A former teacher, an empowering leader and a dynamic speaker, Kimberly Gibbons is ecstatic about the opportunity to participate in the Integral Teaching Fellowship at CIIS. With a B.A. from UC Irvine and a Master’s degree in Women’s Spirituality from the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology (currently Sofia University), Kimberly is currently working on her PhD in Philosophy and Religion with an emphasis in Women's Spirituality at CIIS. She believes strongly that it is our responsibility as engaged humans and future teachers and scholars to connect with the next generation, helping them to discover the power and beauty of what it means to be a conscious, empowered, and responsible human being.
