The Raven Foundation reads and studies current events, books, movies, politics, business, sports and family life through the lens of mimetic theory in order to create educational resources for everyday use by teachers, government officials, attorneys, executives, religious professionals, therapists, parents and others who have an interest in resolving conflict with justice and peace.

Among our resources are curricula, study guides, summaries of presentations, and books by experts on mimetic theory and its everyday applications. The book, The Wicked Truth: When Good People Do Bad Things, authored by Raven Foundation co-founder Suzanne Ross, makes use of the characters and language provided by the smash Broadway musical, Wicked, to introduce the concepts of myth, scapegoating, violence and acquisitive desire.

We make Suzanne or other guest speakers available to schools and other organizations through our Speakers’ Bureau. We also offer workshops, sponsor events and participate in major conferences worldwide. Visit our Projects section to find what we're working on now.
