Contemplation by Design Summit

The Contemplation by Design Summit is a campus-wide, multidisciplinary program designed to encourage all members of the Stanford community to enjoy the power of the pause. Faculty, staff, students and the community are invited to these free events.

Each event is designed to bring the Stanford community together in experiencing the importance of quieting
the striving mind and refreshing oneself through quiet contemplation. Summit participants learn practical
skills for resting, reflecting, renewing—and thus sustaining—wise, purposeful engagement in learning,
teaching, research and service.

All 100 Summit sessions are FREE (download PDF brochure) | registration is required.
