Pseads Institute
Cultivating the heart of learning.
Pseads (“seeds") is an educational nonprofit energized by a love of people and planet, and by the core belief that how we learn becomes how we live. We design and facilitate educational programs and learning journeys for learners of all ages, including students, educators, administrators, and teams. We are deeply committed to holistic and integrative approaches to learning, and our programs are informed by over 20 years of research, practice, mentorship, and collaboration. At all levels, Pseads’ work weaves science, social-emotional learning, social justice, ecology, and the power of narrative.
Our mission is to partner with educators, students and communities to uplift the innate potential and wisdom in every human being, establish new foundations for social and environmental justice and care, and unleash innovation, hope and health. We are committed to reinvigorating classrooms of all kinds, building bridges between communities, nourishing new visions and voices, and advancing equity and inclusion in all aspects of learning. Welcome to Pseads, we’re so glad you’re here.
Join us Friday, December 6th, from 6:00 to 7:30pm at the new Sugarfoot Bookstore in downtown San Anselmo for an evening filled with warmth—complete with hot chocolate, tasty treats, and the glowing light of shared words and dreams.Â
Thank you to everyone who supported the Second Annual Harvest of the Heart!

Hope on the Rize is a writing and short filmmaking project for students in Grade 5 – college. It builds on classroom learning across subjects, and creates immersive and multi-dimensional experiences that are designed to be integrative and transformative for all students.
