Welcome to the Positive Science Center
Greetings from Kentopia! After many miracles we have finished this fabulous Log Cabin! You are welcome to come visit our Center or see the various programs and events we are planning.
SPONSORS… I am giving away a case of Veuve Clicquot Champagne to the person who helps us obtain a major donation (over $5K) because you know we are only 6 degrees of separation away from that Special Sponsor… So please connect us… but we appreciate your support in any amount… maybe you can help too!
We must raise another $65,000 to maintain our yearly budget. Please help us raise any money or gift is most welcome. Any donation is appreciated but if you can connect us with a wealthy donor who sponsors our project we will give you a case of great champagne to celebrate! So far, you can see we have a big cabin standing tall working on the inside details now.
You are invited to join the Founding Circle of Friends – Any Donation will serve the Greater Good for a long time! And you will forever enjoy the privileges and discounts for joining our group!

Details of the Capital Fund Drive
Through the past 4 years, we have raised over $645,000, which includes a construction loan from a local bank for $400,000 to build the large Log Cabin on the 5 acres that we purchased only 1 hour north of Manhattan.
The founder and leader of this project is John Ryder whom you know and can count on because he has dedicated his life to promote positive energy and is in the process of actualizing his vision of this center. We have initiated our first capital fund drive to raise $1 million to build our center and sponsor the various activities and educational programs. Every dollar counts. The center we built cost approximately $640,000 and will serve the community for perpetuity. So any investment, large or small will work forever into the future. The truth is that I am the largest contributor with respect to cash and time invested, and I am 100% committed.
From Vision to Reality: The first phase of this project is completed. Now we are ready to start operating the center. This center will be open to YOU as a retreat to visit, study, rest, have fun and recharge your mind, body and spirit.
This Cabin has a huge Great room for events with 4 bed rooms and 4 baths for a total of 3000 sq ft of space all with a view of the lake.
Gifts for Your Generosity:
We successfully completed the construction of the Cabin and now we will offer visitors Bed & Breakfast accommodations with overnight events to allow for a more immersive experience with positive psychology. When there are no scheduled events we can enjoy the company of guests who have supported us in the past. There are many things we want to offer you, access to our accumulating educational materials, workshops and of course visiting our center. Here are a few “gifts” we want to share with our contributors.
