reawakening our human potential

We Welcome You

The Winds of Change Association &
Winds of Change Books

Inspired by the cultural shifts and changing human values now occurring on a planetary scale, The Winds of Change Association was founded in 1996 as an educational organization dedicated to cultivating the potency of the human spirit. Winds of Change Books is a literary extension of the Association.

Our goal is the awakening of the spiritual and social potential of humanity, in harmony with nature for the highest good of all life. It is our mission to connect and align individuals, groups, and communities for positive change and to further cooperate toward a common goal of a compassionate sustainable future.

"If I love, admire and madly sing the praises of the wind, And if I drink its fluid, living wine to the dregs. It is because it swells my whole being and because before It filters through my lungs and through my pores Into the blood that sustains my body, With its rude strength or its great gentleness Expansively, it has embraced the world"
Emile Verhansen
