1990-2000
The Foundation continued under the leadership of its Board of Directors, co-chaired by educators Jack Zimmerman and Virginia Coyle, both of whom had worked with TOF since its earliest days. Jack and Gigi, together with fellow TOF elders Leon Berg and Lola Rae Long, played a central role in developing the facilities and disseminating the Way of Council here and abroad.
Under their direction, the Foundation's seminal communication practices spread to schools, businesses, healing centers, spiritual and religious communities, and to many for-profit and nonprofit organizations, including the the PeaceMaker Order, Xerox Corporation, and Spirit Rock Meditation Center to name but a few.
The Way of Council, by Jack Zimmerman and Gigi Coyle, was published in 1996 and has been instrumental in helping to take Council into the world.
Jack was particularly passionate in bringing Council to the lives of children. With his guiding vision, the Foundation's council work and 
"Mysteries" programs at Crossroads High School in Santa Monica (ongoing since the early 1980s) spread to include numerous private and public middle and high schools in Los Angeles and across the country. Teachers and administrators have praised this work as vital in helping young people develop basic life skills and healthy self-esteem through clear and compassionate communication.
In parallel with these school initiatives, Gigi, in partnership with Jack, Marlow Hotchkiss and others, explored the use of council in such divergent applications as solo vision fasts and corporate training programs. Gigi carried Council into her work with wilderness rites of passage through her role as associate director of The School of Lost Borders. Her course the Nature of Council and her leadership intensives with both TOF and The School of Lost Borders continue themes of earth-based wisdom and eco-therapy seeded in the early days of the Wizard's Camp in Ojai.
Increased demand for additional Council programs away from the retreat center and in educational, therapeutic and business arenas led, in 1999, to the creation of the Center for Council Training (CCT).
CCT was established to provide ongoing trainings and programs, in-service and retreat-based internships, and support for schools, businesses and communities implementing Council in the world. CCT is structured as a decentralized network of "pods," or local support groups. Today, CCT is increasingly worldwide in its reach, with ongoing trainings and programs in North America, Europe, Israel and South Africa.
