Who We Are

The Trinity Institute for Applied Neuroscience and Spirituality (referred to by the acronym TIANS) was founded in 2016 to explore ways to help us understand ourselves better; to be aware of why we think and feel the way we do, in effort to nurture our true nature. While emerging out of Trinity Church Branford, CT, we are a separate, secular 501(c)3 non-profit. We charge no fees for our services and are funded by benefactors who strongly believe in the value of the work.
