Stanford University

His classroom is a lab where transformative learning is designed and developed as healing community. He has designed and conducted 18 original courses, numerous academic programs, and collaborated with artists and scientists in the university and community. The fruits of his labor are manifest in the lives of students whose personal growth contributes to the transformation of societies around the world.
Heartfulness Lab
Exploring the power of heartfulness as a guiding light in living a good life, we create and implement programs designed to promote transformative learning in community at Stanford and in the wider world. We offer courses, workshops, and internships on heartfulness for students and interested people outside the university. Our students train and practice as teachers of our global programs. Our research is published in books, articles, and blogs.

LifeWorks
Co-founder of the LifeWorks program for integrative learning that fosters the growth of “whole students,” cultivating their ability to live boldly, reflectively, and responsibly. Our courses and workshops integrate scholarship, creative expression and embodied practices such as mindfulness and self reflection to help students connect their academic work with their core values and goals. LifeWorks students gain a strong sense of personal and collective identity, and deepen those capacities--including courage, resilience, and compassion--that will help them contribute to an increasingly interdependent world.
