We hold that life begins with a dream, a vision for that which is to come and how best to serve in its co-creation.
Chas and Kat Perry initiated Integrative Intentions (II) in 2002 with a workshop titled “Dreaming with the Matrix of Life”.
A significant feature of this dreaming was being with the land, other species, and each other in a process of co-healing and integration.
In 2003, to further visions of healing, Integrative Intentions developed the Comprehensive Therapy Programs (CTP). These programs have their origins in the Upledger Intensive Therapy Programs designed by Dr. Upledger and offered at the Upledger Clinic. With Dr, Upledger's approval Kat and Chas Perry have offered CTP programs at various locations nationaly and internationally. II has conducted 89 CTP's in the past 10 years. In 2014 the CTP's were renamed Integrative Therapy Programs "ITP" and continue under the management of II and the close association of II and UI.
Since the inception of II, Chas and Kat Perry were integral to the Upledger Institute Bioaquatics classes and Dolphin Assisted Therapy Intensive Programs (DATIP). Chas Perry designed the first BAE classes and Kat and Chas went on as II to develop additional BAE classes and the Dolphin Assisted Comprehensive Therapy Programs (DACTP). In 2008, II assumed sole responsibility for these classes and programs. In 2011, II and UII agreed to continues the BAE classes and dolphin therapy programs (within the Upledger Curriculum) managed by II.
II has also developed and provided educational opportunities through classes, presentations, workshops, therapist retreats, and mentoring. The theme of "EcoSomatics" is continually being developed to support an ecology of health that includes other species and our enviroment.
II has naturally unfolded as a community of therapists who work together to provide health care services in the CTP's.
In 2009 the Integrative Intentions Center was established in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico.
This center provides: Class room and Clinical space; an Aquatic therapy facility fed by natural hot springs; II admistrative office, and II community space for events and retreats.
We have provided II programs throughout the United States in Indiana, Illinois, California, Oregon, Washington, Michigan, Missouri and New Mexico; Internationally in Iceland, Ireland, Portugal, Panama, Columbia and Germany.
II is now based in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. Although we currently spend a lot of time on the road and enjoy a worldwide community of friends and colleagues, we love this place: the town, people, landscape, and healing waters.
We are particularly attracted to the presence of hot springs here - a source of healing offered by the earth and spirit. Our center has hot springs water rights which we steward for healing.
Historically the area was known as Ojo Caliente de las Palomas (Hot Springs of the Doves) and our center embodies this sentiment.
The II community of therapists, students, clients and staff continue to be an integral part of our history and development, providing the hearts and soul of II.
