New Year message from IPA President
Dear International Primal Association Members and Friends,
Sadly, I just learned that Brian Stark passed away peacefully on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, a few weeks before his 85th birthday. He was known for the dedication he brought to everything he cared about including the Board of the International Primal Association. Obituary for Brian Thomas Regan Stark
On a positive note, I'll be visiting Detroit in a couple weeks and staying w/Dianne Arman and David.

The International Primal Association
The International Primal Association (IPA) strives to create a safe space to experience and integrate deep feelings, and support authenticity in a fully embodied way. We are creating a community that promotes acceptance, kindness, honesty and self-discovery.
The word primal refers to a method of psychological healing that examines the difficult and damaging aspects of our childhoods and helps us feel what was too much for us as children back then. This primal method of healing frees us in the present, so that instead of being shut down
and defensive, we become open and whole.
What We Are All About
When human beings function as an integrated whole, they easily
display peacefulness, openness, joy, and clarity, as shown in the above photos. We believe that primal healing is usually essential to regain such wholeness. (Pics are not of members.)
