Founders
Solihin Malim Thom
Founder of Ad Humanitas and Developer of InnerDialogue
His life has been marked by constant travel; first with his parents, then as a schoolboy, and now as an adult. He has been fortunate to have also lived in many places; Cyprus, Lebanon, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Afghanistan, England, United States and now Russia.
In 1980, Solihin graduated from the British School of Osteopathy and began one of the first multi-disciplinary alternative practices in London. In 1984 he trained in clinical acupuncture in Colombo, Sri Lanka, under the auspices of the World Health Organization. He was first introduced to a variety of kinesiologies and then to clinical kinesiology by Dr. John Bandy, and then taught by Dr. Meldener, both chiropractic physicians to use Applied Kinesiology as a feedback tool.
In 1984, Solihin then met the Alan Beardall DC, who introduced a new model of work called Clinical Kinesiology. After this initial introduction to clinical kinesiology, and the sudden and tragic death of Alan Beardall, Solihin began to develop his own work through the action of his spiritual path of surrender to God.
Over the last twenty years, Solihin’s work has refined and expanded his body of work to include practitioner and personal development workshops which are being taught in the US, Russia, Switzerland, Austria and such diverse locations as Morocco, Bali Italy and India. Solihin is a regular speaker and facilitator at world health conferences, and was a regular contributor to both the American Holistic Health Association and the prestigious Cranial Academy of the American Osteopathic Association, whilst residing in the US.
Alicia Thom
Founder of Ad Humanitas and Developer of InnerDialogue
The oldest of five children, she attended a Waldorf school, where she first began to realize the importance of community life. At age fifteen, her family moved to Indonesia, which allowed her to broaden her view of the world and its rich and diverse cultures, giving her a unique perspective on life.
In 1989 she became a Master NLP practitioner and is now a fully accredited Life Coach. Married since 1976, she and her husband Solihin moved to Oregon with their four children in 1991 with the vision of introducing their work in this country.
Alicia’s life experience and travel to many different countries brings a unique perspective to her work. She has co-facilitated personal development workshops with her husband Solihin for over fourteen years in the US and internationally. In 2002, she presented at the Guerrand-Hermes Foundation for Peace Conference, in Kalimantan, Indonesia. In addition, she has recently developed the Sacred Woman workshop where she offers an opportunity for women to explore and recognize their innate qualities and resources. She and Solihin continue to co-facilitate the series of workshops known as ‘Being Human: the Life Forces, sharing not only their work, but also their passion for life and all that it has to offer. Alicia and Solihin now live in Moscow, Russia.
Their book, Being Human: Exploring the forces that shape us and awaken an inner life, is available through this site on line, at Amazon.com or at good bookshops everywhere.
