
topic, and in January 2016 published a book on the subject, “Mindful Tech:
How to Bring Balance to Our Digital Lives” (Yale). Levy is also the author
