Who Should be a Member?

Individuals

IPN membership is for anyone interested in relating process thought to his or her life and work. People attracted to process thought include mathematicians, educators, physicists, biologists, chemists, neurologists, psychiatrists, psychologists, ecologists, economists, ethicists, psychotherapists, and philosophers (including those interested in analytical philosophy, bio-philosophy, ethics, metaphysics, cosmology, post-structuralism, and phenomenology); and persons interested in religion including classical and indigenous traditions. If you are a professional, an academic or aspiring student in any of these areas, or if you are a person interested in working with others, membership in IPN may be for you.

Organizations

Process-related organizations are at the core of IPN because most of the important work is done by them. A primary purpose of IPN is to support process-related organizations and assist in the formation of additional such organizations. If you are part of such an organization, membership might be for your organization.
