The mission of the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine is to lead the transformation of healthcare by creating, educating & actively supporting a community of professionals who embody the philosophy & practice of Integrative Medicine. The Center defines integrative medicine (IM) as healing-oriented medicine that takes account of the whole person (body, mind, and spirit), including all aspects of lifestyle.  The Center was founded by Dr. Andrew Weil.

Since its inception, the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine has focused its efforts on three domains: education, clinical care, and research - with the primary emphasis on education. It offers a broad range of educational opportunities for healthcare professionals with an interest in learning and practicing the principles of integrative medicine and emphasizes the therapeutic relationship, making use of all appropriate therapies, both conventional and alternative.

Dr. Weil’s overall philosophy is that the health of the planet needs to be taken as seriously as individual health.

The Biomimicry Institute's mission is to nurture and grow a global community of people who are learning from, emulating, and conserving life's genius to create a healthier, more sustainable planet.

Biomimicry (bios meaning life; mimesis meaning to imitate) is the practice of developing sustainable technologies inspired by ideas from Nature. The core idea is that nature, imaginative by necessity, has already solved many of the problems we are grappling with. Energy efficient buildings inspired by passive cooling in termite mounds and non-toxic fabric finishes inspired by water repellant lotus plants are examples of biomimicry changing our world today.

The Diablo Trust was formed in 1993 by the Metzger Family, owners of the Flying M Ranch, and the Prosser Family, owners of the Bar T Bar Ranch, to create a collaborative process for developing ideas to assist ranches in the protection of open spaces and healthy habitats.  The trust comprises the two ranch properties and adjoining federal lands that occupy an area approximately as large as metropolitan Phoenix.  The trust operates in partnership with the federal government to "demonstrate innovative approaches to restore and maintain the natural processes that create and protect a healthy, unfragmented landscape to support a diverse flourishing community of human, plant and animal life in the Diablo Trust land area."

"Our mission is to protect Endangered Forests. The ForestEthics Approach is based upon the conviction that corporate power can be used to destroy forests--or protect them.

Future Farmers is a group of artists, researchers, designers, architects, scientists and farmers founded in 1995 that are aligned through an open practice of making work that is relevant to the time and place surrounding us.

"We deconstruct systems such as food policies, public transportation and rural farming networks to visualize and understand their intrinsic logics.  Often through this disassembly we find new narratives and potential reconfigurations that propose alternatives to the principles that once dominated these systems.  Our work provides a playful entry point and tools for participants to gain insight into deeper fields of inquiry -- not only to imagine, but to participate in and initiate change in the places we live."

Members of the group teach in the visual arts graduate programs at the California College of Arts in San Francisco, Mills College in Oakland, and in the art and engineering programs at Stanford University.
