The Transperaonal Alliance advocates for the advancement and dissemination of independent, postgraduate transpersonal research and program evaluations through posting calls for research participants and the publication of research reports. Listings of academic and professional biographies aim to facilitate networking and collaboration toward the advancement of transpersonal research, education, and transpersonal practices. Independent and joint pursuits shall be generated in a non-centralized manner. Affiliates may initiate in-person gatherings, webinars, and online conferences, regionally and/or globally to be posted under News and Events. Examples of creative expression and creative writing are included in the website Gallery.
The alliance is not an alumni organization, and its affiliates may not only be ITP alumni and former faculty, but also their students, trainees, and colleagues, who integrate transpersonal values in their respective practices, and continue an active research and professional affiliation with one another on this basis.
