Serendipity Projects

Success Stories

The Marion Institute is dedicated to identifying, promoting and incubating programs and projects that seek to enhance life for the Earth and its inhabitants.

Some of these initiatives – which we have entitled Serendipity Projects – may be large or small, global or local in scope.

We are proud that many of our Serendipity Projects have transformed into their very own non-profit and our relationship has matured into that of a success story. We are honored to have worked with so many amazing individuals on the ground and are delighted to share a few of our success stories with you.

Energy Medicine

Emma Bragdon, PhD raised funds to complete her second film in a series on Energy Medicine, titled "Spiritism" and also to create a not-for-profit foundation, write articles and a chapter for a medical school textbook about Spiritism, and develop more educational and research opportunities for those interested in spiritual healing in Brazil.

ZERI Learning

Behavior is, after all informed by education. The Zero Emissions Research Initiative [ZERI] is based on the scientific understanding that in nature everything is interconnected and nothing is wasted. It has become clear, that unless we begin to adapt human behavior so that it replicates the efficiency and innovations of natural systems that surround us, we are bound to fail in our quest to create a sustainable and restorative society.
