On March 1, 2025, the Institute closed its physical doors, no longer offering onsite or faculty-led programs and ceasing its operations as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
The Institute continues to live on in a purely virtual space - this self-study website. Our email address will remain live through 2027.
If you reach out to us via email, please note that we will
only be checking it at intervals.
