The Foundation for Conscious Living is...
A grand vision.
A global movement.
Powerful ideas in action.
The Foundation for Conscious Living is a charitable organization committed to a global shift in our ability to effectively move out of the fear trance and to access choice, connection and collaboration. We’re creating a new context for living that supports individuals, communities and organizations to experience embodied Authenticity, Response-Ability and Appreciation.
The Foundation has grown out of Gay and Kathlyn Hendrick’s combined 100+ years of experience, exploration and expertise in the how of consciousness. It expands upon the work of the Hendricks Institute, shares powerful ideas with those who need it most, and serves as a lasting legacy of optimism, creativity and collaboration.
Our Vision
We dream big.
Together, we can usher in a new era of human potential and flourishing. One where…
- Each of us lives in harmony of mind, body, and spirit. Aligned inside ourselves, we live our lives in expanding waves of creativity, collaboration and integrity.
- All of our relationships honor the essence of ourselves and others, and every interaction is conducted with honesty and integrity
- We all honor our organic essential natures. This connection forms the basis for evolutionary, co-creative partnerships at every scale.
Our Misson
Focus on what matters most.
Sparking massive change can be surprisingly simple! In our own lives and in working with thousands of people, we’ve seen the astonishing power of Getting Real, Wondering, and Caring.
If everyone on the planet—or enough of us to create a tipping point—grow these three ideas, we’ll shift into an unprecedented new era of agency, connection and creativity.
We believe everyone on the planet, regardless of location or income, deserves access to resources that support this shift.
What We Do
Global Outreach.
In our ongoing efforts, we sponsor research, resources, and outreach to individuals, communities, and organizations. Our programs include:
- Recent Projects: Our Foundation Facebook Page and Instagram invite you to explore the HOW of consciousness, listening to your body wisdom and integrating getting real, shifting from blame to wonder and caring, into your life, work and relationships. We recently supported The Conscious Loving Film Festival, which inspired innovative filmmakers to produce highly entertaining art that also contributes valuable insights to a world hungry for new and positive perspectives on love.
- The Big Leap Home Online Programs: A blossoming offering of programs supporting individuals, organizations, and communities in generating agency, connection, and creativity on our shared planet.

- Coming Home to Yourself: This series of resources support individuals in restoring inner harmony through breathing techniques, identifying and shifting fear, and tuning in with our natural pace.
- Restoring Resourcefulness: We offer six modules which are designed to be used by communities and organizations in stress that want to respond, rather than react, shifting from fear to accessing choice.
- Creating Caring Communities: This series of free tools and resources outline a context of presencing, connecting, and collaborating together to bring your community visions to life in ways that deeply nourish and renew.
