The aim of CCE is to foster communities that support the enhancement of contemplative experience both in individual and interpersonal contexts. Where this takes us is part of the mystery; change is welcome, and inevitable.

In the individual context, we will offer a variety of recorded practice sessions and classes, drawing from a range of traditions. We will also offer from time-to-time live internet-based classes and host half-day and full-day group sitting on site at our location in Simi Valley, California. Eventually we will offer multi-day residential retreats.

In the interpersonal context, we will offer unique approaches to applying contemplative principles in a variety of arenas, distilling the essential features of dedicated contemplative practices so they are available to everyone, both practitioners and non-practitioners. Our flagship offering in this context is an innovative approach to mindfulness in the classroom developed by Marcy Crawford, Embodied Teaching.
