Mission: At the Mind & Life Institute, we bridge science and contemplative wisdom together to better understand the mind and foster insight and inspire action to create positive change in the world. At this critical moment in history, it's clear that efforts to address mounting global challenges must take into account our inner lives and how individual well-being contributes to collective flourishing. Through grantmaking, convenings, and strategic partnerships, we seek to foster healthy human connections. We strive to be the primary catalyst, convener, and community builder in integrating scientific inquiry with contemplative practices and wisdom traditions in order to create a world that truly embraces our shared humanity.
