Mind & Life’s foundational strength is our expanding community. Together we seek individual and societal transformation toward a world that embraces our shared humanity. The impact is far-reaching, rippling out into the world in multi-faceted ways through laboratory research, school programs, mental health interventions, social change work, coalition-building projects, and more—efforts that deepen our understanding of the mind and our awareness of interconnection. We are deeply committed to seeking out diverse perspectives and backgrounds that enrich our knowledge and grow our community.


Fellows

Our community is nurtured, mentored, and guided by our Mind & Life Fellows. The Fellows are nominated for exemplary work and impact in research, leadership, or contemplative teaching.
