Membership
The International Primal Association (IPA) is a unique community
of professionals and laypersons who live, practice, or support the
primal healing process. Everyone is welcome.
Many of our projects and activities, such as the newsletter, internet
support group, membership directory, peer group development, and
certification program are focused on enriching our community life.
Other initiatives such as our web site, world-wide contact list,
therapist referral list, annual conventions, and regional retreats
are intended to bring more primal people closer together, and make
primal life more available to those in need.

Note
to Professionals
Professionals who practice primal-related work often feel isolated,
misunderstood, and unsupported in the present non-feeling climate
of medication and talk therapies. As an IPA member, you will be
part of our growing network of professionals who are developing
and presenting a larger, united, world-wide voice for primal theory
and practice. Membership in the IPA can also benefit your clients.
Our community is a great source of support for people who are moving
through a process of deep healing. A connection with primal people
all over the globe conveys the message that we are not alone. This
itself is an important part of healing.
