We seek a world that connects individuals of all ages to opportunities for Soul-based growth.

IOPA: MORE THAN A DREAM

The Inside Out Performance Academy (IOPA) is the first step in pursuing a vision for the larger INSIDE OUT PROJECT. This project is best described as a family impact center where people of all ages can find resources and experiences for SOUL-based growth into a more fulfilling life journey.  IOPA was first a concept in the mind and heart of Dacia Lust while she was in college.  As the years played out, her life offered many experiences and growing opportunities that have accumulated to become a resource bank she feels driven to share.  This resource bank offers Dacia the tools to create a unique environment for individuals to dig deeper into the discovery of their own resource bank, cultivating their unique way of bringing their BEST SELF to this journey we call life. The HOPE is that the participants might discover the JOY of living from the INSIDE OUT as opposed to living based on what the outside world imposes on them. The human being is designed with a deep knowing of one’s truest self.  IOPA offers creative opportunities through group settings as well as individual training that leads to skill development for discovering and living out their most authentic life story.

WHY?  Excellent question.  Dacia recognizes this beautiful and sometimes wacky world we live in offers some people its very best in life experiences. At the same time, it often does not offer other individuals ways to connect to the best package of resources for their particular life design.  Often we are so distracted by what’s going on around us — outside of us — that we don’t have space left to listen to our internal interests and longings. Schools, churches, political organizations, businesses, etc. all begin with the intent to offer their communities, and therefore the world, better options.  At IOPA we are concerned no one entity can meet every need out there.  We also recognize that we see a lot of unmet potential in our circles of life. What can we do to help?  IOPA intends to STEP UP to the challenge of offering fresh, creative ways to help fill in some of these empty spaces that are summoning the world to RAISE the bar of human potential. Humankind has its best days ahead.  IOPA and all of its associates strive to equip as many as possible to meet that goal from the INSIDE OUT.
