- to recognize and develop a true partnership of man and woman,
- to recognize the unity and interdependence of all human beings and all life,
- to aid in the practical realization of living in harmony with our fellow beings and the natural world.
Our principal means shall be:
- to develop educational programs in spiritual psychology and practice,
- to sponsor intercultural retreats in various locations around the world,
- to publish books and periodicals that further the purposes mentioned above,
- and to facilitate the travel and exchange between cultures of people of wisdom and knowledge.
