The Vesica Institute is dedicated to creating a New, Universal Spiritual Science. We provide access to hidden knowledge & practices from multiple world traditions, described clearly and concisely -- with the "veils" removed. The Vesica Institute offers training and resources in ancient & modern holistic sciences. We live in a time of the unprecedented release of information from spiritual traditions and researchers all over the world - however much of this information is fragmented, distorted, or of questionable value. Our mission at Vesica is to collect the highest level of essential knowledge and practices from the world’s great spiritual traditions -- and from modern holistic science researchers -- to illuminate little-known solutions to the most serious spiritual, health, and environmental challenges we face today. The Vesica Institute has been created to help empower seekers like yourself with clear and concise presentations of essential information, to save you years of searching through the confusing mass of material available today. Our live and online trainings serve thousands of students living on six continents. Come discover all the ways our resources can help to empower you in your personal journey! Dr. Robert J.
