Welcome to the CUNY Contemplatives' wiki website!

The CUNY Contemplatives Network is an informal association of (mostly, originally) CUNY professors dedicated to the use of meditation and other contemplative practices in academia. We invite others in/outside CUNY to join us in our interests. This wiki (wikis are editable websites, great for collaborative projects) is a place to expand our contemplative network, share thoughts, papers, research, powerpoints, resources, weblinks, book reviews, and other contemplative work, to collaborate on projects, and to amass a vast body of information and resources. Many members are affiliated with the Center for Contemplative Mind in Society (www.contemplativemind.org) as well as the Association for Contemplative Mind in Higher Education (www.acmhe.org), but we sincerely hope this association extends beyond CUNY, the CCM, and the ACMHE. At the same time, we encourage everyone to check out the websites of the CCM and the ACMHE (see links above and below). To date we have well over 100 members, including many non-CUNY professors.

To date, the founding members of the CUNY Contemplatives Network have presented together and individually at several conferences (see archives links below), and we envision as realistic goals the eventual formation of some type of Contemplative Center or Institute within CUNY as well as a Contemplative Concentration, Certificate Program, or Major at CUNY (akin to the CUNY BA program, and structured in a way that is similar to the program at Brown), given the large number of faculty who already are using or soon will be using contemplative pedagogies in their courses throughout the CUNY system. We are uniquely positioned to bring about these goals in the near future, but we need your pro-active participation to do so, so please keep in touch with us and stay active on this wiki!

Note to new users:

This is a wiki, and editable website, a place where any of us may collaborate on papers, projects, research, discussions, etc. You can comment on any page by clicking the COMMENT key at the bottom left of any page. You can create pages of your own by clicking on the CREATE A PAGE button to the upper right of any page, and you can create links form pages to pages or other sites by clicking on the globe/paper-clip icon above. Feel free to experiment with how to use this. Every previous version of every page is stored and may be retrieved, should you need to do so. Please respect others' pages by only commenting on them, unless the page invites editing, posting links, etc. Enjoy. Most of our member/users have what is called wiki-Writer status, and can perform most basic editing functions, create pages, upload/download documents, etc. The wiki-Administrator (Rick Repetti) governs who has access to the wiki and other global matters, and the other founding members have wiki-Editor status (and so can perform more global structural changes on the wiki). If you have any questions or need help navigating this wiki, or would like to do more with the wiki than you are able to as a wiki-Writer (you can be given wiki-Editor status), please leave your inquiries for the wiki-Administrator (Rick Repetti) on his page (Rick Repetti page) or email him directly (at rrepetti@kingsborough.edu).
