Santa Barbara Institute for Consciousness Studies

CCR is affiliated with and deeply connected to the Santa Barbara Institute for Consciousness Studies (SBI), a non-profit focused on the nature and potential of consciousness and genuine well-being and its causes. CCR will draw on and benefit from SBI’s 18-year track record of collaboration with multiple universities in the US and Europe on myriad research projects. The research beginning at CCR North America features leading scientists and philosophers from around the world. As an independent organization, CCR is well equipped to develop a global network of contemplative research observatories for the study of consciousness, drawing on multiple collaborative opportunities with academic universities.
