Global Integrators Guild
Expanding Access to Structural Integration Education
Our Mission
Global Integrators Guild is a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing high-quality Structural Integration (SI) education to communities where access is limited or disrupted by crisis. Our first long-term project supports a committed cohort of Ukrainian practitioners - physiotherapists, doctors, other medical clinicians, and massage therapists who are working to rebuild the health and well-being of their country during and after war. We believe that when practitioners receive excellent training, they can profoundly shift the trajectory of recovery for the people they serve. Structural Integration is a potent and stabilizing therapy for those living with the impact of trauma and injury. Our mission is to help ensure that practitioners in Ukraine have access to learn more skills, build more resources, and have the support they need to offer bodywork at the highest level.
Why Ukraine
For the past several years, we have traveled to Ukraine to teach and mentor a group of dedicated practitioners who share a common goal: to learn skills at a high level so that they can continue to support their population. We hope to be instrumental in funding this cohort to become fully certified Structural Integrators. Eventually, we also hope to bring this method into their own language and professional landscape. The commitment we've seen in the practitioners over the years is extraordinary. Despite the instability around them, they continue to study, practice, ask questions, and show up with a depth of sincerity that moves us every time we teach. We have seen their integrity, their skill, and their desire to help their communities move beyond the impact of war. And, we believe in their capacity to become leaders in SI within Ukraine.
What We Are Building
Our goal is to fund and launch an accredited Structural Integration basic training program in Lviv, taught by experienced SI educators. This training will meet the highest standards in our profession and prepare students for long-term certification.
To make this possible, we are raising funds to provide:
-
Travel support for skilled SI practitioners to deliver the Ten Series—a prerequisite for basic training
-
Teacher compensation
-
Classroom rentals and equipment
-
Housing assistance for students traveling to Lviv
-
Supplemental educational materials and curriculum support
This is a five-year initiative designed to create profound, sustainable change. Our vision is that within three years, Ukraine will have at least sixteen fully trained and certified Structural Integrators, with some beginning a teacher track so SI can eventually be taught in Ukrainian by Ukrainian educators.
Our Approach
We operate through direct relationships rather than institutional partnerships. This allows us to stay focused on the practitioners themselves, allocate funds responsibly, adapt flexibly to changing conditions, all the while upholding the integrity of SI education.
We hold a relational philosophy: our board members, teachers, and students must be supported, not depleted. When people are cared for, the work deepens and communities thrive.
