Mind and Life Institute

The Mind and Life Institute is a nonprofit organization founded in 1987 that fosters dialogue between scientific research and contemplative practices, such as meditation. Its mission is to explore how mental training can enhance health and well-being. The Institute brings together scientists, philosophers, and contemplatives to investigate the nature of the mind and consciousness. Through discussions, workshops, and research, it aims to bridge the gap between Western science and Eastern wisdom traditions, ultimately seeking to better understand human experience and promote deeper insights into the mind's potential for transformation.
