The Institute for Compassionate Living offers a committed focus on education, contemplation, introspection, and personal study. The primary value to participants is the integration of three elements:

- A thorough knowledge of spiritual integrity based on self-examination, cultural influence, comparative eastern and western traditions, and an emphasis on contemporary spiritual psychology;

- Experiential understanding of The Soul’s Intent which is grounded in the teachings of human suffering, reflection, and evolving inner wisdom;  and ultimately

- Community service that culminates into a heart-centered orientation directed toward more effective life skills as a lived syntheses of mind, body, spirit and purpose.
