Welcome from the President

SelfDesign is centered on the understanding that we as human beings have the capacity to author our own lives from a place of resourcefulness, creativity, and possibility. At every step in the life cycle from early childhood to elderhood, we can lead and design our own learning through spirals of discovery, introspection, integration, and expression. This is the central insight that guides our work at the SelfDesign Graduate Institute.

If your own knowing and/or feeling resonates with this insight, we invite you to join us on a path of learning that will enhance and expand your knowledge, deepen and enliven your wisdom, open your heart even more, and develop your skills.

The SelfDesign Graduate Institute is a unique learning community, where both the learners and the faculty are committed to the integrity and capacity of each human being to design her/his own learning—and life. We hold those commitments deeply, because we believe that the more that human beings can discover and enact their own life designs and purposes, the more they will be able to contribute to the creation of a peaceful, sustainable global society on this planet.
