About Us

What is Capstone House?

Capstone House is a nonprofit, multifaceted, learning and research organization dedicated to expanding the mind and consciousness, the development of extraordinary human potential, and exploring the metaphysical nature of all life and the cosmos using both academic and frontier knowledge including new science, new energy, space and extraterrestrial studies.

Our purpose is the study, research, development and dissemination of philosophical, psychological, psychic, ecological, and other newly developing scientific and metaphysical knowledge effecting life everywhere. These studies are related to all areas of knowledge including mind, body and spirit. We seek to apply this knowledge to advance human potential and serve community needs through educational activities open to the public.

Because of the dynamic nature of Capstone House, we are an association of people from all walks of life that share common interests from the very practical such as ecology, nutrition, health and longevity, to space travel and anomalous phenomena, to the philosophical such as metaphysical and the psychic realm.

Our Beginning

Capstone House, Inc. was founded in October, 1989 by a small group of explorers in the Panama City, Florida area who were seeking to raise consciousness and expand the mind. From this beginning the Philosophical Lecture Series was initiated, and it is the hub from which other activities have developed. On December 5, 1990, Capstone House, Inc. was established as a nonprofit corporation, under the laws of the state of Florida.
