Social Mission

Transformation Arts envisions a formal structure for Self Health Care that embraces the relationship and connection of individual whole health of the mind/body/spirit, the shift in community/social standards that reflects self health care in our inter-personal relationships and the awareness of our actions and impact on shared environments.

Transformation Arts is a formal Internal Arts passing lineage tradition that shoulders socially responsive action in the return, creation and education of self-health care practices and oral/written instruction of lineage Tai Chi/QiGong and Yoga. Actively engaged in Health Care Reform, Transformation Arts reflects, adapts and considers time-tested and global best practice standards. The Lineage uses the commonalities of Human-Shared Qualities, practical application of time-tested training and transformed individual results and science-based research as the measure.

Transformation Art is a 30 yr. evolving mind/body experiential progressive educational training that began in early 1980. Over the years, the name has changed with respect to program and curriculum emphasis and instructor’s influence , having it humble beginnings in Martial Arts training and self-health care as it related to injury and illness and on-going Health and Fitness. The list of service, organizational support, trainings, presentations, introductions and related offerings to public, business and institutional settings is a list longer than there is room for but will be attached as a separate document for reference. Community service is a tenant of Transformation Arts and is in accord to the law of cause and effect, a tangible inter-action with the unseen world and example of social entrepreneurial practice.

The training in Internal Arts is considered a life path encompassing the higher educational refinement teachings of Human Development.The foundation of refinement learning is experiential and has a simultaneous relationship with studying principles and methods as they relate knowing ourselves, experimentation and break-through ability of changes in personal practices and unraveling dysfunctional behaviors and teaching or sharing those foundations to acquire insight and reflection for on-going self-development. The origin of the passing Lineage Tradition forms the foundation of traditional Chinese medicine having its roots in:

  • Natural Intelligence and evolution of Heart, 
  • Mind and cellular unity
  • Principle of Fuel intake; eating habits, diet, and fluid consumption, breath and light
  • Herbology
  • Seasonal Adaptation and Life Cycles
  • Diagnosis, Adaptation and the Physical Practices of Internal Arts 

The abilities, acquired capacities and definitions of Social Entrepreneurship are seen as the reasoning and response that have come from long-term separation and steadfast acceptance of social and business sector dysfunctions. Internal Arts training is a parallel and nearly identical foundation to the necessary qualities of Social Entrepreneurs as it deals directly with the possibilities rather than the problems created by change, bridges the gaps that improve the odds of impact and develops cutting edge programs that transform individual and communities. 

Transformation Arts is a Health and Wellness, Empowerment, Natural Leadership refinement self-study program. We understand that large scale impact and proof of concept starts from a point, and grows exponentially when societal patterns reveal growing imbalances and can be recognized as opportunities in search of alignment; the success of local public programs can re-structure standards, re-define lowest common-denominator inter-actions and self-accountability in public service programs , and be reproduced at regional, national and global levels. There is a very direct link to lack of respect and responsibility, imbalances and dysfunctions, and the deterioration in Human connection and personal dignity. Our foundation of public offered classes for the past four years in the Southern Oregon area is the common ground and basic beginnings for establishing presence in the communities we serve. Our Elder Fall Reduction Programs with a sliding scale represent generational care , respect and a service orientation, and carry the policy that no senior is turned away because of financial limitations.

Stillness and Meditation classes provide access to inner medicine that antidotes busy lifestyles, daily stress/tension, fear-trap-thought-forms and being at the mercy of ourselves and past traumas. Lineage Level Training and Education programs provide a Life-Study approach to self health care and healing as a starting point and advance in precision to maintaining balance and adaptation, relational perception, self-initiated learning and inclusive behaviors in all aspects of daily inter-actions. The foundations of health, healing and empowerment in our daily walk begin matching our actions and spoken words and our evolving nature begins to transcend and transform past limitations, bridging the gap from the intangible or unseen parts of our existence to the potential and infinite abilities contained with-in, as a type of internal compass that redirects our shared fate and free-will as humans in connection to all of life.
