Founding History

In 2006, Diane Williams founded The Source of Synergy Foundation, a 501c3 not‐for‐profit educational organization (incorporated on August 7, 2007). The Source of Synergy Foundation ignites the power of synergy to expand and deepen connection, collaboration, and consciousness where together we achieve more than we ever could alone. Having worked within the United Nations community for over a decade and served as a consultant for many organizations and on committees that supported various initiatives within the conscious community, she created The Source of Synergy Foundation in part to explore ways these extended networks might effectively be brought together to support greater synergy among them. Also, to support others in tapping into Source, a single, universal field out of which everything emerges, where we are united in Oneness. Our Foundation is built upon exploring, utilizing, and awakening to our innate qualities and capacities as conscious, evolving expressions of Source. Founding Board of Directors in 2007 were Ashok Gangadean, Deva Kaur Khalsa, Pamela Kraft, Diane Longboat, Judy Martin, Rod McGrew, Nina Meyerhof, Deborah Moldow (Treasurer), Gerard Senehi (Vice President), Emily Squires (Secretary) and Diane Williams (Chair & President).

The organization’s first project was the Evolutionary Leaders Circle began in late 2006 and is still active today with over 300 members. Source of Synergy Foundation has organized annual Evolutionary Leaders Retreats and Advances, Synergy Circles and Collaboratories on diverse topics, put out A Call to Conscious Evolution signed by approximately 50,000 people https://evolutionaryleaders.net/acalltoconsciousevolution/ and The Edge - Evolutionary Leaders newsletter.

On August 31, 2010, the Evolutionary Leaders Circle held their first public event A Call to Conscious Evolution: Our Moment of Choice, where fifty Evolutionary Leaders came together to co‐create an extraordinary experience of unity – expressed in the "evocation" by Rev. Dr. Michael B. Beckwith as, "a leap into the possibilities that are aching to express themselves." The 1,500 people attending live in Royce Hall at UCLA in Los Angeles could feel the excitement; while over a thousand signed on to view the event online.

Over the past two decades the Source of Synergy Foundation has organized Synergy Fusion Fests, Lounges, Salons and Evolutionary Round Tables, Journey's to Bear Witness to Global Challenges, given out Synergy Superstar Awards and put out our first Book: Our Moment of Choice, Evolutionary Visions and Hope for the Future. We have also initiated an Evolutionary Partners Network made up of organizations, movements, and conscious businesses.
