The Garrison Institute is pleased to announce the appointment of Christa Tinari as the new Director of our Contemplative-Based Resiliency Program.

“We are very excited to welcome Christa to the Institute and to our team,” says Brian Gallagher, Interim Executive Director. “She brings a wealth of experience regarding the science of contemplation in the service of human well-being, and is the ideal leader to grow and deepen the impact of our CBR Program.”

Building on the momentum of our Spring 2022 Pathways to Planetary Health (PPH) Forum series, the Garrison Institute is excited to announce its continuation through a new summer lineup. Our spring series created an arc across all four pathways to planetary health while engaging leading thinkers. This summer, we continue highlighting each pathway and bringing thought leaders to engage with our audience, this time with a focus on regeneration. 

The Garrison Institute’s mission is to apply contemplative wisdom to today’s most pressing challenges, with the vision of building a more compassionate, resilient future. We have done this for nearly two decades through programs that teach mindfulness, develop intention, and compel action. We continue this legacy with our Pathways to Planetary Health initiative. 

Our weekly BIPOC meditation sangha, led by Kaira Jewel Lingo and Marisela Gomez, has created a real community over the past year and a half.
