International Remote Viewing Association

What International Remote Viewing Association does

International Remote Viewing Association (IRVA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit membership organization founded in 2000 to promote the responsible practice, education, training, and research of remote viewing — a structured perceptual methodology for acquiring information beyond conventional sensory channels. The organization serves individual practitioners, students, researchers, and professional remote viewers globally, providing education, community, and access to a unique historical archive.

IRVA's product surface comprises six core offerings: IRVA Ed (an online learning platform on Kajabi delivering synchronous and self-paced courses and workshops at $75-$500); Aperture Magazine (a periodic publication); the CIA Star Gate Archives (exclusive member access to 12,473 declassified documents spanning 23 years of government RV research, organized into 15 browsable folders); IRVA Conference Videos (on-demand catalog of past conferences); Focal Point (a monthly target practice forum); and the IRVA Research Unit (a collaborative research forum and grant program). Supporting programs include the Applied Precognition Project (integrated in 2025) and the International Committee's Communities of Special Interest spanning 30+ countries.

The business model is a hybrid of subscription memberships, event ticketing, course sales, donations, and media sales. Annual membership tiers run from Associate ($45) and Tasker ($100) through Sustainer ($500) to a one-time Lifetime tier ($1,000), with a separate Pro Membership application pathway for credentialed practitioners. Two annual conferences — Dayton, Ohio and, newly in 2026, Bad Gögging, Germany — generate ticket, workshop, and meal-plan revenue. Distribution is direct via irva.org and the Kajabi-based IRVA Ed platform, supplemented by a Facebook Practice Group, newsletter, and phone/email support. The organization operates with approximately 7 employees and is governed by a Board of Directors including original Stargate program veterans Dale Graff, Paul H. Smith, and Lyn Buchanan.
