We work with small and large organizations to teach and implement the Butterflies Method across the United States.
Scroll down to see several suggested initiatives where we partner with various organizations to initiate and support transformation. We look forward to strategizing, prioritizing, and planning with organizations that are ready for change. Here are three examples of how we can support such initiatives on a project basis or on an hourly basis:
Demonstration Program Strategies
We can provide expert guidance to organizations wanting to implement the Butterflies Method framework with a sub-population. For example, we can work with government departments or health plans to develop demonstration programs, test effectiveness, and scale the infrastructure for larger roll-outs.
Partnership Collaborations
We can bring multiple organizations together to facilitate and develop approaches to how to further implement the Butterflies Method. For example, we can advise across selected health plan leadership, government, and actuaries on how to collect data and model healthcare cost reductions.
Regular and Customized Workshops
We can customize our regular workshops to tailor them for specific organizations (e.g., employers, community groups, gyms) which bring many employees/people together to focus on specific sections of the Butterflies Method framework. For example, we can work with an association of yoga teaching facilities to expand their Ayurveda curriculum to include the Butterflies Method framework via customized workshops.
