PROMEMORIA

Makronova Institute was established in 2002, but its history reaches much further into the past. All the programmes that Institute is currently providing have been a part of the Makronova Centre programme – The Makronova Centre is an educational centre within the Society for the Improvement of Quality of Life established in 1998.

Our mission is to create awareness and conditions for the holistic approach to life to grow into a unique culture of living. Means of accomplishing this mission is through a concept of personal ecology that refers to the fact that healthy individual is a prerequisite of the healthy environment, and emphasizes the importance of a better quality communication.

The main goal of the Makronova Institute programme is bringing natural and healthy lifestyles closer to the public. Our primary aim is to help people develop self-confidence and awareness necessary for taking responsibility of health and life in general. By establishing an open and sincere communication channel and showing how much we care, we would like to create a special and easily recognizable milieu and to motivate people to attend different educational programmes in our centre.

Our team is made up of experienced and spirited teachers and programme facilitators - professionals in their field of work and living. We also provide certificated programmes. (One of the programmes we are very proud of is the International Shiatsu School that educates shiatsu practitioners. The school was established 12 years ago.)

The Makronova Institute has become a place where experiences from all over the world meet. Even during the war, when our normal daily routine was seriously threatened, the Makronova Centre was working at full speed and became a small and peaceful oasis; at least people were saying so.

Thousands and thousands of people learned first information on natural diet and a way of living in accordance with the nature here. Masao Miyayi, Ruth Peitz, Anne Winter, Aveline Kushi, Michio Kushi, Danny Waxman, Edmund Reininger, Naboru Muramoto, Tomio Kikuchi, William Spear, Shizuko Yammamoto, David & Cynthia Briscoe, Jon Sandifer, Tara Fraser, Anne Wilson Schaeff, Claudia Kirschmayr, Christina Pirello, Carol Anthony, Marilyn Glenville and many other great lecturers held excellent lectures and seminars in our premises. Our guests were also globally famous personalities, such as David Byrne, a musician and artist, Paul Winter, an actor and a celebrity musician, Georgia Kelly, the first lady of the new age music, Guo Brothers Duo, and many others. The Makronova Institute has become the place where roads of many people cross and it seems as if it has become one of the «centres of the world».

The Makronova Institute has directed its efforts towards the education of fellow citizens, as well as restaurant and health professionals, in the field of healthy and balanced nutrition. (More than 25.000 people attended various seminars and courses in the Institute!) That way, it provides means of accomplishing a better quality of life for individuals, and at the same time creates positive influence that will last and penetrate deeper and deeper into every level of society.

The Makronova Institute, through its programmes, promotes healthy and natural lifestyle, non-violence, organic and biological cultivation, healthy nutrition, natural health care, environmental awareness, quality communication, and... many other positive things that bring people closer to the nature!

However, the Makronova Institute has not finished its job yet – there are still many surprises and changes which should bring joy and happiness to all the people who were with us all these years, as well as to the others that are still to come and meet us for the first time.
