All of our classes, courses of study, and community service projects embrace a spiritually inspired purpose. Spirituality is the unifying essence of being that gives shape and meaning to life. "It is characterized by unfolding mystery, interconnectedness and inner strength. Spirituality permeates all of life and is manifested in one’s being, knowing, and doing. It is expressed and experienced uniquely by each individual through and within connections to God/Life Force/the Absolute, the environment, nature, other people, and the self. Spirituality shapes the self-becoming and is reflected in one’s being, knowing, and doing." ~Margaret Burkhardt and Mary Nagai-Jacobson.
Classes and Courses
Classes
and courses of study contribute to our
shared journey toward higher consciousness by encouraging participants
to utilize the wisdom of higher consciousness in the development of
classes, retreats, and courses of study. Each area of focus is
supported by classes, conversational salons, lectures, seminars,
forums, courses of study and retreats. Educational
activities are conducted by individuals with extensive knowledge and
training in their subject. Local, National, and Global Service Projects
Service projects are
created by the members of each group and are supported by the entire
membership. When creating service projects, individuals align their purpose and goals, and
collaborate with others in order to create projects with the potential
of making a significant difference. This process advances the
exploration of group creativity and the dynamics of group work.
Projects that result from these endeavors are of valuable service to
the local, national, and world community. Additionally, these areas of focus are a laboratory in which participants hone
their ability to act in conscious cooperation with others, thus
supporting a growing sense of community. When beneficial to the
mission of the Institute For Global Transformation®, we also collaborate and partner with other
individuals and organizations.please click on the individual Branches of Service buttons
