- Sponsoring forums for the presentation of research and exchange of ideas though regional and national meetings and conferences.
- Supporting the development of courses and curricula through residential summer sessions.
- Supporting the deepening of contemplative teaching through retreats for academics offering a variety of traditional and secular practices.
- Distributing scholarly work and general information relating to the field of contemplative education online, including a quarterly e-newsletter.
