History
In 1989, Dr. Arnold Mindell and colleagues founded the Global Process Institute (GPI) to facilitate an international learning and research community with a special focus on conflict facilitation and transformation, psycho-social capacity building, and training of conflict facilitators. As of January 2014, GPI has merged with IAPOP, forming the IAPOP Worldwork Committee.
