The August Institute of Life Studies is an educational, transformational organization dedicated to changing lives and minds.



















"The August Institute of Life Studies is unique among educational institutions. We do not base our curriculum on molding a student to fit existing patterns of thought and ideology; instead, we allow the student to discover for themselves what and how they wish to study. In a very real sense, the student is not only his own teacher, but his own final exam."
From Know Thyself, Show Thyself, by Dr. Victor August

Roger Bindy
Business Manager
Roger Bindy found The Kiln just in time. During the mid and late eighties Roger was a broker for the Wall Street firm of HLDB. Money was his God and he made a lot of it. When approached by Dr. Victor August to manage the start-up of The Kiln, he became intrigued, and explored the Doctor's philosophies. After going through The Kiln, Roger realized that he had been wasting his time and his life. He agreed to become business manager for The August Institute of Life Studies and has been happy ever since.
