Hoffman Institute

The Hoffman Institute Foundation is a non-profit organization based in San Rafael, California. As a 501 (c)(3) charity, the organization focuses on personal development and operates a retreat facility. With 61 employees, the Hoffman Institute Foundation generates $50 million in annual revenue. The Hoffman Institute Foundation offers the Hoffman Process, an eight-day residential course designed to facilitate personal growth and self-discovery. This intensive experience, held in picturesque locations in California's wine country and the Berkshire Mountains of Massachusetts, aims to help individuals understand their behaviors and motivations. Scientific research published in the journal EXPLORE: The Journal of Science and Healing highlights the positive long-term effects of the Hoffman Process. The study, conducted by professors Michael R. Levenson and Carolyn M. Aldwin of the University of California at Davis, demonstrated significant reductions in depression, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive tendencies among participants. Moreover, the research showed lasting increases in emotional intelligence, life satisfaction, compassion, vitality, and forgiveness.
