The group process is one of the most consistently inspiring ways for local seekers to build their relationship with their guidance and strengthen their own intuition.  This page serves as a entry point to accessing Group Services offered.

Wishing the best to everyone in their spiritual journeys as a Group Shepherd, Facilitator, or Participant!

Request Support

Groups are autonomous, but may receive support regarding group management from IPMI on a one time or regular basis, as needed.

Extra Backing

IPMI does not “direct” spiritual study groups but instead provides supplementary support to spiritual leaders and group facilitators.

Additionally, IPMI is happy to support touring leaders by providing information and regrouping to local contacts provided by the spiritual leader.
