Over the course of the next day, Ekman, Alan Wallace and scientists Mark Greenberg and Richard
Davidson began to sketch out what such a training program would comprise and how its impact
could be best evaluated. The name of the program, Cultivating Emotional Balance, was generated
in that first day of discussion. Ekman and Wallace continued the planning of CEB with consultation
from the original Mind & Life group on training program design and research design to capture the
effects of the CEB training. The Dalai Lama gave the first $50,000 and an additional $800,000 was
raised with help from Jon Kabat-Zinn, Dan Goleman and the Fetzer Institute to perform a thorough
research trial of CEB. Paul Ekman attended the pilot study for CEB and he recruited Margaret
Kemeny with expertise in clinical trials research projects to run the research. Margaret Cullen and
Alan Wallace provided the training. Details on the findings from the original research study will
follow at the end of the paper.
