When people listen to what is deepest in their hearts, insights often come which lead in unexpected directions. Many understand this experience as guidance from God, others as the leading of conscience or the inner voice. The regular practice of silence can give access to a source of truth, renewal, inspiration and empowerment. 

What are the steps that we take to facilitate change?

REFLECT

We believe an honest look at one’s own motives and behavior is often the start of personal transformation. Across the world's many cultures you will find values that serve to guide the individual and the community. Of the many, IofC singles out four values as our foundation for self-reflection: Honesty, Unselfishness, Purity and Love.

LISTEN

Honest conversation, undertaken in an open spirit, builds bridges of trust and community between people of similar, different, and even antagonistic, backgrounds. These enable healing, partnership and common action.

ACT

We seek to strengthen the foundations of society and to bring healing where there is conflict. Take a look at our initiatives or sign up for one of our events to find your opportunity for action.
