What We Do
Community
We support the contemplative journeys of our members by listening to their needs and fostering their personal, creative and professional aspirations, while catalysing collaborative projects.
Transformation
We are committed to nurturing contemplative cultures – compassionate, collaborative and purposeful – across academia, science, education, and society.
Integration
We practice together with a focus on participatory methods and explore how contemplative practices, lived experience, and scientific research can inform and enrich one another.
How We Do It
Regular Newsletter
We keep our community members updated on key events, opportunities, and developments in contemplative research and integrative approaches to science, as well as retreats, communities and spaces for practice. We highlight the creative work, offerings and requests of our members.

Community Events
We curate, organise and co-facilitate regular online gatherings and events for our members and newcomers to connect, practice, exchange, and collaborate. We also catalyse and support self-organised member activities.

Community Space
We are developing a shared space on the Hylo platform to foster peer-to-peer exchange, bottom-up activities, and mutual support among our members. This space also acts as a central repository of knowledge, experience, and resources, and as a backbone for the ongoing co-creation and implementation of our initiatives.

Co-creation Process & Work-out Groups
In 2023, we began a collaborative co-creation journey with our members. Together we designed a detailed survey to understand their needs, aspirations and priorities. After analysing and sharing the results, we established “work-out” groups to turn emerging ideas into actionable plans based on what we learned from our community.

Support to Kindred Organisations
Since 2025, we have been facilitating and catalysing bottom-up initiatives at the European Summer Research Institute (ESRI), curated and organised by Mind & Life Europe (MLE).
