"The purpose of life is to realize our true nature—which is Love. To flourish is to be intentionally on the path toward this realization. Education illuminates the pathway of Love."

(Chaturvedi, Underwood & Gregory, 2025)

Since 2019, the Education for Flourishing project has been using an interdisciplinary approach to promote individual and community flourishing by translating research into everyday practice.

“To flourish is to fully and completely Love oneself and others.”

—Theodore Gregory, 2024
