ISA Experience

About ISA Experience

Under the direction of founder Ole Larsen and President Luis Cordoba, The Institute for Self-Actualization offers numerous seminars and activities through the isa Experience in order to assist people searching for a deeper understanding of their lives. For more than 30 years, the isa Experience has developed new levels of self-awareness in people who participate in the program, including individuals in Sweden, Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

With a focus on creating an environment that allows attendees to closely examine themselves and determine what may be holding them back, the isa Experience encourages participation in a series of activities and exercises in group settings and one-on-one interactions, as well as in introspective environments. After graduating from the isa Experience, individuals frequently provide testimonials about the different ways in which the program changed their lives. They also express their enthusiasm in helping others find the same satisfaction through the isa Experience.

In addition, the isa Experience does not seek to steer people away from existing schools of thought or religious organizations. The isa Experience uses program fees to sponsor additional events and to cover existing costs. The isa Experience and its other programs such as the Video Experience, Getting Lighter, Getting Wealthy, the Graduate Intensive Training, Wake Up Events, and isa Outdoors feature various offerings depending on the theme of the program. Whereas some programs might allow participants to view themselves on video during certain situations, others may feature outdoor obstacle challenges that encourage group communication and cooperation.

Through the isa Experience, a group of 100 to 200 people spend a weekend sharing and holding discussions in a supportive and friendly environment. Alumni also participate in follow-up interviews to answer any questions or concerns. Ten days after graduating from the isa Experience, individuals participate in a two-hour Post Experience with the same group. The discussion focuses on finding out different ways that people have expanded their minds to new opportunities since the first gathering and to decide how to best continue achieving new levels of self-realization.
