Welcome

The Institute for Cultural and Healing Traditions, Ltd. is the only free-standing institute of its kind in the area. Its fundamental aim is to provide a forum for the presentation and the contemporary interaction of diverse cultures, including the healing cultures and their traditions.

The Institute for Cultural and Healing Traditions is concerned with these aspects of culture in their myriad expressions and in the various traditions which are the vehicles for these expressions. The Institute looks at these traditions in contemporary settings.

The Institute encourages ongoing independent individual work in various aspects of contemporary culture including the culture of healing .To this end, The Institute provides a freestanding public, educational forum every Thursday evening. This forum is for Independent Scholars to present their ongoing work to interested co-learners. It occasionally invites speakers for Thursday evening sessions. These sessions are always open to public participants and interested co-learners.

"The existing monuments form an ideal order among themselves, which is modified by the introduction of the new (the really new) work of art among them. The existing order is complete before the new work arrives; for order to persist after the supervention of novelty, the whole existing order must be, if ever so slightly, altered and so the relations, proportions, values of each work of art toward the whole are readjusted; and this is conformity between the old and the new."
- T.S. Eliot
