Simone Weil: How to Master Focus & Attention Course by Historic Mentor
Drawing from Simone Weil’s philosophical writings, teaching experience, factory labor, and religious reflections, this course explores attention as the foundation of intellectual rigor, compassion, prayer, and freedom. Learners are guided toward a practice of seeing without distortion, desiring without grasping, and thinking without ego — a way of being that resists distraction and prepares the soul for grace.
