Description of Organization:

The Five Wisdoms Institute serves as a beacon of inspiration and practical guidance for personal fulfillment, professional development, and societal harmony. Irini Rockwell, the founder and director of the Five Wisdoms Institute, has dedicated over four decades to exploring the essence of who we are through the Five Wisdoms of Tantric Buddhism and Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche teachings. Her pioneering work in the field of human development bridges the gap between esoteric teachings and practical application in contemporary Western contexts. As a teacher, coach, and author, Irini has guided countless individuals through transformative workshops, retreats, and trainings around the world. There are Five Wisdoms Institute Affiliates and teachers in nine countries.

 

Our commitment is to offer an in-depth Five Wisdoms Training, shorter courses on related topics, and training in professional applications and teacher training to expand our reach and impact. We are evolving our teachings by integrating Buddhist principles with modern psychology and neuroscience. We are building a supportive community of practitioners. We delight in collaborating with individuals organizations.

            

Grant(s) Awarded

In 2024, a Women in Buddhism grant in the amount of $8,000 was awarded to develop an online course in six modules, Empowering the Feminine, which will be working with areas of development that have proven essential in leadership: personal awareness, emotional intelligence, authentic relationships, life purpose, skillful engagement, and taking action. Each module will bring out a deeper understanding and importance of the feminine. It will include innovative personal and interpersonal exercises with an emphasis on embodiment working with inner yoga. It will have downloadable guided meditation audios. Five Wisdomes will also host Empowering Women, an online gathering with grantees while collaborting with others to design it.
