The Personal Empowerment Institute

In 1990, Phillip McKewin began to study Epistemology - the philosophy of how we know what we think we know. Phil's determination to 'seek the truth at all costs', lead him to study the multi-dimensions of Personal Awareness. Feeling compelled to share with others the knowledge and wisdom he gained from deeply questioning and extensively researching many philosophies, Phillip identified a need for the provision of personal training's that facilitate permanent, deep change for its participants, and from here, the Institute was created.

The Institute's philosophy is simple, 'Man Know Thyself'. Awareness of the self is the first step to taking personal responsibility on the journey of healing, reclaiming and redefining your life. The Institute's techniques of self mastery and their groundbreaking psychology of change, encourages the courageous sharing of emotional honesty, and provides you with an enormous source of personal insight to facilitate the process of awakening you to your highest potential. The first step in changing your reality and aligning your life with your highest purpose, is to change your internal experience of yourself, and the world. We offer paradigm shifting tools to foster this inner reflection.

Some of the great teachers that have influenced the Institution's own approaches and philosophies include Graeme O'Brien - Master of Emotional Healing, Milton Ericson - Father of Psychology, Fritz Perls - for his research in understanding Gestalt Therapy, Carl Jung - who impacted and expanded our understandings of Consciousness, and Alice Miller - who was instrumental in early Childhood and Family Development. We thank these, and many others, for their contribution to the Institute's success. Click here for more information on these teachers and philosophies

The Institute was originally founded in the Hunter Valley of New South Wales, Australia. After six successful years of working with thousands of people in a workshop environment, the decision was made to expand and take the Institutes message Internationally.
