The Strengthening Health Institute (SHI) is a non-profit educational organization offering a variety of instructional programs centering on Macrobiotic Lifestyle and Health. It is known for its practical approach to “demystifying” macrobiotics, its emphasis on changing direction from sickness to health (or simply maintaining good vibrant health), and the importance it places on creating balance in one’s life.
It's foundation program is the "Strengthening Health Intensive". For those with an interest in developing strong macrobiotic cooking skills, SHI's "Cooking Intensives" provide real hands-on culinary experience. Programs that follow and extend these foundation-building courses are: The year long “Comprehensive Certificate Program” and the “Continuing Macrobiotic Education Program”.
