Description
It’s important in times like these to stay informed, grounded, and whole. That’s what Prairie Oaks Institute is all about. We’re a place of quiet rest--and stimulating ideas. A place to reconnect with the earth, with others, with the sacred and with ourselves. Our programs and resources are about connections among the three "circles of focus."

Education & Leadership Development to foster expansive imagination, bold thinking, sound leadership, and wise action for the common good:

As these circles of focus intersect, it’s about exploring the inner and outer landscapes of our lives. It’s about reconnecting soul and role, to live, work and lead from within for the sake of the common good.
Prairie Oaks Institute is a unique place...a conversation...an experience...a vision.
