The Groundworks Institute is an educational institute directed towards the integral study of the arts, the body, religion, science, and the psychology of C. G. Jung. Through these disciplines, the primary interest of The Groundworks Institute is the undertaking of projects which promote an acute awareness of the inter-relationship between spiritual and physical life, especially in reference to the resacralization of individual and collective consciousness. Projects pursued by The Groundworks Institute include the offering of educational courses which address the institute's expressed interests. In providing awareness through education, The Groundworks Institute is oriented toward both individual insight and a renewed collective vision.
Individual insight is acquired through experience - through the mind, the spirit, and the body.
Courses offered by The Groundworks Institute aim at addressing all three aspects of being. A wise woman who was traveling in the mountains found a precious stone in a stream. The next day she met another traveler who was hungry, and the wise woman opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked the woman to give it to him. She did so, without hesitation.
