Welcome to the Mindfulness and Education Working Group (MEWG)
MEWG is supported by the Vice President’s Office for Diversity and Community Initiatives at Teachers College, Columbia University.  We are a team of faculty, students, staff and alumni dedicated to exploring how mindfulness can contribute to the health, well-being, and resilience of individuals learning, teaching and working in education.  


Our 2012–13 academic year activities include:

• SUMMER COURSE: Mindfulness and Contemplative to Action
• Weekly group meditation sessions that meet on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at TC
• Dial-In Meditation on Tuesdays
• Mindfulness meditation retreats
• Exploration of research and application of mindfulness in education
  
• Mindfulness for Personal and Professional development
