Research outside the box. Art designed for empowering.

We are dedicated to sharing the powerful connection of healing, art and aesthetic experience. We are deeply committed to rigorous research design and practice. We are visionaries who want to help add support where it is needed. 

We learn from every voice and enable the healthy entitlement needed for all to access 

support systems and connect to positive community. 

We stand against all forms of oppression and are deeply committed to the development of tools and opportunities for all to engage in collaborative healing practices for themselves and their communities: creating healing stories. 

We imagine a campus where:  

-Support for mental and physical health is the absolute priority. 

-Research breaks bounds of disciplines and borders of institutions in building the most exceptional team empowered by the process and ignited by the passion.

-The museum is a healing hub for students, faculty, staff, and our community. 

-The largest recovery center on any college campus is celebrated as a point of deep pride.

We imagine a campus who: 

-Says to the young person who struggled through school feeling unsupported, we hear you and we want to celebrate the mark you leave and do better because you were here. 

We imagine a community:  

-That joins resources to better support those in need.  

-Models support for healing for all--not as an office, a research agenda or a discipline, but a way of life.    

We imagine: 

An Initiative that reaches into the community, collaborating, getting stronger, and creating change heard around the world.
