STATUS
- We are incorporated in the State of Arizona as a not-for-profit organization. 501(c)(3). Our work began in the 1970's and we were officially incorporated in 1986 as a not-for-profit organization.
- Our mission is to provide training, education and research to individuals, families and health-care professionals who are interested in expanding their therapeutic repertoire. The TIP promotes a multidimensional healing paradigm that incorporates contemporary research in psychoneuroimmunology, Ericksonian psychotherapeutic principles and indigenous wisdom.
- We sustain ourselves through connections and referrals from our participants (relatives) and to the integrity of Spirit. We encourage those of you who have experienced our offerings to continue to share our heart message with others in your lives.
