About
The International Remote Viewing Association is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit committed to advancing the responsible development and application of remote viewing, the structured perceptual methodology first developed in classified Cold War intelligence programs and carried since into research and civilian practice. IRVA brings together researchers, practitioners and students with a shared interest in understanding the field.
Its resources are distinctive. Members have access to the complete CIA Star Gate archives, the government's own remote viewing program files, alongside Aperture magazine, newsletters, a library of methodologies and published research. IRVA ED runs a formal education program with new courses added regularly, and the association sponsors events and an annual conference (2025 conference videos are available), plus a research unit and study projects.
The organization also runs practice infrastructure: a practice focal point and target service, a practice group on Facebook, and IRVA IC communities for members. With a timeline of the field, published principles of community, and membership tiers, IRVA functions as the field's institutional memory and its professional home. The institution's stated mission: To advance the responsible development and application of remote viewing.
