Baraka Institute: Leadership Development & Coach Training Center("Baraka") materialized out of a passion to embrace and experience life to its fullest. It was further shaped by an undeniable desire to help others co-create meaningful experiences, explore possibilities and achieve their highest potential.

The word Baraka comes from the ancient Sufi language and means,

“the breath or essence of life from which
the evolutionary process unfolds.”

Our Vision

We like to think of Baraka Institute as a cooperative playground for the development of human potential. We see ourselves as an inspirational trigger for the business community to take an active role in promoting favorable environmental stewardship. We hope that as we strengthen and understand ourselves better, we can participate on the planet holistically; support the vital life forces that connect all people and our earth.

We understand that life long learning is vital to continually renew and refresh our mental, physical, emotional and spiritual energies. Baraka makes a supreme effort to provide a safe, nurturing environment for accelerated transformative learning; to offer the tools and mentorship to anyone seeking to effect positive change in the world. As cohabitants on this earth, we seek to continually expose our selves to new ways of doing and being!

Our Values

At Baraka Institute, we honor the notion of living and loving out loud – fully owning one’s ideas, thoughts and dreams; respecting and trusting others for their own. We believe open communication and transparent actions are valuable components of positive change. We hope that by demonstrating our whole selves, others will see the joys and opportunities such a path offers, and follow.


The Mission

At Baraka we focus on awareness, action through self-empowerment, and accountability in personal and professional visioning and holistic and sustainable change-making with continual reflection and renewal. We coactively assist individuals, businesses and leaders and their organizations to design and manifest their preferred futures. We believe in the power of personal mastery in both work and play - and strive to assist our clients to develop high levels of effective communication, clarity in perception and vision.
