Hoffman Institute Foundation

The Hoffman Institute Foundation, a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit, delivers the Hoffman Process, an eight-day intensive residential course of personal discovery and development. Held in beautiful retreat settings in California’s wine country and the Berkshire Mountains of Massachusetts, the Process allows you to examine and better understand your life and reveals why you behave the way you do. Published scientific research demonstrates the long-term positive effects that the Hoffman Process has had on relieving depression and anxiety. To date, more than 70,000 people around the world have used the tried and tested Hoffman techniques to improve their quality of life and restore their relationships with friends and family. Professors Michael R. Levenson and Carolyn M. Aldwin of the University of California at Davis presented the findings of their three-year, grant* research study on the Hoffman Process in the Nov/ Dec 2006 issue of the scientific peer review journal, EXPLORE, The Journal of Science and Healing. This University peer review research shows that Hoffman Process participants experienced lasting significant reductions in depression, anxiety and obsessive/compulsive tendencies, coupled with lasting significant increases in emotional intelligence, life satisfaction, compassion, vitality and forgiveness. A world-wide search of the research literature shows that no other treatments or interventions produce lasting, significant reductions in negative affects, while simultaneously producing such increases in positive affects.
