The Kerulos Center programmes are directed at catalyzing human cultural change through active participation. While much of our work involves study, publication, and other educational material, we believe that real understanding, meaning making, and change come about through experience.
Our vision and mission are implemented through four interconnected programs:
Sanctuary
The Kerulos Animal Recovery and Education Sanctuary (KARES) is located in the Siskiyou mountains of southern Oregon, a healing center that focuses on severely traumatized animals. Sanctuary design and care are inspired by relevant research and the best of human knowledge.
Research
The Kerulos Center conducts research projects and other investigations designed to “see through the eyes of an animal”, to best serve their interests and needs. This research promotes animal psychological well-being and human-animal communication. Our publications and findings inform science, policy, and the public.
Drawing from Kerulos research and that of others, our education program includes a series of online courses, internships, and workshops on animal psychology, trauma recovery, animal-human communication, and related topics.
Service
The Kerulos Center offers a number of services to help people who help animals. The Resilience and Engagement for Animal Care and Healing (REACH) program offers trainings, consultations, and coaching to promote resilience and well-being in animal care organizations.
