The contemplative based resilience program (cbr) offers resilence training in mind-body contemplative practices to support the well-being of helping professionals and changemakers such as health care workers, social workers, humanitarian staff, and others. One of the first programs of its kind, cbr offers evidence-based tools to deepen self-awareness and self-care, so attendees can "be well to serve well." in view of the vast need and demand, the cbr project now offers leadership courses for nonprofit leaders who can help their organizations adopt cbr tools. As cbr embarks on its third decade, the program continues its dedication to those people and organizations who dedicate themselves to serving others.

The pathways to planetary health initiative recognizes that the wellbeing of people and earth are deeply interconnected. Its work builds understanding of planetary health through scientific inquiry and contemplative practice across traditions, through convening leaders, conducting applied research and strategically engaging with decisionmakers, developing leadership programs, and weaving contemplative practice throughout the work.

Other programs include fellowships, virtual programs, spirituality and social impact, and fiscal sponsorship for the healing-centered project.
