The Foundation Institute

In order to provide an opportunity for students to study at the Foundation as well as to provide the mechanism needed to complete the Non-Project Option, the Foundation has developed the Foundation Institute. The Institute runs for five days (Monday-Friday) on a specific theme consisting of two separate seminars, morning and afternoon.

For Credit Participants earn two Units of Study (or NPO credit for select degree programs) upon submission of a paper of 1,750-2,500 words (7-10 pages) on each seminar, or one paper of 3,750-5,000 words (15-20 pages), covering topics of both seminars. Reading lists are provided with the application form.

Certificate Participants receive a certificate of completion which reflects the title of the seminars taken during the Institute.

Location The Institutes are offered at Foundation approved venues.

Fees $1,200.00 is the cost for the Institute. Individuals taking only one seminar of the Institute are charged $600.00.

Deadlines A $300.00 deposit must be received six weeks prior to the starting date of the Institute. In the event of insufficient enrollment, the deposit is returned.

Dates There is a Foundation Institute which is offered the first week of November every year. Another Institute may be offered in the summer.

Institute on Nurturing Wholeness in a Fractured World

November 1-5, 2010
Registration Deadline: September 20, 2010

Faculty Tutor: Dr. John H. Morgan, Karl Mannheim Professor of the History & Philosophy of the Social Sciences
Description: This Institute is designed to address the issue of personal wholeness in the modern world with special emphasis upon the fractured nature of human experience and our personal quest for spiritual nurture. The exploration will be by means of provocative thought systems developed during the late 19th century and fully expanded into the 20th and 21st century. Special consideration will be given to the thought systems of Freud, Jung, Adler, Frankl, Rogers, and Sullivan and some thought will be given to the rise of “secular spirituality” and the “new humanism” of Huxley and Wilson as relates to our modern quest for spiritual wholeness both inside and outside institutional religious systems.
