The Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Theater: Contemporary Performance is a graduate program at Naropa University that integrates contemplative education with interdisciplinary conservatory‐level performing arts training. This chapter discusses how MFA faculty and students characterize contemplative education and how students view the impact of contemplative education on their personal and professional development.
