Contemplative-Based Resilience

For years, the Garrison Institute has offered a program that provides resilience trainings for direct service providers through the Contemplative Based Resilience (CBR) Project. These evidence-based trainings give caregivers—health care providers, social workers, humanitarian aid workers, first responders—the opportunity to strengthen their resilience.

Pathways to Planetary Health

The Garrison Institute’s Pathways to Planetary Health signature program explores and promotes a regenerative paradigm that nurtures the health of the whole, simultaneously optimizing human well-being and preserving the biosphere. The predominant worldview and its economic system for assigning value is based on a degenerative paradigm which prioritizes extraction and individual consumption. Pathways seeks to illuminate a different way forward.
