Artur Rybowicz is the creator of The Integral Education System of Personal Development and the founder of The Integral Education Society. His newest 2008 Project is The Social Passion Revolution, a social movement whose members are given a free access to practical realization of their passion and all help needed to activate one's personal transformation process through this engagement.

He has studied for over 15 years (1986-2003) at the universities in Poland, Ireland and Japan and holds Bachelor Degrees in Philosophy, Psychology and Theology as well as Master Degrees in Physical Education, Philosophy and Theology. As a matter of fact, he has also completed doctorate studies in Philosophy, Theology and in Physical Education, but by that time he hasn't cared about PhDs any more. As he says; Knowledge + Experience = Wisdom, and that's what he has always opted for, investing his time equally into studies and its field implementation. Finally field work took over and he became a full time educator, therapist and teacher. Meanwhile, he has achieved fluency in English and Japanese as well as a sufficient communication level in German, Italian, Russian and French.

Artur is also an experienced martial artist with Master Licences (Menkyo) in 7 Japanese martial arts and one of the few in Poland full members of The International Komei-Jyuku School of Iaijutsu, where he holds a position of the Head of the Committee of Discipline and Ethics. On top of that, Artur Rybowicz is The Grand Master of Shiaido-Iaijutsu, a unique martial art which implements the principle of Wakon-Yozai (an integration of Japanese Warrior Spirit with the Western Teachings). In this respect, he is an uchideshi (direct student) of Sekiguchi Takaaki Komei Soke, The 21st Grand Master of Muso-Jikiden Eishin-Ryu.

He is the author of dozens of articles and a few but heavy loaded books about personal life philosophy, practical spirituality, personal development, integral education and martial arts (e.g.title trans. John Macmurray's Personal Universe, Pearls of Wisdom, 4 volumes of The Integral Education - Holistic System of Personal Development, e-book; CMBC Intensive - Course in Personal Development).

Artur is happily married to Aneta, an art teacher, singer and dancer and they have got two boys, Matt (4) and Jacob (1). Because most of their activities and project are offered for free, Artur also makes a living teaching English, Ethics and Japanese at High School and University. Nevertheless, majority of their spare time is spend on leading their educational projects and workshops working with their devoted team of Educators in cooperation with universities and organizations in Silesia Region, Poland.

The newest project launched in January 2008 The Social Passion Revolution is a real breakthrough in the field of recreation and fitness for it not only offers a free access to all the classes in over dozen disciplines, but what's even more essential, it provides a personal guidance to all the participants helping them to transform their whole life through the power of their passion. The SPR Movement is growing with the speed of light even though the groups are limited to maximum ten members to provide the best conditions for personal growth. What's more, there is no any form of advertising or even announcement in the papers and media. The good new spreads through the power of personal recommendation - friends to friends only. So, Be inspired - read, re-think, recommend, and then put your passion into play!!!
