October 10-12, 2014, at the University of Washington, Seattle

The annual gathering on contemplative inquiry and higher education

About the 2014 Conference

We will investigate the relationship between the intentions of contemplative methods and their effectiveness. How might the development and evaluation of these methods be guided by what has been discovered about the many ways we learn, the creation of meaning, and the development of meaningful assessment?
