Mission
Cultivate and sustain lifestyles and learning environments that foster human and planetary well-being through mindful and spiritual practices that embrace our connections with nature.
Vision
Advance the science and practice of mindful living in harmony with nature through formal and experiential learning.
Research
In alignment with our mission to promote human and planetary well-being, research serves as a foundation for understanding how mindfulness can transform lives and communities. By advancing the science of mindful living, we investigate the physiological, psychological, and ecological benefits of practices that deepen our connection to ourselves, others, and the natural world.
Student
Engagement
Student engagement is at the heart of cultivating mindful learning environments. Through experiential opportunities that prioritize presence, compassion, and interconnection, students are empowered to contribute meaningfully to their communities and to live in harmony with nature, fulfilling our vision of education as a pathway to sustainable, conscious living.
Natural and Built Landscapes
Mindful interaction with both natural and built environments reflects our commitment to designing spaces that support contemplative awareness and ecological balance. Whether walking through a forest path or sitting in a quiet architectural nook, these environments are extensions of our intention to live in deeper harmony with the planet.
Curricula
Curricula grounded in mindfulness and spiritual practice enable formal education to support whole-person development. By integrating reflective and nature-based practices into academic learning, we foster environments that not only cultivate intellectual growth but also nurture emotional resilience and planetary stewardship.
