Contemplative Practice in Higher Education

An Experiment in Teacher Development

Niagara Centre, Connaught Public School, 28 Prince Street, St. Catherines, Ontario L2R 3X7, Canada.

Higher education is being severely criticized on a number of fronts. This article argues that a major problem with the university is that it is still rooted in dualism. Contemplation is generally practiced within a nondualistic framework that allows for genuine Self Integration. This article describes the efforts of the author to bring contemplative practice into a graduate school of education. Student experiences with various forms of meditation are described, illustrated by excerpts from students' journals.
