Some Thoughts from Joan Borysenko
Chair of the Advisory Council
 "As
a culture, we're clearly at a crossroads. Every great teaching tells
us to walk the path of loving kindness — the path of the heart,
of true power, integrity, and courage. The question is how to do
it. This is where the Hoffman Quadrinity Process comes in.
When I took the Process, I felt my own, and all the other participants',
negative energy being transformed into love and compassion. It wasn't
just an intellectual or psychological change. I sensed some other
kind of energy flowing through me: suddenly, the world became our
larger family. That kind of divine energy works on a meta level
and is a tremendously positive force for change and healing.
That's why I serve on the Hoffman Institute's Advisory Council
— because just a few committed souls can change the world.
It's a privilege to be connected with the Institute, and it's all
the more rewarding to be joined by such brilliant and gifted individuals
as the other Advisory Council members."
As with the Board of Directors, all members of the Professional
Advisory Council have done the Hoffman Quadrinity Process.
