Founded in 2005, Institute of Awakened Mutuality (IAM) offers educational opportunities for a growing community of people devoted to ever-growing embrace of all that they are.
IAM teachers share a commitment to the basic values of Waking Down in Mutuality, such as empathy, clear communication, respect for the embodied existence of each unique being, and a desire to serve the growth of others.
We function as a collective of peers, interdependent with larger concentric circles of volunteers, donors, trainees, graduates, teachers, and friends. Together we create a web that structures the work of IAM.
The Institute of Awakened Mutuality addresses three essential needs.
- The first is the need to connect with our essence— the Self, the Soul, God, Being, the source of inner peace, joy, and love. This eternal human need is especially urgent today, when many of us feel frazzled, rushed, fragmented, and our world is at a critical juncture.
- The second is our need for community, for meaningful connection with others, and for the adventure of authentic relationship grounded in deep self-knowing.
- The third is the inherent evolutionary impulse for ongoing human development, which is catalyzed by self-study and the rock tumbler polish of human interaction that yields personal and collective transformation.
Our work supports you to discover your true nature, your conditioning, your creative expression, and your unique form of service. In addition to teaching valuable skills applicable throughout your life, we support you to move through the specific challenges and unique features of your own inner and outer landscape.
We specialize in creating spaces that are conducive to opening hearts, healing wounds, and fostering mutual understanding and co-evolution.
Our programs include presentations, discussion and processing in both large and small group formats, and non-verbal integrative activities such as meditation, gazing, communion with nature, and somatic resourcing.
