The Association for Contemplative Mind in Higher Education is an initiative of the Center for Contemplative Mind in Society.

Promoting the emergence of a broad culture of contemplation in the academy by connecting a network of leading institutions and academics committed to the recovery and development of the contemplative dimension of teaching, learning and knowing, the Association serves members by:

• Stimulating scholarship and research concerning contemplative pedagogy, methodology and epistemology within and across disciplines;
• Sponsoring forums for the presentation of research and exchange of ideas through webinars, regional and national meetings and an annual conference;
• Supporting the development of courses and curricula through one-week residential summer sessions;
• Supporting the deepening of contemplative teaching through retreats for academics offering a variety of traditional and secular practices;
• Distributing scholarly work and general information relating to the field of contemplative education online, including a quarterly e-newsletter;
• Providing online resources for members to participate in discussion forums and share profiles, publications, papers, and syllabi.
