Founding Philosophy

We live within a pre-constructed, highly artificial world; one that frequently severs us from the natural rhythms of our own being and the deep wisdom of our Ancestors. Yet, the truth remains absolute: there is no separate reality. We are inextricably bound to ourselves, to one another, and to Holy Spirit. 

Ms. Wright was the daughter of a single mother who worked in the airline industry. She was born and raised in Minnesota, and later in Hawaii (from age ten). Our founder was socially conditioned and continually reinforced in the principles of strict, disciplined, selfless respect and kindness toward others, and in the honorable Hawaiian 'Spirit of Aloha', a way of being for the local people of Hawaii. Hawaii is the most racially and ethnically diverse place in the world, and the Spirit of Aloha is the sole reason everyone got along in such a small land. It was a matter of survival. 

Ms. Wright joined the Hawaiian Sovereignty movement in the 1990s and participated in the march around Oahu that ended at Iolani Palace. President Clinton gave the Hawaiian people an apology and nothing more, for the United States having broken the laws of its own lands through the illegal annexation of the Hawaiian Islands and the coup that led to statehood: kidnapping and imprisonment of their standing Queen Lili'oukalani.

At the Ariel Wright Healing and Educational Foundation for Spiritual Ascension, we believe that true wellness is not passive; it is a courageous act of reclamation. We are born with an innate blueprint for nature, healing, and discernment. By awakening our intuition, we remember how to sense what aligns with our highest good and what does not. This discernment is the catalyst for absolute truth. When we step into that truth, we cease to be mere spectators; we become Healing Warriors, united in transforming the consciousness of our world.

True systemic change begins in the sacred space of human relating. Through the Intimacy-Driven Communication Skills (ICS) methodology, we provide couples in professional clinical mental health counseling with a profound psychological framework to navigate high-conflict dynamics. ICS is more than a communication tool; it is a gateway to authentic connection, vulnerability, and sustained relational healing. It stands as the cornerstone of our foundational Relationships Series, bridging clinical rigor with deep human empathy.

Healing must transcend geographic and institutional boundaries. In 2007, our founder pioneered the integration of technology and psychotherapy by creating e-counseling, the world’s first professional online clinical video mental health service. By leveraging early digital and social platforms, she broke barriers to reach underserved populations, establishing a worldwide precedent for accessible, high-quality modern mental health care rooted in ancient Zen principles. 

A healthy society requires radical advocacy and systemic accountability. In 2019, Ariel Wright founded the 'COVID Activist' movement, a 15,000-member digital community data-sharing and advocacy network (see COVID Activist community, now on Locals.com). It was her platform on Facebook that was illegally censored and eventually removed for sharing proven scientific facts and statistical data that negated the corporate mainstream media narrative. Now the movement is on Locals.com for historical purposes, but the rich town-square feel of it and community contributions, unfortunately, could not be preserved. 

At its peak, the COVID Activist movement engaged 50,000 people weekly, rooted in a fierce commitment to public health safety, institutional accountability, and a profound shift in societal values. We believe that public health is a moral imperative, and our activism continues to champion the safety, dignity, and collective well-being of communities worldwide.

"Can you feel it? That is your intuition—the ancient wisdom of the Ancestors echoing within you. Let it lead you to truth. Join us on the frontlines of healing."
