"You have no need
to go anywhere -
journey within yourself.
Enter a mine of rubies
and bathe in the splendor
of your own light."
~ Rumi

MISSION STATEMENT
A non-profit educational services organization, the Aspire Foundation has offered an innovative process supporting personal transformation since 1987. The heart of the Aspire program is a well-tested and nurturing experiential process which inspires participants to take total responsibility for the circumstances of their lives. Thus empowered and encouraged, growth accelerates and individuals move inevitably toward a state of harmony and integration – a state of grace.
Ultimately, the talents and resources of the Aspire Foundation are committed to bringing a healing, unifying Presence to life – individually, locally, and in the world community. Our service programs reflect our clear intention to educate, support and charitably assist humanity through these challenging, yet promising, transitional times.
In essence, the Aspire Foundation is a group of caring people who enjoy assisting others along the way to Self-realization.

ASSISTANT TEAM
Aspire is staffed and run by a team of volunteers who, having gone through the program, wish to give a year back of service, helping others on a similar journey. Unlike other programs, the team continues their own work and the relationship is one of co-journeyers rather than hierarchical teachers.
