Our Mission and Vision

The Foundation for Personal and Spiritual Empowerment is a 50l(c)(3) non-profit, nondenominational organization based in San Diego. The foundation embraces diversity, yet brings forth understanding that we are all One.

The foundation’s aim is to encourage the heightening of consciousness and self-awareness of those who are seeking personal growth, change, and empowerment. The foundational perspective is that we are all spiritual beings on a physical journey. The higher purpose of this journey is for man to become awake and aware of his own divine nature. This concept embodies the idea of a Higher Power and mans’ capacity to access that power.
