Dear friends and colleagues:

It was with great sadness that I inform you of the passing of our founder and mentor, Dr. Alexander Lowen. While expected, Al's death nevertheless carries the shock of immediacy and finality. It falls to us now to honor his legacy. We have little information about the circumstances of his death, other than it occurred on Tuesday October 28, and it seems he passed peacefully. We have many different layers of connection to Al in our community, some near to him, others from afar, but we are all the beneficiaries of his courage and determination. The loss will be felt in many ways. I hope this serves as an opportunity for us to come together as a community and value our common heritage and grieve our loss together. Plans are underway for a events memorializing Al and his enormous contribution to our work and to our organization, and will be announced shortly.

Scott Baum, Ph.D. on behalf of the IIBA Board of Trustee.
