About ALI It's Purpose and People

The Purpose of ALI is to assist people who aspire to release the truth and richness that exists at the depth of their being; and then support them during the often difficult process of using these newly discovered capacities to transform the way they live, play and relate to others. The result is that life becomes more satisfying, real, and intimately connected to an ever-widening circle of personal relationship, friendship, community appreciation, global awareness, and universal truth.

In pursuit of this purpose ALI provides a proven course of study and experiential learning activities delivered in weekend seminars, small group support meetings, and individual sessions. Since 1987, hundreds of students in the Pacific Northwest have benefited from the understanding and tools offered by ALI’s uniquely effective program for psycho-spiritual growth. Anyone can make these kinds of claims. In this case however, the truth is that over the years almost all of the people who have been attracted to the work had known and witnessed the actual transformation of friends and family who were already part of ALI – and wanted the same results in their own life.

The living presence of ALI – that which continually attracts grace to its members in the form of understanding, guidance, support and love – is made up of all the remarkable students mysteriously drawn together. Each one persistently demonstrating an extraordinary degree of courage and dedication to the truth. These individuals come from all walks of life, are of varying ages, and have vastly different backgrounds. What they share is the belief that a path of genuine healing and happiness is an inward journey – and arriving at their destination requires a good map, a trusted guide, and supportive friends along the way.

• Those feeling the excitement of something wanting to emerge in their life, yet being held back by old patterns that create inertia & stuckness
• Individuals whose lives seem to be running well, but feel unsettled – as if something important is missing
• Busy people feeling separated from a sense of inner peace, & contact with themselves
• Those committed to personal transformation who are currently experiencing an impasse to their growth
• Dedicated spiritual seekers searching for like-minded individuals who want to support each other’s personal journey into more authentic living
