In February of 2016 a symposium was held in Scottsdale, Arizona where leaders from all over the nation gathered to begin a conversation about love and transformation. After the symposium several of them discussed where to go from there, and the Institute was born. The Love and Transformation Institute was created for the conversation to continue and the ideas that germinated at the symposium to take root. In 2017, LTI was launched as a non-profit organization, and Kent and Ben were commissioned to spearhead its development.
