The Varieties of Contemplative Experience research project is the most comprehensive research study on meditation-related challenges ever to be undertaken. After seven years of data collection and analysis, the first overview paper was published, and it has been viewed or downloaded more than 130,000 times. Since then, under the direction of Dr. Lindahl and Dr. Britton, the research team has published ten more papers, with even more forthcoming. In this talk, Dr Lindahl presents a newly revised research overview, illuminating the types of meditation-related challenges, influencing factors, and interpretations with numerous examples from the qualitative data. More than ever before, this talk will showcase the study findings through the words of the one hundred meditation practitioners and teachers who gave interviews for the study.
Jared Lindahl, PhD
Dr. Lindahl has been directing the data collection, qualitative analysis, and writing of papers for the Varieties of Contemplative Experience research project for a decade. He is the lead author on eight of the ten papers from the VCE study and has given numerous talks on specific themes from the study to Cheetah House.
This lecture will be held on Wednesday July 19th from 1o:00 - 11:30am Pacific Time / 1 - 2:30pm Eastern Time.
