Seguinland Institute

Our mission is to create transformative programs in which our students clarify their vision of the good life and discern their work for the good of all. We seek to engage the whole person, integrating college-level academics with immersion in nature, the creative arts, a back-to-the-land ethos, mentorship opportunities and mindfulness. We strive to be a place where students can cultivate the knowledge, the inner resources, and the skills necessary to nourish the communities to which they belong and build a more beautiful, just and sustainable world. Our hope for our students is nothing less than personal thriving, community-oriented living, and the well being of the planet.

Our team is comprised of scholars, boat builders, artists, musicians, contemplatives, back-to-the landers, treehouse builders and education-reformers. We aim to influence the direction of higher education, to be a model for a new generation of schools, and to bend our existing institutions toward immersive whole-person programs that foster inquiry into the good life.
