Psychosynthesis Institute: Pi
A Living Circle

The Psychosynthesis Institute (Pi) is held by a living circle of internationally connected teachers, facilitators, advisors and practitioners. Together we share a commitment to bringing psychosynthesis forward with depth, integrity and care.
Like many psycho-spiritual and transpersonal expressions our unfolding has moved through phases of differntiation, taking shape in diverse forms as it evolved.
Our intention is to hold this process with care, so that these forms are honored in their distinctiveness, and our individual, collaborative, and collective efforts can grow in coherence rather than division.
The Psychosynthesis Institute (Pi) is one contribution within a wider field, shaped by many, past and present and into the future. Psychosynthesis continues to be shared through the many programs, centers, and organizations carrying and interpreting Assagioli’s work in varied expressions.
Our orientation is to offer tools for personal and professional development in service of social transformation, honoring Roberto Assagioli’s vision that self-realization is not an end in itself, but a first step toward right human relations and a more conscious and unified humanity.
While we will continue to offer professional training, our deeper commitment is to bring psychosynthesis into everyday life by offering resources, programs and experiences that support personal growth and self-development.
We are committed to sharing the transformative gifts of psychosynthesis with a wider community and to carry the seminal work of Roberto Assagioli, whose vision and formation of psychosynthesis opened a path toward a more inclusive understanding of the human being psychological and spiritual, personal and relational, individual and collective.
Pi, our Psychosynthesis Institute, arises from the living lineage of psychosynthesis that has grown through many individuals, groups, centers, schools, and communities around the world. Our transition as Synthesis Center San Francisco to Pi, is one branch in this wider field, shaped over time by the many students, coaches, facilitators, and colleagues who have helped carry this work forward.
We move into this new chapter with gratitude, humility, and a renewed commitment to bringing psychosynthesis alive for these times. Pi is both a continuation and a widening that honors the foundations we have received while listening for what is being called forth in this new century.
At the heart of this unfolding are our Facilitator Circle, Advisory Circle, and soon-to-launch Coaches Circle. We are a dedicated and growing community of experienced practitioners and emerging leaders, helping to hold, shape, and support Pi’s programs, values, vision, and relational field as it continues to take form.
Together, we are exploring how psychosynthesis can continue to serve personal development, professional training, and social transformation.

Our Guiding Vision
Psychosynthesis Institute – Pi: Tools for Self-Development & Social Transformation
Pi’s vision is to make psychosynthesis more accessible to the wider public. We are offering and developing pathways for training and programs for personal, professional, and social transformation.
- Pi exists to support both personal transformation and meaningful participation in the wider world.
- Our work recognizes that inner development and social transformation are deeply interconnected.
- We view our vision and IDEEAL model as ongoing practices of inquiry, reflection, experimentation, and learning.
- Some initiatives will be small. Some will be prototypes. Some will succeed. Some will teach us what needs refinement.
- Our commitment is not perfection.Our commitment is participation.

Our I.D.E.E.A.L. MODEL
Inclusive, Diverse, Empathic, Equitable,Accessible, Learning Innovative
Our I.D.E.E.A.L. model is meant to be a living process inspired by Assagioli’s core experience of the Ideal Model.
I.D.E.E.A.L. reflects our commitment to the questions and action on the following:
Inclusion: Who is welcomed? Who is missing?
Diversity: How do we broaden perspectives, voices, and experiences?
Empathy: How do we deepen our capacity to understand one another?
Equity: How do we reduce barriers to participation and opportunity?
Accessibility: How do we make our programs, language, and resources more available to diverse learners and communities?
Learning & Innovation: How do we remain curious, adaptive, and willing to experiment?
Facilitatiors, Advisors & Coaches: The People of Pi
We are actively building profiles, updates, and reflections from our wider community which will be shared here over time. For now, we will begin to introduce some of our facilitators, coaches, and advisors, each engaged in bringing our vision into form.
