Special Topics & Reflective Practice
The Power of Nunchi — Discover the Korean art of subtle perception — and how it can transform your work with students.
Inspired by The Power of Nunchi by Euny Hong, this reflective session introduces participants to nunchi (눈치): the Korean practice of reading the room, sensing others’ needs, and building trust through quiet awareness.
We explore how observation, presence, and cultural sensitivity — not just words — shape connection and belonging. Rooted in Korean cultural wisdom yet powerfully applicable in U.S. campus settings, this workshop invites your team to slow down, notice more, and lead with empathy.
Belonging doesn’t happen by accident. It’s built.
