Overview

Mission

To support the evolution of consciousness in humanity; our programs focus on the evolution and transformation of individuals, leaders, and sacred sites. We envision a world where humans can realize their highest expression; as individuals, as communities, and as a global collective.

What it reported doing in 2024

Wisdom share: offered educational programs promoting conscious living and global awareness, including the release of sacred earth expeditions season 1 (12 episodes), the becoming a conscious creator series (322 participants), and the accelerated ascension 3 workshop in slovenia (300 in-person, 1,500 online). The living alignment membership engaged approximately 300 monthly members, and the foundations training course served 275 participants.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 85% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and the filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad.
