Leadership Inside Out - summer 2011


The Origins of IASIS

In September 1982, nineteen individuals in Montreal banded together to form two dialogue circles, and each group met for the next eight months. These “friendship circles” were set up to explore themes related to the subject of personal transformation. Their overall goal was to empower awareness, force of character, inner healing and personal creativity. The guiding questions within IASIS circles were focused on understanding learning and healing processes, and how awareness becomes actualized.

Each circle created a pool of insight, which served to stimulate self-inquiry. The chance to exchange personal experiences acted as a powerful catalyst for individual change.

The ideas shared in circle were carried to kitchen tables across Montreal and the conversation started to gather steam. In the next five years, fifty dialogue circles had been created throughout Quebec and Ontario. In the autumn of 1995, IASIS traveled east, and an exciting cross-cultural dialogue unfolded throughout the Eastern Himalayas. Since then, IASIS circles have continued to pursue the wisdom of love.
