The Garrison Institute was founded in 2003, and we are enjoying our tenth anniversary year with special events, a commemorative video, and a journal, Essays from the Garrison Institute: 10 Years of Impact, 2003-2013 (PDF, 7.5 MB). In April, we held our 10th Anniversary Gala at The Pierre hotel in Manhattan. Our keynote speakers were our board members Paul Hawken, Dan Siegel, and Sharon Salzberg — leading lights in their fields, each of whom spoke about the ways in which the Garrison Institute is galvanizing a broad-based movement for contemplative-based social change in pursuit of our mission to help build a more compassionate, resilient future.
