The Institute for Global Transformation

What The Institute for Global Transformation does

The Institute for Global Transformation (IFGT), operating as The Global Transformation, is a Delaware-incorporated non-profit organization headquartered in Flowery Branch, Georgia, that delivers consciousness and personal-development education to a global audience of "Change-Makers" — individuals seeking spiritual growth, self-mastery, and purpose alignment. Its offerings are built on the proprietary "Ageless Wisdom" curriculum and span signature programs (Ageless Wisdom, The Tipping Point, Age of Awakening), live interactive events (Transformations Café held the last Wednesday monthly, Self-Mastery Training held the 3rd Sunday monthly), instructor-led Personal Development Classes, and the paid Personal Transformation Guide. Distribution is content-led via a YouTube channel, a Transformational Conversations Facebook group, a monthly Global Transformation Minute newsletter, and an extensive 21st Century Philosophy article library; the technology layer is a standard website/content platform with no proprietary AI, app, or API surface. The organization is founder-led (Dr. Maryann Miller) with Dr. Michael Mason as a key contributor and a small board (including Seth Adamson); employee count is in the 11–50 range and revenue is undisclosed. The business model is freemium: a free Change-Makers Community membership provides baseline access, while a paid Transformer membership unlocks the Personal Transformation Guide (free to Transformers, $19.97 to others), full program access, and merchandise discounts; revenue is supplemented by donations via a "Donate" page on the website.
