The actual Center is a multifaceted R & D and educational offering. It serves various functions, including...

1. Corporate/organizational product and conceptual development;

2. Editorial and writing support for business, publishing, the helping professions; and

3. The archival repository for various materials: classic, transcultural resources, and kindred primary source resource material (see The Library).

The Center is, as yet, without walls. It may grow into a physical research/retreat site expressly for helping professionals. This now virtual Center explores the intimate spiritual intelligence of the world's contemplative traditions, for all readers.

[Call to "helping professionals"]

Educators, therapists, life-coaches, spiritual directors and the clergy, health-care, career and guidance counselors, human resource professionals and, in fact, all positive catalysts -- individuals trained to work with people in the throes of every sort of transition (e.g., in business, educational, spiritual or therapeutic settings) -- are, to our way of seeing things, all "helping professionals". The Center will, in due time, strive to make available the Sinetar archives, its Library and resource materials to helping professionals who are utilizing the ideas in Marsha Sinetar's body of work to widen the scope and depth of their own spiritual understanding and influence.

Even in this early virtual format, we trust The Center's offerings will help visitors extend their leadership reach.
