Contemplativelife.org is a non-profit organization founded on the principle that deep and sustained practice transforms people. The mission is simple and clear: connecting people and communities with transformative practices. The platform serves as a bridge which helps users find practices that cultivate the inner life, reduce stress, improve health, foster community, transform the heart and mind, and invite compassionate action. 

We are reaching out to any human being who might care, and to our URI family, exhorting each URI individual and Cooperation Circle to raise your voice. "Speak now or forever hold your peace," is an often repeated phrase and it critically applies to this moment.
