An integral approach to health
The primary mission of Concord Institute is to promote greater self-reliance when it comes to achieving and maintaining optimal health and well-being. The secondary mission is to produce fundamental and significant shifts in human awareness to create new openings for growth and development.
The educational curriculum of the Concord Institute employs an integral model for health and well-being that encompasses wholefoods, culinary arts training, bodywork practices, self-inquiry, self-expression and the creative arts.
The Four Pillars of Our Work
Self-Inquiry
Our structured dialogue offers a transformational breakthrough in one’s way of experiencing life and opens a new possibility of being.
Wholefood Cooking
Learn to prepare delicious high quality natural foods that are appropriate to the seasons, not just for sensory enjoyment but as the foundation of your physical and mental health, aliveness and power.
Bodywork
Our bodywork classes are accessible to people of all abilities and bring an awareness and enjoyment of what it is to live in one’s body rather than just be driven from the mind.
Coaching
Coaching is a key part of our Integral Studies Basic Course and is also available as a stand-alone service.

I regained my power
The Integral Studies Course wove a new understanding from my mind into my body. It had been a long time since those two parts of me really connected. It allowed for a new way of thinking to develop into a new way of being. The three disciplines of dialogue, bodywork and cooking provided a day to day framework which created the room to recognise and be with old habits and patterns, as well as the strength to then control and manage them. I believe this course has helped me regain my power.

Life saver
The online Tensegrity series is a literal “life saver” for me, keeping me doing Tensegrity through the week with all the associated accompanying health and well-being benefits. Charlotte is a dedicated and passionate instructor.

I gently got in touch with my physical body
During this weekly rendezvous with my body, guided by the calming voice and clear instructions from Gregor, I gently got in touch with my physical self. The soft but fully engaged techniques of using my breath, muscles and joints kept me in balance with the hard and demanding way I use my body most of the time. After every session, I felt lighter and taller, as if more space is created. And thanks to the knowledge Gregor shares with us, I find myself filled with wonder at this ingenious system we call our body.

An experience that I would definitely recommend
Heart in a Pot helped me in keeping the momentum going after the cooking sessions of the Foundation Course. Chef Nicholas guided us, with knowledge and kindness, through every step of the preparation of a delicious hearty dinner that we then enjoyed all together. An experience that I would definitely recommend!!

Finding stillness and peace has been invaluable
I remember approaching the Foundation Course with a lot of hesitancy, questioning whether or not I felt ready to fully bring myself to the programme, whilst dealing with quite a lot of changes in my personal life. All I can say is that I am relieved that I signed up regardless and completed the programme. No matter what I had going on there was always space for me to be heard and accepted and that really shifted how I relate to myself and others. The opportunities the course created for me to gain a little more energy and strength were countless – through food, movement, breath work, silence, dialogue, just being. I found once I surrendered to the simple practices of the Foundation Course the benefits were undeniable. It has allowed me to find stillness and peace in my every day life, which for me has been invaluable.

The overwhelming fear, stress and fatigue have been replaced by calm, coherence and aliveness
Essentially the Coaching service turned my life inside out. Instead of fitting in a bit of well-being (bodywork, cooking, journaling) around my schedule, I now fit everything around a tailor-made structure where my well-being comes first. The difference this has made to my energy levels is astounding and has impacted every other area of my life. The overwhelming fear, stress and fatigue have been replaced by calm, coherence and aliveness. It was like having a compassionate but firm guardian Angel who helped me rebuild myself into a more solid, capable human being and has given me all the tools I need to deal more gracefully with being human.
