ABOUT HIDDEN PEARLS HEALING CENTER
Hidden Pearls Healing Center (HPHC) is a Holistic Education Agricultural Learning Institute for a New Generation (HEALING). HPHC works with middle schools and high schools in New York State to co-plan project based and hands-on learning opportunities with students and their families. HPHC is located on four acres in Chenango Forks, New York. HPHC is currently in the process of forming a cooperatively owned agriculture and education center on 52 acres across the street.
At the core, HPHC is about putting academic subjects into practice and showing students how their academic subjects apply to their lives in the real world. Each product we produce, moreover, is designed in a regenerative way with students and their families, honors the highest ethical principles of ecological design, and is meant to prepare students for life after high school - whether that be college or work.
