Mindfulness and Education Working Group, Teachers College Columbia University
The Mindfulness and Education Working Group’s (MEWG) mission is to explore and promote the role of mindfulness and contemplative practices in education through innovative interdisciplinary research, theory, and practice.

Building Personal and Community Practice
MEWG embraces multiple perspectives and approaches to provide guidance, resources, and opportunities for the Teachers College community to deepen self-awareness, personal growth and resilience. Through the application of mindfulness and contemplative practices, MEWG empowers individuals to lead more fulfilling, meaningful and healthy lives.
