CMind

We are building a movement: connecting educational environments where contemplative practices support new insights, deepen our learning, and open up new possibilities. Diverse contemplative practices such as dialogue, drumming, reflective writing, and sitting in silence can complement critical analysis; support our responses to the tragedies of racism, conflict, and violence so prevalent in higher education and society today; and bring about revolutionary transformation for our world.  

Contemplative practices inspire and sustain our engagement in the struggle for social justice. As we look inside ourselves and open ourselves to deeper connections with each other, we come to better understand and know each other's suffering. We can more clearly see how a legacy of historical injustices and inequities shapes each of our lives, as well as our institutions and our society as a whole. With the support of contemplative practices, we can find courage to face these challenges, inspiration to act with compassion, wisdom to confront injustice, and resilience to work for lasting change.

We celebrate the fact that every day, the faculty, staff, and students in our network choose to foster these capacities through contemplative methods. Your ongoing support allows this work to develop and grow.

CMind is a non-profit organization leading efforts to integrate contemplative practices and higher education. Our programs connect an international community of educators who collectively support many thousands of students—and with your help, we can do even more.
