Dr. Mark Greenberg, Director of the
Prevention Research Center at Penn State University, examines the
relationships between intrapersonal mindfulness activities, such as
sitting and walking meditation, and interpersonal mindfulness
activities, such as deep listening, regulating one's emotional
reactions, and practicing compassion.
He highlights the ethical
dimension of mindfulness, which is often de-emphasized.
He concludes
with a call for a research agenda that explores how intra- and
interpersonal mindfulness activities and outcomes are related, as well
as an examination of the outcomes of mindfulness activities in different
contexts.

About The Garrison Institute
The Garrison Institute explores the intersection of contemplation and engaged action in the world. Founded in 2003, our mission is to apply the transformative power of contemplation to today's pressing social and environmental problems, helping build a more compassionate, resilient future.Our program initiatives - Contemplation and Education, Transformational Ecology, and Transforming Trauma - bring a contemplative dimension to key social change fields, applying relevant techniques to caregiving, teaching and environmental advocacy. We also research and develop new ways of applying those techniques in specific vocational settings, from domestic violence shelters to classrooms.
Our retreat programs bring inspiring teachers and teachings from diverse wisdom traditions to wide audiences, supporting individual growth and communities of practice.
