Since its founding in 2004, SRI has been a driving force in the development of the field of contemplative science.

Conscious Change Forum Event Recap
The inaugural Conscious Change Forum hosted by Garrison Institute’s Spirituality & Social Change initiative and the Conscious Change Collective brought together more than 100 people from at least 10 countries, including change leaders, funders, spiritual activists, and leading practitioners working at the intersection of inner work, spirituality, and social change. We build upon a long history of nonviolent and spiritually based movements for justice, faith lineages that have invested deeply in societal wellbeing, and Indigenous traditions where the spiritual and communal are inseparable.
