At the Mind & Life Institute, we bring science and contemplative wisdom together to better understand the mind and create positive change in the world. We recognize that many of today’s challenges—from loneliness and anxiety to racial injustice and growing polarization—have roots in the human mind. Building on our 34-year legacy, we seek to better understand the role of the mind in creating these problems—and its potential to solve them. Our grantmaking, convenings, and digital education programs fall into three main focus areas: nurturing personal well-being, building compassionate communities, and strengthening the human-earth connection. Ultimately, we seek to spark a global transformation toward a society where we embrace our shared humanity.
