International Human Learning Resources Network (IHLRN) is an organization founded in 1969 by Virginia Satir, a pioneer in the field of family therapy. She wanted to bring together colleagues from around the world who were interested in exploring humanistic approaches. This network evolved into a unique community in which people could share their expertise, learn from each other, try out new ideas and be together in a group that was welcoming, and embraced the uniqueness of each individual. These week long conferences have been held for over 50 years.
