PROGRAMS
Since June 2004, concentration has been on the College Scholarship Fund. Through donations and sponsorships this fund assures education for those deserving and financially-in-need students tenth level and beyond who would otherwise be unable to go to college. Many are from families where they are the first to go to college. For these students education is their only access to a real future.
The Institute also conducts courses (credits may be granted through cooperating universities) through the Department of Integrated Ecopsychology. Dr. Michael Cohen, Director, holds workshops throughout the USA and has interactive classes on the internet as part of distance learning. His work is widely recognized.
The Institute has published several significant books including the award winning Connecting with Nature: Creating Moments that Let Nature Teach, Well Mind Well Earth, Reconnecting with Nature, and Einstein’s World all by Dr. Michael Cohen. Dr. Richard Schneider wrote In Search of Rainbows and In Search of Rainbows II and III, which have been translated into Telugu, and most recently (2006) The Collected Works: In Search of Rainbows.
The Institute held several Peace and the Planet Symposiums including Native Wisdom, Natives Rights and Mother Earth and Belonging to Mother Earth: Indigenous Wisdom and Healing that brought together indigenous leaders and lay people from around the world.
