The future

SRI is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to promote sustainability at the most local levels through science and education. We have designed a diversified curriculum for elementary school children that integrates mindfulness training, movement, and other techniques to facilitate social competence and decrease stress levels. We want to help children learn to make calmer choices and better decisions.

Mindfulness education

The Butterfly Project is a sustainable research model that gives back to the community in many ways.

First, the development of Metamorphosis: Effective Thinking (grades 1-4) provides children with tools to make good decisions and gives our kids an opportunity to grow into their best selves.

Second, the data that is generated through the program will raise the awareness of both parents and educators to the importance of critical thinking skills, especially in a world advancing into uncharted territories of emerging technology.
​
Also, this research paradigm has intrinsic potential to spawn longitudinal studies in the fields of yoga, mind-body education, elementary education, sustainability, and more.

sustainability sciences

Yoga Classes, a Community Garden, and Bio-techture technologies installed within the "Living Model" at our facility provide an opportunity for the community to grow in its understanding of sustainability technologies from the most local levels of the mind and body to the the very building itself, and even the local environment.
