Phuket International Academy Mind Centre (PIAMC), currently under construction, complements the work of the PIA Day School and the PIA Sports and Leisure Club, by focusing on the ideal of helping everyone concerned fully explore their inner resources to become the finest humans they can become. Emphasis will be placed on the dynamic interface between scientific and contemplative means of exploring the nature, origins, and potentials of human consciousness in order to more effectively address the personal, societal, and environmental challenges that face humanity today. The central theme of the centre is the cultivation of 'genuine happiness,' a kind of inner well being that stems from what we bring to the world in terms of our quality of life, mental health, and wisdom.
Over time, we anticipate holding training programmes in the PIA Mind Centre for students in the PIA Day School to help them cope with the challenges of modern life, enhance their mental health, and help them find genuine happiness in their daily lives. The Mind Centre will also work closely with the PIA Sports and Leisure Club, to help them achieve optimal performance in athletics combined while improving their overall sense of inner well being. While the Mind Centre will enrich the programmes of the other two centres, participants in the Mind Centre will benefit from insights pertaining to exercise and diet highlighted in the PIA Sports and Leisure Club. Scientific studies may also be conducted on the effects of the trainings offered in the PIA Mind Centre for education and athletics. Thus, the synergy among these three institutions will enhance the unique value of each one individually, and the combination will be without parallel anywhere else in the world.
