More About the Community

Who We Are

Inspiration Community was founded by Jessica Dibb, Spiritual Leader and Facilitator. In 1983, Jessica started to facilitate classes and intensives, including "Celebrating Life" and "Awakening." In 1985, Jessica started calling these trainings and ritual celebrations "The Inspiration Community."

Over the next few years the curriculum expanded, calling to increasing numbers of people who were also seeking stimulating ways to awaken and heal authentic selves. The fundamental principle of these studies is the love filled commitment to realize potential awakened status and essential life in order to respect ourselves, our relationships, and planet earth in complete harmony. These classes have come to be known as the Inspiration Mystery School.

In 1989, some people from the courses and intensives came together to form the "Inspiration Visionary Collective." They wanted to contribute to and co-direct pathways for the principles of the trainings to be experienced in activities integral to daily life. They wanted to be of service to anyone who was looking for community fostered around conscious living lifestyle habits. This group of people has come to be known as the Inspiration Community.

NEXT PHASE 

 

Fundraising has begun with the support of one of our gracious donors. We will be launching our most pivotal funding drive to date for the ambitious undertakings, and we will need your financial support.

 

Approved by the Board in 2009, Phase Three will:

 

Convert the current house into a large center with a meeting space 4 times the size of the Purple Room and build a smaller parsonage for Jessica and her family to reside on another part of the property. Phase Three will accomplish:

 

  • The creation of 3 dedicated classroom and event spaces (purple room, pavilion and large shrine room). The creation of this larger space will make it possible to hold conferences, Winter Solstice Events, and very large lectures and performances, as well as provide significant spaciousness for movement during classes. The structure will include a year-round community kitchen, the Purple Room, a large Shrine Room, and bathrooms.
  • Additional rooms for practitioners to treat clients
  • Greater infrastructure to expand the Inspiration Community and it’s service to the world

We feel blessed and graced by this expansion, and we know this can only come to fruition with your financial contributions, input, and involvement. Please contact 410-998-9777 ext. 3 to give us ideas and see how you can be involved.

 

 

Integrative Breathing

Integrative Breathing is a potent, safe and natural healing process which utilizes breath expansion and awareness to induce transformation — physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Breath is our most important connection to life energy, because it is the first and last action that we take during our life. As we expand the quantity and quality of breath into our body, healing energy is created and intensified. This promotes an increased state of aliveness and a connection to what is most essential to ourselves, both on a personal and transpersonal level. This energy can also facilitate awareness and release physical, emotional and mental blocks. Each breath becomes an opportunity not only for self-nourishment, but for the release of unconscious barriers one has to experiencing life harmoniously.

 

Integrative Breathing promotes the possibility of experiencing and healing trauma and tension carried from birth up to our present day life. It is a process that teaches and guides us towards our essential capacity to experience each moment of life as pregnant with possibility, a moment of rebirth into life and love. In this context one can integrate physical, emotional, mental and spiritual experience, and all aspects of self/Self, this moving into profound acceptance of oneself, others, and life.

 

Each person's process of self-discovery is individual and unique. One can use this transformational process for a variety of reasons, such as:

  1. Wanting to change long-standing patterns of self-limitation
  2. Increasing self-esteem
  3. Reducing anxiety and tension in the body
  4. Healing trauma from infancy to the present
  5. Promoting optimal wellness through enhanced breathing, thus supporting the immune system and all cells in the body
  6. Connecting more deeply with one's spiritual experience of life
  7. Opening the heart more fully towards oneself and others, thus nurturing the capacity to love.
