PROGRAMS AND CLASSES
In today's world of online technology platforms, the loss of person-to-person, heart-to-heart experiential learning is becoming common place. At the Institute of Loving (IOL), we value gathering together in conscious community where an intimate classroom promotes human interaction and honest Soul-centered education. All of our offerings are intended to inspire heightened states of body balance, mental clarity, heart wisdom and equanimity. All instructors have decades of experience in their fields and stand in integrity and a heartfelt desire to promote radiant wellness for all. We also offer healing arts services grounded in a sincere desire to help humans reclaim their freedom of joy, confidence, agility and deep respect for life.

The time has come to rise up and address the areas of our minds and bodies that are not in alignment with our Soul's Purpose for being alive! This time in global history is the dawning of the Age of Awareness. And that starts within our own Self. Foundations of Spiritual Psychology I is a progressive, 6-month intensive that gives students a life-enhancing opportunity to explore their inner terrain using Spiritual Psychology principles and skills. Participants gain valuable, real- life tools that help to transform ego-based living into Soul referenced reality. Students learn how to: come into loving resonance with who they are, recognize the Light within themselves and others, communicate more consciously and effectively, release old patterns of judgement, shift out of the negative mind, and navigate life with more grace, joy, abundance and authenticity. And most importantly, graduates of this intensive will begin the process of residing in their natural and pure state of Loving as a regular response to life! Class meets one weekend per month beginning January and completing in June. Facilitators for this program are: Siddiqa Salter and Maria Ashirah

The definition of rewilding is to return land back to its natural and pure state or to reintroduce animals back to their natural habitat. As humans, we have evolved from living slow, nature-based, rhythmic lives to becoming fast paced, industrialized, technology-driven people. The rewilding of humans is not about returning to our former hunter-gatherer ways but about re-establishing connectivity to the natural world. Humans are not thinking machines but intuitive, organic companions to nature and Her cosmic ways. Participants of the Nature Medicine and Human Rewilding Program will learn: intuitive practices for awakening inner knowing, animism and how it impacts the truth of life, ancestral skills and Shamanic healing practices, spiritual aromatherapy, how to form intimate bonds with the plants and trees, how to reclaim the expansive nature of the mind and release fear, worry and doubt, and how to re-establish authentic movement in the body temple. This is a seasonal course of study, that begins in June and completes next March. There are 4 weekend intensives that meet with the seasons and one Skype call a month between weekend classes. Much of the classroom study is experienced outside, in protected natural settings, where nature entrainment takes place and the experience of rewilding can occur. Facilitators of this program are: Siddiqa Salter and Marianne Mitchell.

Which program is for me?
Foundations of Spiritual Psychology I is a personal growth program that teaches valuable skills and practices to improve our personal lives, careers, communication effectiveness and how joyfully we respond to life. Spiritual Psychology principles benefit psychotherapists, counselors, life coaches, massage therapists, energy workers, yoga and fitness instructors, teachers, managers, executives, health care practitioners, and those interested in improving their relationship with themselves and others. This course of study will bring you more into your Light body and will guide you into living more from your Soul line while having more compassion for yourself and others when coming from the ego line. It is truly a gift of grace and knowledge that will quite literally change your life. It is a foundational must for anyone committed to bringing more Light and Loving into the world and for all interested in healing consciousness.
Nature Medicine and Human Rewilding is for people desiring a more intimate and profound relationship with the natural world. This program helps to re-establish your connectivity with your body, your intuition, the plant and tree kingdom, ancestral knowledge, Shamanic practices, and your life force. Nature Medicine and Human Rewilding will benefit anyone feeling disconnected, like they don't belong, different from those who live in the 'box', in need of sourcing from something bigger and more expansive than one's self and all Mother Earth lovers. This is an exquisitely beautiful course of study that attunes you to the cosmic rhythms of life and ignites your juicy, alive, joy-filled, peaceful true self.
