The
S.O.A.R. Institute's process is designed around four imperatives. Ontology
and Axiology, the two methodologies underpinning our work seamlessly
combine Science and Philosophy as the platform to launch into our third component, the process of Immersion. By being fully Immersed in any
process, learning multiplies exponentially creating rapid and effective shift.
The fourth aspect encapsulating everything is the context of Full Responsibility.
Every process we are called on to intervene in always begins with the
individual, team or collective acknowledging and accepting full responsibility
for the situation. Until the context of full responsibility is accepted, any
resolution will at best be only partial, with no sustained shift evident. We
can either accept that we are the Cause or we are doomed to forever remain in
effect.
The power of the SOAR Institute process lies in harnessing these four disciplines to provide the individual, the team and organisation with a methodology that differs substantially in its approach, efficacy, sustainability and outcomes. 
Axiology Axiology, the science of human values, enables us to identify the internal valuing systems that influence our perceptions, decisions and actions - to clearly understand "why" we do what we do! Dr. Robert S. Hartman was nominated for the Nobel Prize for his contributions in value measurement using Axiology. Hartman's value mathematics makes it possible to measure human values as accurately as a thermometer measures temperature.

Ontology Ontology is the study of being, and is an inquiry into the nature of human existence. It is the exploration of how human beings make sense of themselves and their world. An enquiry into the Ontology of being human raises certain key questions: What is it to be human? What is the meaning of life? What is life’s purpose or what is an individual's life purpose?

Our most powerful life experiences typically take place in a total immersion context, engaging all three of the modalities of learning and gathering information from all three sources. The natural learning system functions best when the learner is completely immersed in the learning event. Learning through immersion is fundamental to the processors, workshops and coaching at the SOAR Institute. One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to SOAR-Helen Keller  |
