Our Purpose

Welcome to the Coyote Institute's Website.  We are a not-for-profit corporation under Section 501c3 of the U.S. Tax Code.

Our interest is in change and transformation across biological and natural systems.  Many of us are involved in the fields of medicine and psychology, so that may give us the appearance of being focused in these areas, but we are not.  If you are a physicist or engineer, interested in how change occurs in any process, join us!

Coyote is our muse, because Coyote is one powerful North American symbol for change and transformation.  Coyote's job is to intervene when any system gets rigid and inflexible, providing the input (perturbation) to move the system toward transformation (to shift a system into a new attractor basin).  Coyote is the only species in North America spreading into every habitat.  Plus Coyote is just downright fun.  Change and transformation can be humorous and counter-serious.

We have a guiding Council of seven individuals.  We have Teaching Associates and Research Associates.  We do not provide clinical care, but focus on teaching and research.  Within our educational program, we offer individualized approaches to learning life and stress management, stress reduction, self-healing.  Our healing camps provide opportunities for individuals to learn to be healing as well as experience healing.

Our current ongoing programs are:

1.  The Center for Narrative Studies in which we offer a four-year Post-Graduate Training Program in Narrative Studies for Health Professionals with quarterly courses, mentoring activities, and other opportunities to narrativize your practice.

2.  Ongoing research in New York City on the effects of teaching reiki healing to disadvantaged and marginalized populations.

3.  An ongoing consultational relationship with aboriginal health cooperatives in Australia to make their health care more imbued with their culture.

We wish to further a paradigm shift within medicine, psychiatry, and psychology toward aligning with indigenous knowledge systems and providing healing activities more in line with what traditional cultures have offered. We are interested in the new science that is not the same old, same old linear boredom of Newton and conventional statistics, but that uses complexity theory and quantum physics concepts to explore our world, and, more importantly, to find ways to help each other to heal and to grow and change.
