Dear ITP Friends, Alumni and the Sofia Community:
As the signs of spring are upon us, we are called to new beginnings. This is a call to each of us as individuals, as well as to the institutions that we engage with over the course of our lives.
As the field of transpersonal psychology celebrates its 50th year, the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology Foundation revives its passion and commitment to furthering our pursuits of human possibilities. Even during the darkest days, we can rejoice in knowing that we are bringing light into the remotest corners of our world.
With that, I encourage you to join us for a unique event in order to celebrate our common work and gain support for our future endeavors.
The ITP Foundation Fundraiser and Concert
On April 7, we will partner with the El Camino Youth Symphony to create a Gala event at the Flint Center. The concert by ECYS is
a salute to American composers. The event features acclaimed jazz pianist Taylor Eigsti performing Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. Also joining ECYS is esteemed conductor Michael Morgan, narrator for Copland's Lincoln Portrait. For more information on the concert on ECYS, visit their website: www.ecys.org.
Prior to the spectacular concert, the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology will host an intimate reception, fundraiser, and silent auction. We will highlight some of our current work aimed at helping move humanity forward and honor two cherished faculty in their memory - Angeles Arrien and Frances Vaughn.
We have amazing items for the auction, including overnights at the Esalen Institute and Multiversity, a live musical performance for your personal event by acoustic guitarist Giovanni Mandala, signed books by masters in the field of transpersonal studies, vintage wine, special dinners with researchers and authors, and much more.
The ITP Foundation - Continuing to Move a More Compassionate and Interconnected World Forward
As newly-appointed Director of the Foundation, I am impassioned by new possibilities for our collective works and am excited to share with you some of the ways in which the ITP Foundation is helping to spread the illumination that comes when we recognize our fundamental interconnectedness.
Working hand-in-hand with students at the ITP College at Sofia University, the Foundation is building new areas for research and academic development. We are launching a new lab that will support our research dreams through the introduction of Virtual Reality technologies with a new study of the mind-matter interface. The lab also allows students to deepen investigations into transformation and heal at all levels of the self and society.
The excitement mounts and with your support, we know our dreams can become a reality.
With warmest best wishes for the New Year and always!
Marilyn Schlitz, PhD.
ITP Foundation Director
