What Group Relations International does
Mission
We serve as a home for people who have experienced the power of group relations work, particularly in combination with spirituality and social justice. We want to nurture the group relations network by offering a place to co-create as individuals and/or organizations. We are open to collaboration around group relations conferences and application events, writing, reflecting and meeting. We offer to stay connected with "the work" in various ways. We pay attention to where the energy takes us.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
Small study group training february 2025: the small study group training is an excellent opportunity to practice group-as-a-whole consulting skills for those who have previously attended at least two group relations conferences or equivalent events. Participants will rotate between member and consultant roles. Each participant will consult twice to a small study group, once alone and once in a pair. At the end of the session the participant receives feedback in public from a senior group relations consultant. Participants will have an additional one-to-one debrief opportunity with a staff consultant for 30 minutes in the days following taking up the consulting role. 16 people participated in this event.
$4,500 spent9% of program spendingSilent retreat february 2025: participants spend five days in silence. External silence, the absence of words and a quiet environment, helps the paticipants to come closer to an internal silence, one where their racing thoughts slow down and can really listen to themselves and be in touch with their environment in different ways. Participants will try to leave behind what distracts them from internal silence and they will engage what helps foster stillness. Generally speaking, this may mean that they leave behind books, computers, music and phones and we engage in walks, reflection and meditation. Of course, individual journeys vary in what helps and hinders their silence. 8 people participated in this event.
$7,841 spent16% of program spendingEnsenada conference (july 2025): group relations conferences are experiential learning events in which participants learn from their experience while they study their own (individual and collective) behavior in the moment in small and large study group settings. There are also a number of reflective events offered to help the participant make sense of their experience and to apply their learning to their organization back home. Although specific learning is not prescribed, typically participants have learnings related to the following concepts: boundaries, authority, role, task, leadership, followership, group dynamics, representation, the unconscious, levels of analysis, voice and agency, patterns of behavior, etc. 52 people participated in this event.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $85k to $114k (+35%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
5% of GROUP RELATIONS INTERNATIONAL’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (77% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.
Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
