Higher Education
We are an inter-institutional collaborative of faculty, staff, and scholars across the 21 higher eduction institutions in the Western New York region dedicated to enhancing teaching, learning, and wellbeing by infusing the higher education system with mindfulness and empowering our communities through contemplative practices and pedagogies.
The collaborative serves as a Hub to bring contemplatives together across disciplines and institutional boundaries to support one another in our work, to foster collaboration and networking, and to promote the educational efficacy of contemplative practices.
