Garrison Institute
The Garrison Institute is a non-profit, non-sectarian organization located in Garrison, New York. Its stated mission is “applying the power of contemplation to social and environmental change, helping build a more compassionate, resilient future.” Drawing on current scientific research and contemplative practices, the Institute’s programs develop and disseminate contemplative-based methodologies designed to enhance resilience, leadership and effectiveness, especially in the fields of education, environmental/climate change, and trauma care. It holds contemplative retreats representing a wide range of traditions and practices, selected for their conduciveness to personal growth and positive social change.
== History ==
The Garrison Institute was founded in 2003 by Jonathan F. P. Rose, founder and president of the sustainable development firm Jonathan Rose Companies, and Diana Calthorpe Rose. Its founding spiritual advisers, still serving today, are Gelek Rimpoche, Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi and Father Thomas Keating. Inspired by the opportunity of rescuing a disused Capuchin monastery from real estate development and adapting it for a new use, the Institute’s founders set out to define and create a “monastery of the 21st century,” one whose work was socially engaged and relevant to contemporary issues, inclusive and accessible, scientifically valid and evidence-based.
The Garrison Institute held its first public retreats in 2003, including retreats with Gelek Rimpoche and Tsoknyi Rinpoche, the first East Coast vipassana meditation retreat for people of color, and the First Conference of Tibetan Buddhist Dharma Centers in the Americas, addressed by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, who has taught at the Institute three times.
In subsequent years the Garrison Institute launched new, ongoing science- and contemplative-based social change initiatives in the fields of education, ecology and trauma care. Its retreat calendar has grown to over 70 retreats a year, representing Buddhist, Christian, Jewish, Muslim and other traditions and contemporary practices, as well as scientific and professional meetings such as the annual Mind and Life Summer Research Institute and Climate, Mind and Behavior symposia. At present writing, some 40,000 people have participated in retreats and programs held at the Institute. In addition, the Institute has established regional hubs around the United States and online learning communities for some of its programs.
