Designed within Neo-Confucian principles of interconnected systems,

we held the first Investigation of Things in the summer of 2019 in Kerhonkson, NY. 15 folks gathered to reclaim a common silence and teach each other new skills.

New locations and programming begin 2020.

At the beginning of institution names come to be…

Once there are names,

One must know how to stop

One who knows when to stop does not become exhausted

I see that it cannot be done.

The world is a spirit vessel,

Which cannot be acted upon.
