Who We Are
Inspiration Community was founded by Jessica Dibb, Spiritual Leader and
Facilitator. In 1983, Jessica started to facilitate classes and intensives,
including "Celebrating Life" and "Awakening." In 1985, Jessica started calling
these trainings and ritual celebrations "The Inspiration Community."
Over the next few years the curriculum expanded, calling to increasing numbers
of people who were also seeking stimulating ways to awaken and heal authentic
selves. The fundamental principle of these studies is the love filled
commitment to realize potential awakened status and essential life in order to
respect ourselves, our relationships, and planet earth in complete harmony.
These classes have come to be known as the Inspiration Mystery School.
In 1989, some people from the courses and intensives came together to form the
"Inspiration Visionary Collective." They wanted to contribute to and co-direct
pathways for the principles of the trainings to be experienced in activities
integral to daily life. They wanted to be of service to anyone who was looking
for community fostered around conscious living lifestyle habits. This group of
people has come to be known as the Inspiration Community.

It is vital that individuals doing service work in the world continue to evolve
their capacity for self-awareness, wholeness, and actualization. This balance
and flow between inner transformation, which is best supported by doing both
solo and group practice, and helping others in their journeys is an important
and pivotal part of being a fully flowered human being. Here at Inspiration we
have become even more committed to encouraging all of our students in
cultivating their life journeys with this balance. Whether we are working with
first-time students or those who have been journeying with us for over
twenty-five years, the willingness and open-heartedness of our students
continues to deepen and grow.
Through this dance of inner and outer work, we are learning to make a
difference, and feeling the gratitude of getting to participate and contribute
to changes arising in all areas of life. In the book, Blessed Unrest: How The
Largest Movement in the World Came into Being and Why No One Saw it Coming, the
author, Paul Hawken, explains that this movement “is about people who want to
save the entire sacred, cellular, basis of existence.” While the author did not
intend his book to be optimistic, he discovered that the optimism found him. In
order to support this movement, Inspiration Consciousness School is
strengthening and revisioning our class curriculums and support systems. We are
also adding three new classes to the curriculum over the next six months-- the
first of which is featured in this mailing. The Awakening course continues to
be our most energizing and galvanizing journey. The Spiritual Apprenticeship is
the pivotal and deep commitment to the lifelong marriage of the Seeker and the
Beloved. The Essence course is the realization of the highest way of living
possible. This curriculum culminates in the flowering of a full human being
walking in the balance of inner fiery transformation and outer devotion to all
life in the Bodhisattva course.
We are offering special discounts so that if you are take two classes, you will
receive a 5% discount on each class. If you enroll in three or more classes,
you will receive a 10% discount on each class. We are doing this because the
call to awaken is becoming more urgent and speaking passionately to so many of
us.
I want to invite all of us to delve more deeply, passionately, and
authentically into our consciousness studies and into our service with our
loved ones and vocations. I look forward to continuing the journey with you.
Please call if you have any questions about the Fall semester.
May every breath cultivate boundless love,
Jessica

Integrative Breathing
Integrative Breathing is a potent, safe and
natural healing process which utilizes breath expansion and awareness to induce
transformation -- physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Breath is
our most important connection to life energy, because it is the first and last
action that we take during our life. As we expand the quantity and quality of
breath into our body, healing energy is created and intensified. This promotes
an increased state of aliveness and a connection to what is most essential to
ourselves, both on a personal and transpersonal level. This energy can also
facilitate awareness and release physical, emotional and mental blocks. Each
breath becomes an opportunity not only for self-nourishment, but for the
release of unconscious barriers one has to experiencing life harmoniously.
Integrative Breathing promotes the possibility of
experiencing and healing trauma and tension carried from birth up to our
present day life. It is a process that teaches and guides us towards our
essential capacity to experience each moment of life as pregnant with
possibility, a moment of rebirth into life and love. In this context one can
integrate physical, emotional, mental and spiritual experience, and all aspects
of self/Self, this moving into profound acceptance of oneself, others, and
life.
Each person's process of self-discovery is individual and unique. One can use
this transformational process for a variety of reasons, such as:
-
Wanting to change long-standing patterns of self-limitation
-
Increasing self-esteem
-
Reducing anxiety and tension in the body
-
Healing trauma from infancy to the present
-
Promoting optimal wellness through enhanced breathing, thus supporting the
immune system and all cells in the body
-
Connecting more deeply with one's spiritual experience of life
-
Opening the heart more fully towards oneself and others, thus nurturing the
capacity to love.
The practice formerly known as Rebirthing is now called Integrative Breathing.
