Pseads (“seeds”) is a global research and design institute focused on the human condition, and operates on the principle that every problem and every solution the world faces is with the human being. We are committed to creating the conditions for human beings to find needed solutions, whether to issues of education, health, economics, sustainability, or social cohesion, and in ways that cultivate stability, cooperation, innovation, and happiness.We create customized, multimedia, learning, and leadership projects with students of all ages, from elementary school, middle school and high school, to college, medical school, adult education, as well as with administrators and faculties, business teams, and healthcare professionals. All of our programs include multiple ways of knowing, and are designed to offer direct experiences of expanded perception and the conditions for dexterity, poise, confidence and creative expression. We take disciplines like science and poetry out of their silos, not just by integrating them in a single conversation, but by creating experiences of their shared root, and the ripple of this awareness for the way we learn, develop technology, practice medicine, and think about leadership.
