The Association for Contemplative Mind in Higher Education
The ACMHE connects a network of leading institutions and academics committed to the recovery and development of the contemplative dimension of teaching, learning and knowing in higher education.
Read More
We envision higher education as an opportunity to cultivate deep personal and social awareness:
an exploration of meaning, purpose and values in service to our common human future.
Contemplative Practices
Contemplative Practices cultivate a critical, first-person focus, sometimes with direct experience as the object, while at other times concentrating on complex ideas or situations. Incorporated into daily life, they act as a reminder to connect to what we find most meaningful.
Our Vision & Mission
We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization working to transform higher education with contemplative practices and perspectives, creating active learning and research environments that look deeply into experience and meaning for all in service of a more just and compassionate society.
Our Programs
We organize and host retreats, conferences, curricular development workshops, lectures, and webinars; identify and create useful resources; and connect individuals and organizations through the ACMHE, a professional association for educators.
