Our Mission
“IOPA’s mission is to offer creative arts, innovative experiences and performance to empower participants to discover, cultivate and challenge their inner potential and make a positive impact within their family, in our community and beyond.”
Our Story
Dacia Lust first imagined Inside Out Performance Academy while attending college. As she progressed through her life, she accumulated a wealth of knowledge and experiences that she felt driven to share with others.
In the beginning, IOPA was just a concept – of a family impact center that would be dedicated to helping people of all ages and backgrounds to find resources, as well as experiences, that would aid spiritually-based growth and nurture them into having a more fulfilling life.
Now, IOPA is a fully functioning and quickly growing academy that is still devoted to sharing Dacia’s wealth of knowledge to all those enrolled.
Our Goal
Our hope for IOPA is that those enrolled in our academy might discover the joy of living from the inside out, instead of living based on what the outside world tells them they have to be.
IOPA offers many creative opportunities through group settings, as well as individual training and education that will lead to skills developed for discovering and living out their most authentic life story.
Bottom Line
We value people who want something different – something better that will give depth and soul to their experience in life. This dream has generated excitement from many we have already shared it with.
Let’s not just talk of a desire to see things beginning to change for the better. Let’s show our children and community what it really means to look and be the change we want to see in the world.
