Applied programs

Programs that translate research into practice

Our Applied Programs Division takes what the research finds and builds it into training people can actually do. One program is running today. Two more are on the way, and neither launches without the Ethics Committee's approval. Here is where each one stands, stated plainly.

Cognitive skill development

MindWorkIn

In pilot

MindWorkIn is the program you can join today. It trains attention, perceptual calibration, decision quality, and awareness of your own thinking, through live morning sessions every day plus structured practices for the rest of it.

The first year works with 200 participants. The number is deliberate: small enough to measure honestly, large enough for the findings to mean something.

What we measure, declared before we started

Decision clarity, self-reported
Attention regulation, measured with cognitive tasks
Metacognitive accuracy, through calibration tests
Overall wellbeing, with validated measures

Tuition follows a sliding scale based on income, with scholarships available. Any surplus funds research.

Emotional regulation & skill-building

Emotional Architecture

In design · Year 2

A multi-week curriculum that teaches emotional life as a set of learnable skills. It follows the four practices of the framework it takes its name from:

Recognition:: naming what is felt.
Regulation:: adjusting intensity without suppressing it.
Inquiry:: understanding what the emotion is communicating.
Integration:: turning that understanding into action.

The pilot is planned for the institute's second year, and it begins only if the Independent Ethics Committee approves the protocol. That order will not be reversed.

Relationship science

Intentional Partnering

In research · Year 3

A program for adults weighing a long-term partnership, planned for development across our third year. The curriculum is still being researched. The five practices it will train are already set:

Values articulation:: clarifying what you actually want in a partnership.
Self-knowledge:: understanding your attachment style, habits, and repeated patterns.
Compatibility evaluation:: assessing alignment on values, life goals, and relational skills.
Communication skill:: building the conversations a partnership requires.
Decision discipline:: choosing a partner deliberately rather than by default.

Explicit non-goals

A name like ours invites assumptions, so we keep this list in writing:

No matchmaking service, and no matching algorithm.
No genetic matching of any kind.
No reproductive program and no reproductive guidance.
No claim that romance can be engineered away, or that partnership can be reduced to a checklist.

Access

Nobody is priced out

Every IHE program charges on a sliding scale: you pay according to your income, and scholarships cover the distance that remains. If the price is the obstacle, tell us, and we will find the number that works.

When a program earns more than it costs, the surplus funds research. That is the whole loop: tuition sustains the studies that make the next program possible.

Read the evidence behind the programs

Each program stands on a published framework, and each framework states plainly what it does not claim. And since scholarships run on donations, you can put someone in a seat who could not pay for it.
