How do you bring your most fantastic dreams to functional reality in chaotic times?

We believe creative, compassionate humans are the greatest renewable resource on the planet, and the solution to global challenges.

This is why we created NEI, to answer the call of creation. 

The creative process is the greatest catalyst for positive human development. The journey of the creator is one that takes us past all the little boxes and all the how it's done and all the excuses into the transcendent journey of our own fundamental capacity to contribute. Whether an art installation, a community, a new financial instrument, or a new form of clean energy, creating is healing and transformational for Self and Society.

We offer individual and group programs based on the transformative power of the creative process. Whether online or in-person, you will walk away from Nova Earth Institute programs inspired, encouraged, and empowered to engage your own creative powers to positively impact the world around you.

Our first priority is you. What is healing for one, is simultaneously healing for all. We are all in this together.

New
foundational programs

Over the course of the last year, Nova Earth Institute has been developing our new foundational program offering, the Embodied Creators Series. 

As we continue to grow, look for the launch of new programs such as masterclasses and symposiums, an incubator program for entrepreneurs and changemakers, a multidisciplinary residency, and new corporate and institutional programs catalyzing the creative power of communities and organizations.

new
international presence

We have relocated Nova Earth Institute’s headquarters to Croatia. This opens up new opportunities for us to reach a larger global audience. As travel becomes more feasible, we hope you will join us for retreats in the beautiful, medieval hilltown of Motovun or hosted locations throughout the United States and globally. 

Future plans for the new headquarters include a home in the Motovun Transformational Arts Center which will include studio spaces, a gallery space, meeting rooms, a library, and a shop.

New
ways to Participate

At the heart of the vision for Nova Earth Institute is a mission for a just society. In 2019, we became a fiscally sponsored project of Fractured Atlas. This provides opportunities for revenue through grants and tax deductible donations. Funding from these sources support the development of program offerings that can reach a more diverse audience and increase social impact.

It takes a village to make dreams come true. We are currently seeking to grow our village through volunteer opportunities.

Nova Earth Institute is a sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a non-profit arts service organization. Contributions for the charitable purposes of NEI must be made payable to “Fractured Atlas” only and are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.

Alysia

A wizard of the practical with a heart forged in Bear Medicine, she is a champion of the underdog and master of complex systems. Alysia is co-founder and Program Director of NEI, heading up the creation of programs and production for an international audience. In architecture, she is known as The Puzzler due to her uncanny ability to balance a wide variety of stakeholder needs in many dimensions simultaneously. And neatly. She shows her work. 

Alysia is a protector.    Her passion  is  providing  a  supportive  environment  for  others  to  find  their  creativity  and  discover  ideas  that  broaden  their  sense  of  themselves  and the  world.      

A professional  architect  by  training, she has worked on top performing arts projects around the globe for world class clients. A glass artist and a lifelong ballet dancer, her understanding of embodied presence through creativity, space, time, materials and consciousness is at the core of NEI programs.  

Originally inspired to build churches and theaters, she has put down the pencil in favor of what is most meaningful and memorable to her, the people.  Being  involved  with  people  in the act of creation is nourishing and inspiring to her soul and she thrives on contributing to that experience for others.  

Alysia is the official NEI cat lady and our first Baker in Residence. A registered introvert, she likes swimming in the sea, rock climbing and crunchy foods.
