Dear colleagues,

I wanted to inform you about an upcoming education meeting that the  
Mind and Life Institute is hosting with the Dalai Lama and leading  
educators on October 8-9, 2009 in Constitution Hall in Washington DC.

The meeting, entitled "Educating World Citizens for the 21st Century:  
Educators, Scientists and Contemplatives Dialogue on Cultivating a  
Healthy Mind, Brain, and Heart? aims to shed new light on the kind of  
education we need in the 21st century through the format of  
interdisciplinary dialogue.

Our aim through such dialogues is to forge creative new connections  
between contemporary views in education, human development and  
neuroscience, and sources of wisdom and practice with regard to  
education and development in the world?s contemplative traditions of  
the world. Another aim is to spur new interdisciplinary projects  
involving research and "field experiments" out in the world of schools.

We have not yet released the information about this event to the  
general public because we wanted to invite colleagues like you, and  
any of your friends and colleagues who might be interested, whom we  
would most like to see at the event.

Here is the link to the event site if you wish to learn more:
