Mette Leonard Høeg is a consciousness researcher and writer whose work bridges neuroscience, poetics, aesthetics and contemplative practice.

A research fellow at Oxford's Centre for Eudaimonia and Human Flourishing, the Oxford Uehiro Institute and the Interacting Minds Centre at Aarhus University, she investigates how combining consciousness science with literature and philosophy from Western and Eastern traditions can help create meaning-making and enable flourishing in contemporary culture —particularly in the face of new neuro- and biotechnologies and growing existential risks.

She is an accredited meditation teacher and guides weekly meditation sessions at the university. She offers literary and philosophical consultancy, public talks and meditation guidance.
