About Finders
Our Story
Dr. Jeffery A. Martin and the Center for the Study of Non‑Symbolic Consciousness spent years researching one of the most profound transformations a person can experience—a lasting shift in how we relate to ourselves, others, and the world. We call this identity shift becoming a Finder.
Along the way, one thing became clear: the Finder identity, quietly lived by people across cultures and traditions, needed to be made visible, understandable, and accessible to everyone.
Now, under the leadership of CEO Melissa Stires and Chief Visionary Officer Jocelyn Reyburn, we’re turning that research into real-world support: practical tools, meaningful guidance, and a welcoming community for living fully in Fundamental Wellbeing.
You can be part of that story.
