Since its inception in 1974, Naropa University has been a pioneer of contemplative education. The low-residency Master of Arts in Contemplative Education program is drawn from Naropa's root lineage that combines the breadth of academic investigation with the depth of meditative wisdom. The program is designed for those seeking knowledge and skills for a nonsectarian approach both to how we learn and how we teach. Our approach to contemplative education is based upon individual transformation brought about through the cultivation of our inherent spiritual qualities. The Master of Arts in Contemplative Education will instruct you in practices that will enhance your mindfulness, awareness, empathy, authenticity, and in the synchronization of your body, speech, and mind.

We are so grateful to the leadership of Richard C. Brown who has many years invested in training contemplative teachers. Richard studied directly under Naropa's founder Chogyam Trumgpa Rinpoche.

Naropa students and faculty are amazingly willing to enter into a mutual journey combining transformative self development with skill and content acquisition. The result is a university full of unique yet interconnected individuals.
