Anthropedia Foundation

The Anthropedia Foundation is a nonprofit health education foundation led by a council of experts from the fields of medicine, art, psychology, philosophy, and education. Members of the council collaborate to take scientifically-based practices from their fields and integrate them into a comprehensive approach to well-being.
Approach
Anthropedia creates personal development resources and health education programs and videos. These resources and programs are used by schools, physicians, counselors, and individuals who seek to augment their health and well-being. The foundation also collaborates with organizations to customize educational and therapeutic programs to their needs.
Projects
Anthropedia develops, produces, and disseminates personal development resources and health education programs for individuals and groups.
The SophiLife Collection
Drawing its name from the Greek word sophia, meaning "wisdom," the SophiLife Collection offers educational programs to promote well-being. The Know Yourself DVD series is a step-by-step guide to well-being that integrates methods from various scientific fields. Each 40-minute DVD focuses on concepts and exercises that foster calmness, self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and mind-body health. The first part of the series, Exploring Your Personality, was released in December 2008.
The SophiArte Collection
The SophiArte Collection offers films, music, and literature designed to help audiences develop self-awareness and deepen their appreciation of art and culture. The To You, Being of the Future DVD series blends documentary and narrative filmmaking to explore a selection of historical figures. Part I of the series, Leonardo da Vinci: Universal Genius, explores the accomplishments of the Italian artist and scientist.
Project Rebirth
The Anthropedia Foundation and Project Rebirth are partnering to create an educational program to help students understand the long-term effects of 9/11 and learn positive ways to cope.
