The Helen Graham Park Foundation
is a non-profit organization established in 1994  to
honor the life of Helen Graham Park, a successful international
architect and life-long student of consciousness, healing and
the mind-body connection. Mrs. Park worked closely with C.V.
Starr, an international insurance magnate and philanthropist
with strong ties to East and South East Asia. In her free time,
she devoted herself to the study of cross-cultural models of
consciousness including Jungian psychology, quantum physics,
Buddhism, and the medical traditions of China, Persia, India
and Tibet. Mrs. Park maintained an avid interest in Tibetan Buddhism
and spent a year in India in the 1940’s collaboratively
researching Tibetan medical texts with her partner Theos Bernard,
an internationally acclaimed scholar of India and Tibet and a
pioneer in the study of Hatha yoga. She left behind an extensive
archive of writings and personal papers documenting her exploration
of consciousness and healing and exemplifying, through her own
life-story, the potential for humans to heal themselves physically,
emotionally, and spiritually. These papers articulate a powerful
and prescient vision of bringing the modern sciences into meaningful
dialogue with the ancient wisdom traditions of the world to help
humanity resolve the challenges of this era. |
