Our Mission

The Cobb Institute promotes a process-relational worldview to advance wisdom, harmony, and the common good, and cultivates local initiatives to bring about an ecological civilization. These aims will be accomplished by fostering creative transformation through educational development, community collaboration, sustainable practices, and spiritual integration.

The Cobb Institute is part of a family or process-relational organizations affiliated with the Center for Process Studies and the International Process Network.
