Studies
Our Vision

We envision a world in which people
engage in thoughtful self-reflection
and well-intentioned actions through
the application of the principles of
interpersonal neurobiology, leading
to meaningful and compassionate
connections.

Our Mission

To promote and support the
application of the science of
interpersonal neurobiology to the art
of human relationships, across
disciplines, in the service of
individuals, families and communities.

Interpersonal neurobiology helps us
understand how relationships
promote the development of the
neural circuitry responsible for
mindsight, the unique human
capacity for empathy and insight.

In Memoriam
John O'Donohue has died in Paris
... Jan 03, 2008

________________
On the death of the Beloved

Though we need to weep your loss,
You dwell in that safe place in our
hearts,
Where no storm or might or pain
can reach you.
Your love was like the dawn
Brightening over our lives
Awakening beneath the dark
A further adventure of colour.
The sound of your voice
Found for us
A new music
That brightened everything.
Whatever you enfolded in your gaze
Quickened in the joy of its being;
You placed smiles like flowers
On the altar of the heart.
Your mind always sparkled
With wonder at things.
Though your days here were brief,
Your spirit was live, awake,
complete.
We look towards each other no
longer
From the old distance of our names;
Now you dwell inside the rhythm of
breath,
As close to us as we are to
ourselves.
Though we cannot see you with
outward eyes,
We know our soul's gaze is upon
your face,
Smiling back at us from within
everything
To which we bring our best
refinement.
Let us not look for you only in
memory,
Where we would grow lonely
without you.
You would want us to find you in
presence,
Beside us when beauty brightens,
When kindness glows
And music echoes eternal tones.
When orchids brighten the earth,
Darkest winter has turned to spring;
May this dark grief flower with hope
In every heart that loves you.
May you continue to inspire us:
To enter each day with a generous
heart.
To serve the call of courage and
love
Until we see your beautiful face
again
In that land where there  is no more
separation,
Where all tears will be wiped from
our mind,
And where we will never lose you
again.

-- John O'Donohue
