Contemplation by Design

Stanford Medicine's Contemplation by Design (CBD) is a campus-wide, multidisciplinary program designed to encourage all members of the Stanford community to enjoy the power of the pause. Quarterly, CBD classes, lectures, workshops, concerts and mixed media events are offered all around campus to provide skill-building experiences that further balance, tranquility, resilience and creative excellence. Annually, the week-long CBD Summit brings the Stanford community together in recognizing the importance of quieting the thinking mind and refreshing oneself through quiet contemplation.
