Our story spans from the brush country of deep South Texas to the Pacific Northwest and journeys across the ocean of sound and time into Belgium and Scotland...

The genesis for this project dates back to 2004. Founder and Executive Director Mark Joseph Ramírez planted the seeds of one day creating transformative educational experiences that could create opportunities through the inter- and cross-disciplinary platforms of the Arts, Humanities, and Health and Wellness. Strategic planning behind the infrastructure of IPI has truly evolved over the last 12 years, and it was in the Spring of 2015 when the opportunity presented itself to turn theory into reality. Mark's fortuitous connection with esteemed colleagues Lisa Nicol and Chris Whyte, founding members of IPI, created the spark that will change the landscape of experiential education.
