The Innerwork Center

The Innerwork Center is a catalyst for well-being through programs that inspire curiosity, cultivate mindfulness, and awaken the spirit. We envision an individual and collective human experience rich with compassion, authenticity, and meaning. Founded in 1994 as Chrysalis, The Innerwork Center is a welcoming place for Richmonders to address big questions like: Who am I? Why am I here? Is there more to life than this? How do I find meaning and purpose? How can I become more mindful? More present? More compassionate to myself and others? What can I learn from wise people and world traditions? Where can I go to explore this vast ocean of questions? We’re a 501c3 nonprofit organization in Richmond’s Museum District offering award-winning keynotes, single and multi-session programs, retreats, donation-based drop-ins, and other unique opportunities to do inner work individually and collectively. Our program categories include Mindfulness, Creative Expression and Movement, Psychology and Consciousness, and Wisdom Traditions and Spirituality. We may be small and humble, but we're not afraid to ask the big questions!
