Contemplation By Design Initiative
The Contemplation By Design initiative at Stanford Medicine teaches students to rest and reflect through academic courses, meditation sessions, and an annual summit.
Students and staff often experience cognitive overdrive, but this program aims to help them train their minds to foster mental well-being.
- Academic classes
- Meditation sessions
- Yoga sessions
The programming teaches contemplative lifestyle behaviors, facilitating a shift from a high productivity mindset to a more restful state, creating harmony between the nervous systems and improving sleep and focus.
Contemplation By Design helps students, faculty and staff breathe.
