Exploring
Nature &
Culture

Artemis_A_leaf-01

We believe that the tie between the creative process and the relationship that we have with the world is profound, and, when engaged and expressed, results in transformations of how we relate to the world in which we live.

How
we
explore

Education

Whether its three days or six months of immersion, Artemis Institute develops and offers educational curriculum for both personal enrichment and formal academic courses, all designed to help participants recognize the potential of their creative selves to seek out personal practices and community interactions that benefit the Earth and those who call it home.

Colloquy

We stretch imaginations through inquiry and dialogue to arrive at ideas for what could be while exploring more inspired and harmonious ways of living on Earth through our salons, gallery shows, and social media events.

Connections

Through a variety of means, scales and locales our Projects manifest experiences that connect humankind to the wholeness of Earth. Each project, large or small, temporary or permanent focuses on making visible the relationship of culture to nature and encouraging everyone’s  commitment to finding better and more sustainable ways of living on the Earth.
