ITP’s nine Core Practice Intentions form the structure of ITP and serve as the roadmap for the journey of transformation of body, mind, heart and soul. They provide constant encouragement to ground us in our daily life and can carry us through difficult times when our energy may waver.

While ITP stresses the importance of individuality and free choice, there is grounding power in the support of the ITP community.
