CIRCL: Contemplative Innovation + Research Co-Lab is a dynamically experimental collaboratory in UVA’s Contemplative Commons, plus an interdisciplinary network of research faculty dedicated to investigating practices and experiences of human transformation.

    CIRCL: Contemplative Innovation + Research Co-Lab, is a dynamically experimental collaboratory at the University of Virginia’s Contemplative Sciences Center. CIRCL investigates carefully how contemplative practices work in bodies and minds, cultures and ecologies, ourselves and our worlds. In the lab, we understand contemplation to be both a diverse suite of artful practices that can be learned and experiences that can be curated to enhance and transform lives. Our cutting-edge research leverages the humanities, sciences, arts, and technology to generate novel solutions to advance human flourishing.
