The Institute is located twenty
five miles south of Charlottesville
and ten miles north of Lovingston
in Nelson County, Virginia. It is
situated in the foothills of the
Blue Ridge Mountains on 730 acres
called the New Land. Woods, ridges,
pastures, streams and awe-inspiring
views of the mountains are a daily
diet for participants.
Sessions take place in the Cen-
ter, which is a building designed
and constructed not only for,ulti-
mate comfort and relaxation, but
with unique learning facilities
which include large and small meet-
ing rooms and twenty-four CHEC
(Controlled Holistic Environmental
Chamber) units. The CHEC units
have a dual function, in that they
are the sleeping quarters for the
participant, as well as a very spe-
cialized learning center, supplied
with headphones and environmental
equipment. There is no other known
facility in the world like this.
The setting for the Center is
also a key element in -the learn.-
ing experience. The pastoral beauty
of the Blue Ridge Mountains, away
from the tensions and noises of the
city, gives immediate impetus to
mental and physical relaxation.
Charlottesville is the arrival
point for those coming by plane,
train or bus. Directions are avail-
able for those arriving by automp
bile.

of each person, Psychosynthesis is
growth oriented, and directs a per-
son toward the actualization of la-
tent talents and abilities.
FASCINATIONS: REFLECTIONS OF THE
SELF IN NATURE: During this pro-
gram, the focus will be on the de-
velopment of transpersonal levels
of awareness. In a process called
"Fascinations", we will examine
and explore those aspects of the
land which attract our attention.
Then we will connect to our iri-
herent capacities to dialogue with
energy systems within the mineral,
plant and animal kingdoms.
WILDERNESS VISION QUEST: This is a
week-long backpacking trip which
has, as its purpose, the rediscov-
ery of our essential wholeness
through an intimate encounter with
nature. Through an intense group
process, and deep contact with the
land, we will harmonize body, feel-
ings and mind, and be open in dyna-
mic ways to Lite spiritual dimen-
sions of the world within and a-
round us.
