July 6 – 17, 2020 (weekdays only) | ONLINE WEBINAR
In past years we have gathered in one physical location for School for Designing a Society sessions. This year we are offering a ten-day intensive geographically dispersed while intensively connected. One advantage to doing this course in our homes is that the applied aspects of learning can be immediately tested and redesigned; we can immediately address any losses in translation. How can we counteract the social structures—legal, non-legal, formal, informal—that treat people as something other than people?
August 14-21, 2020 | Hillsboro, WV
We invite you to spend a week in August, reflecting, playing, and living together in the wonderful natural environment of the Gesundheit! Institute in West Virginia. It’s a week devoted to the Art of Care – as a way to better understand ourselves, discover our bodies, and reflect on facets of Care.
There are many ways you can get involved in realizing the Gesundheit! mission — contributing to the health of individuals, families, and communities with fun, friendship and the joy of service:
GIVE A DONATION Help build the Patch Adams Teaching Center and Clinic and provide a desirable model for health care. All contributions will go to the Gesundheit Institute and will be used exclusively for the capital campaign.
HOST A FUN-RAISING EVENT to take an active part in the campaign to build the Clinic and Teaching Center.
SUBSCRIBE TO OUR MAILING LIST for announcements of upcoming events and news.
Learn how to be a GesundheitFor the fun-deficient, or those that can’t get away, we offer some hints and ideas on how to host a Fun-Raiser with your friends! Smiles are contagious. Imagine you are an anti-depressant- being publicly happy and generous of spirit is a public-health action. Fun-raising, for a moment, lifts us a little above this troubled world.
