Our Purpose
Provide a neutral, safe structure and process to help us be Open to Dialog so we can truly Sense what is in the heart of others, so that Insight can produce action that Matters and has an Impact.
We live in a world with problems that are felt locally but ripple through our global community: hunger, unequal distribution of food, deterioration of the environment, genocide, terrorism, policies that promote the inequality of women, minorities and people of GLTB identity, lack of equally accessible health care and educational opportunities, the threat of the negative use of nuclear power, the increasing socio-economic gap between people of privilege and those who are marginalized, underdeveloped economies, the cost of waging war, and increasing the pace of converting to renewable energy sources, just to name some of the more obvious issues.
Our spiritual perspectives tend to segregate us emotionally, conceptually and physically, and they strongly influence our political, economic and life style choices. IDIOMS hopes to be part of an effort that strives to dissipate segregation and encourage collaborative global solutions to problems.
Fear of what is unfamiliar fuels polarization. Many people are aware of spiritual perspectives other than their own but don’t have a constructive understanding of the beliefs. Instead of just reading material or watching a video presentation, IDIOMS will provide an opportunity for a deeper, immediate, meaningful personal exchange.
IDIOMS seeks a deep and compassionate understanding of internal motivation for the words we choose to say and the actions we choose to do.
Using Art to address Global Issues from all Spiritual perspectives. No proselytizing.
