2007 Mind and Life Summer Research Institute
Applications are now being taken for the 2007 Mind and Life Summer Research Institute (MLSRI) to be held at the Garrison Institute in Garrison, New York, from Sunday, June 3, through Saturday, June 9, 2007.
The purpose of the Mind and Life Summer Research Institute is to advance collaborative research among behavioral scientists, neuroscientists, and biomedical researchers based on a process of inquiry, dialogue, and in some cases, collaboration, with Buddhist contemplative practitioners and scholars and those in other contemplative traditions.
The long-term objective is to advance the training of a new generation of behavioral scientists, cognitive/affective neuroscientists, clinicians, and contemplative scholar/practitioners interested in exploring the potential influences of meditation and other contemplative practices on mind, behavior, brain function, and health. This includes examining the potential role of contemplative methods for characterizing human experience and consciousness from a neuroscience perspective.
The application process is online only. No paper applications, either mailed or faxed, will be accepted. Applications close at 7:00 PM EST on Wednesday, February 28, 2007. Interested applicants are advised to apply early. Applications submitted after February 28th will not be accepted.

November
3rd International Conference on
Mind & Its Potential
3-4 November 2007 Sydney Masonic Centre
Sydney, Australia
The conference is aimed at those with an interest in understanding and developing the potential of the mind. Whether your goal is to find a way to enhance your own day-to-day happiness, more effectively care for others or to follow a path of spiritual development, the issue is the same – you need to develop new ways of thinking about yourself, your environment and your problems.
The conference will be of particular interest to those working in such areas as:
- Psychology
- Psychotherapy
- Mental health
- Neuroscience
- Medicine
- Counselling
- Teaching
- Social work
- Nursing
- Coaching
- Human resource management
The tools and techniques for mental development are presented at this conference in an environment that is open to the diversity of opinions that exist in science, psychology and the different religious traditions. As such, the conference is relevant to those of all religious faiths and those without religious beliefs – the conference themes are non-sectarian and informed by the values, wisdom and methods of Buddhism, Christianity, western psychology and science.
Last years's conference was booked out. Therefore it is highly recommended that you confirm your attendance as soon as possible.
