Company Description: The Marion Institute

Founded in 1992, the Marion Institute is dedicated to identifying and promoting programs that seek to enhance life for the Earth and its inhabitants. We are committed to uniting people who want to heal the planet - and themselves - by encouraging a deeper understanding of the past, a dynamic experience of the present, and a passionate vision of a healthy future.

The Marion Institute introduces innovative models for creating deep and positive change, empowering individuals by connecting them to these programs, thus encouraging effective transformation. We believe that when individuals are offered practical and visionary solutions, they become inspired, realize their potential and will act to restore a healthier balance.

The Marion Institute is unique in the generous and diverse array of interest areas that we seek to cover. We believe in the essential interconnectedness of all things.

The Nobel Peace Committee apparently agrees with us. In 2004, they wisely bestowed the Nobel Peace Prize upon Wangari Maathai - founder of one of our long-sponsored programs, the Green Belt Movement. The Committee's decision boldly conveyed this very notion of interconnection; that the environment is linked directly to the concept of human rights which is, in turn, seamlessly connected to idea of peace.

We are also thrilled to be collaborating on groundbreaking Socially Responsible Investing projects with world-renowned environmentalist, author and entrepreneur, Paul Hawken.

We, at the Marion Institute, dedicate ourselves to the gathering and disseminating this information in hopes that our members become inspired, engaged, connected - and then seek to lend their support to this broad range of work. You may make a donation to support the goals of the Green Belt Movement, the Biological Medicine Network, Socially Responsible Investing or any of our other projects - or simply support the overall work of the Marion Institute.

In the meantime, we encourage you to keep reading, become more engaged, support the Marion Institute and join us in helping to heal the planet.

And if you're not already receiving our tremendous new e-newsletter, "Random Gleanings," we invite you to become a member of the Institute so that we may initiate your subscription, right away.
