"The Future has an Ancient Heart"

The Pari Center for New Learning is located in the quiet hilltop village of Pari, some 25km south of Siena. It was created by F. David Peat and Maureen Doolan as a congenial location where people can think, learn, meet together, carry out their projects and enjoy the surrounding environment and community.

Its educational activities include courses and workshops held at Pari, extended learning programs and mentoring.
