The Sophia Institute was founded on a bold idea and a deep calling:

That human consciousness can evolve through the integration of mind, body, and spirit; through the union of the Divine Feminine and Masculine; through devoted spiritual practice, and through cultivating love at the center of life.

For 25 years, this community has explored that possibility together. Now, we celebrate the journey of awakening—and step into the next era of discovery.

Each year, we gather to honor you—our community—and the transformative work we are doing together to shape a more conscious and compassionate world.

This year holds special significance. Thanks to the devotion of friends, faculty, and supporters like you, we are celebrating 25 years of meaningful impact—and envisioning the next 25.

As Pat Mitchell beautifully expressed:

Recently “I found myself thinking about love—not the sentimental kind, but the courageous, disciplined, world-building kind. The kind rooted in trust, dignity, solidarity, and shared purpose. The kind that organizes, that endures, that transforms systems.”

This is the kind of love we seek to embody and cultivate at Sophia—and the spirit we will gather to celebrate.

We are delighted to invite you to join us in person for an evening of celebration and connection at our Sophia Spring Celebration: Celebrating 25 Years of Awakening — Envisioning the Next 25 on Wednesday, May 13, 2026, from 5:00 to 7:00 PM, in the Rotunda of The Gibbes Museum of Art.

This is an evening to honor you. Dress up, raise a glass, and enjoy inspired conversation, live entertainment, and beautiful offerings—all in support of Sophia’s continued mission.

Now more than ever, we are committed to fostering soul-centered transformation, advancing human consciousness, and nurturing a more just and spiritually fulfilling world for all.

Please reserve your place and join us for this unforgettable evening. Your presence is not only meaningful—it is part of what makes this work possible.
