Nourishing inner work and spiritual practice toward a life of meaning.
OUR VISION
Meditative methods unlock the openness, clarity, warmth at the heart of every human being. Hemera envisions a world transformed by the experience of inner work which calls forth altruism and action.
About HEMERA FOUNDATION
Named for the Greek goddess of day born of chaos, Hemera pulls the veil of darkness away so light can reach the world. The Foundation is guided by a mission to share the generative capacities of awareness, insight and compassion in people throughout the world.
Our Work
Hemera’s partners and programs cultivate strong, thoughtful and loving people. Our focus on education, mental health, spiritual development and modern Buddhism has allowed us to find collaborators with a diversity of approaches to transformation.
Our Journey
Hemera’s spend up approach champions the role of meditation and contemplative practice at a pivotal moment. Learning from wisdom holders, scientists and individual practitioners, we’ve been a part of the movement towards transformation grounded in the individual and experiential.
Hemera Foundation was endowed as a spend-up foundation in 2007 and is on track to complete its mandate at the end of 2028. As we near the end of the current Foundation’s life, Hemera is focused on important work with existing grantees. We regret that we are no longer able to take new grantees.
