IRS990EZ/PrimaryExemptPurpose0Our mission is to provide education and research into the nature of consciousness and its relationship to our mental, emotional and spiritual well being. A corollary commitment is to explore the creative arts and their potential role as a means for generating self-awareness and personal growth.
IRS990EZ/PrintingPublicationsPostage0334
IRS990EZ/ProgramServiceAccomplishment/DescriptionProgramServiceAccom0The concept of an in-life retreat center was born out of our changing lifestyles that leave little time for inner reflection and personal growth. By offering ongoing classes and workshops in Palo Alto, people can practice more frequently and bring this learning into their daily lives. The methods used, such as experiential exercises, sharing of examples and real life applications also help to integrate the work done in class into all aspects of the students' lives. Thus, this center is an in-life retreat in time, location and experience.The practices themselves are designed to be taken into daily life by including experiential and intellectual learning in an approach, which integrates the mind, body and spirit. Another aspect of this practical application, is the focus on process as opposed to content, which encourages original and continuing evolution. Different learning needs and stages of growth are addressed through the core classes and workshops which include Becoming Self-Aware, Cultivating the Inner Life, Creative Play and Energy Tapping (EFT). These approaches use conceptual and experiential learning, meditation practices, experimental creativity and energy work to explore and learn.
