Vision & Mission

Vision: To be a globally aware service organization that fosters soul development through its study, practice, and teaching of a holographic model of leadership and group life.

Two Philosophical Tenets: The participation in one’s own healing process (self-transformation) and the willingness to extend unconditionally that healing to others through service.

Mission
As a volunteer, nonprofit, educational, and nonsectarian spiritual community dedicated to soul development, leadership, group life, and service, to develop and offer:

  • trainings in holographic leadership, organizational design, and group life for individuals and for organizations,
  • courses, workshops, and independent studies in psychospiritual development that support the practice of holographic leadership and group life,
  • trainings in peer support and leadership for high school students,
  • services and trainings in healing modalities that support individual health and wellbeing,

and to:

  • extend the Institute’s holographic philosophy and practices of leadership and group life through outreach activities, and
  • publish and distribute Institute books, training manuals, educational materials, and articles.

Founded in 1980, the Institute was incorporated in 1982 as an educational and spiritual organization. It is registered with IRS as a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization.

********
The Institute is financially dependent on income derived from workshop and training fees, personal contributions (tax-deductible), and fundraising events. Fees for courses, workshops, and trainings and other activities are found in the Institute’s Catalog.

The Institute views its services as adjuncts to traditional medical and mental health care. As such, IAS programs are not intended to be psychotherapy, medical therapy or a substitute for either one. Participants and volunteers are required to assume self-responsibility for their well-being by seeking, when appropriate, psychological and medical professional services. As co-partners in the program in which they are enrolled, participants are asked to set intentions, do assignments, respect IAS communication guidelines, and in all ways participate with self-responsibility for their well-being.
