Practice in Community

Sustaining mindfulness practices is better together.

During the initial years of the Crown Institute’s work, we developed a range of collective mindfulness practices. Led by Institute faculty member Michele Simpson, this formation was informed by the best available scientific evidence, our participatory design cycle and the guidance of extraordinary teachers whose voices called us to courage and compassion.

Today, any educator of any school community — from elementary school to higher education — can join our Community of Practice and Mindful Campus Program 8-week Series in-person or remotely. Learn more about the origins of this work and how to participate here.
