The purpose of this site is to provide an international hub for scholars, researchers, teachers and students who are working in the rapidly growing field of contemplative education. Its purpose is to facilitate contact, information sharing, collaboration on projects, mentoring students and a range of other activities. The site is designed so that you can register and post your information as well as search the site for colleagues and material that interests you. In addition, it provides a source of information and contacts for those interested in exploring the possibilities of this area of pedagogy and research but who are not yet registered. Both registration and searching are free and so we urge you to register and become a part of the growing and exciting contemplative education community. Fill out the registration form to set up your page. You can post your photo, c.v or brief biography, descriptions of your research projects or teaching praxis, and contact information. Once your page is open, you can update it as new work or information comes available. [ read more ]
Member of the Month
Abid Azam – April 2016
I’m honoured to have this platform to introduce myself to you and share my current interests and projects. I am currently in the first year of the PhD Clinical Psychology program at YorkU, and completed my Master’s in Kinesiology & Health Science Master’s during 2013-2015. I came across the teachings, practices, and perspectives of mindfulness late during my undergraduate years, and consider myself quite fortunate that they presented themselves to me as they have provided great traction for me in both my personal and academic life.

Oren Ergas – February 2016
I am very grateful for the opportunity to be featured as member of the month. I'll say some quite informal words about my"self", or what I've managed to gather so far about "it". By the time this will be posted it might not be fully relevant anymore, but I'll do my best. So I'm Oren, the meaning of which in Hebrew is a "pine tree".

Laurie Anderson – November 2015
Hi, my name is Laurie Anderson, and I’m honoured to be profiled here. I’ll tell you a bit about myself and how I ended up here. My day job is Executive Director of Simon Fraser University’s (SFU) Vancouver campus, a job with a “management” function (budget, space, library, IT, operations, etc) and a much more stimulating “leadership” function (deeply engaging students, faculty, staff and the community). In my “spare” time, I’m an Adjunct prof in SFU’s faculty of Education, as well as the Associate and Senior Facilitator with SFU’s Centre for Dialogue. I like to joke that I took this job at SFU (after 30 odd years in the K-12 system) to recoup my tuition fees for my three degrees from SFU over the decades.

Helen E. Lees – October 2015
Hi. It's really great to be profiled here as it is a chance for Other Education to become better known. We think we have something to share that might be of interest to readers of the contemplative education website. The work profiled in Other Education is either about difference in and of education or is different itself. A look at our archive and current issue will give you a flavour of what is on offer: www.othereducation.org
