Our model
We work with interdisciplinary collaborators across the University of Melbourne, in the community, and worldwide to develop, deliver, support and promote innovative and authentic contemplative study. Our model is based on a strong research program foundation, which drives our interconnected education and engagement programs:
Research
The Centre fosters truly interdisciplinary, evidence-based research into contemplative practice and methodology. We help evaluate the most effective methods for learning, practicing, and grasping contemplative concepts.
Education
The Centre is dedicated to developing and leading exceptional educational programs that inspire lifelong learning, fostering knowledge for the betterment and flourishing of society as a whole.
Engagement
The Centre offers an outstanding engagement program where we share knowledge, exchange new ideas, and hold discussions. We're a hub for people to come together and talk about traditional, modern, and academic views on contemplative practices. It's a space where our whole community can intersect and learn from each other.
