The Training & Community You Need
For a Soul-Centered Life & Workplace
Announcing the Fall Contemplative Retreat in Pecos New Mexico October 31 -Nov. 4: Practicing Compassion: Finding Joy
Why Soul-Centered?
"Here we are mainly concerned with the “soul” as the shaping spirit within any vital process. These, the inner spirit and the outer form, are two distinctive ways of a single mode of being. In considering the soul of the future, I am concerned with the inner vision that we need if we are to make the intellectual, social, economic, and religious adjustments required for a viable future."
Thomas Berry, The Great Work: Our Way into the Future
Thomas Berry recognized the importance of inner development for meeting today’s challenges. On a global scale, we are facing widening gaps across financial, social, spiritual and ecological areas. Repairing these divides requires that we grow in awareness of who we are and what role we can play in creating new possibilities where all humans can flourish.
Such work calls for “soul-centered life and leadership”—that is, life and leadership that are attuned to both “the inner spirit and the outer form.” That is why we have created The Institute for Soul-Centered Life and Leadership.

"Patty’s classes and workshops are both informative and stimulative of fresh thinking and new insights. Drawing from a rich variety of interspiritual resources, academic research and real-life experiences, she encourages a collaborative learning environment for those on the spiritual quest who also seek to join others in making the world a better place for all people everywhere."

“Hillary's quiet, confident, joyful way of interacting with others creates an inviting, non-threatening space. She listens intently - I think seeking to hear both what is being said and the unspoken words that hang in the air. Sitting with her, I experience the freedom to express my truth, discern what is most important to me, and confront my shadow. I often leave the meeting feeling as if I have come home to myself.”
Linda Bourianoff
“Patty presents a world of information in a concise, relatable and accessible way. Her depth of knowledge, pulled from many spiritual traditions, literature, and science enables her to incorporate a variety of resources in a way that fosters insight and growth. Patty is deeply compassionate and listens FULLY without judgment, creating an atmosphere of trust and community.”
Colleen Winter
“I have found Patty to be a very skilled, competent, caring leader/facilitator, who has a keen ability to listen with her heart and respond from a reservoir of deep knowledge. She is intimately familiar with a vast literature of spiritually relevant thinkers. Always her intent is to lead us into deeper understanding of life and ourselves and to enable us to see the connections between all things."
Linda Bourianoff
“I was a practicing litigation attorney and father of four searching for a deeper spiritual connection and a more personal compass to navigate my moral dilemmas. From that time until now Patty has become and remained an essential guide. Through programs and retreats she has designed and led and one to one spiritual guidance she has offered me, she has remained a light on my path.”
