The Institute
Advancing the science, practice, and public understanding of nondual awareness as a transformative force in mental health and human flourishing.
The Institute for Nonduality-Based Therapies (INT) brings together contemplative wisdom, modern psychology, and rigorous research to explore how recognizing the non-separation of self and experience can reduce suffering, deepen resilience, and expand human potential.
Grounded in both ancient traditions and contemporary clinical science, INT develops and studies therapeutic methods that help individuals loosen rigid self-boundaries, navigate stress with greater freedom, and access the intrinsic well-being that emerges when awareness recognizes its own nonduality.
INT exists to build a new field of study and practice: Nonduality-Based Therapies. While mindfulness-based interventions introduced attention training into medicine and psychology, nonduality-based approaches extend this work by addressing the root of human distress — the felt sense of being a separate, isolated self struggling against experience.
We envision a future where nondual awareness is recognized as a foundational dimension of psychological health and a transformative force accessible to all. A future where therapists and researchers are equipped to guide others into deeper clarity, compassion, and resilience — not through belief, ideology, or doctrine, but through the direct experience of awareness recognizing itself.
INT aspires to be a global leader in developing this new frontier of mental health — one that integrates the rigor of science, the wisdom of contemplative traditions, and the practical needs of a world in crisis.
"A future where therapists are equipped to guide others into deeper clarity — not through belief or doctrine, but through the direct experience of awareness recognizing itself."
INT Vision StatementPsychological or behavioral interventions that help individuals recognize the nondual nature of awareness — an experiential absence of rigid self–world separation — and use this recognition as a basis for emotional freedom and psychological transformation.
Our work

Developing structured interventions such as NDSR — our flagship 8-week program — and additional protocols addressing trauma, burnout, chronic pain, and existential distress.
Training clinicians, therapists, researchers, and educators in applying nondual theory and practice safely and effectively, with emphasis on ethical grounding and trauma sensitivity.
Offering workshops, retreats, lectures, online courses, and guided practices designed to help individuals access nondual insight in a supportive, grounded, psychologically informed manner.
Partnering with psychologists, neuroscientists, contemplative scholars, medical professionals, meditation teachers, and community organizations to explore nondual awareness in human thriving.
