Centers Gathering

The International Holistic Centers Gathering serves as the principal meeting point for Centers both well established and new that address the new consciousness currently emerging worldwide. It includes rural retreat centers, urban learning centers, accredited and non-accredited organizations, that work toward the goal of transforming individual lives and fostering a culture of greater holistic, ecological and spiritual awareness and practice.

The Spirit of Collaboration

The Centers’ Gathering began very informally in the mid 80’s with a weekend get together of some of America’s major centers at the Tarrytown Conference Center an hour north of New York City. Participants included program and executive directors from the New York Open Center, Esalen Institute and Omega Institute. A clear sense quickly emerged that there was genuine value in the Centers meeting in a relaxed and friendly spirit of collaboration.

Centers Gathering: A Personal History

By Ralph White

Timeline

The Gathering began informally in the mid 80s and moved between various centers on the East and West coast of the United States. During the 90s it was hosted by various centers in Eastern and Central Europe, before returning to North America in the 00s. In 2012, the Gathering welcomed representatives from five continents becoming truly global. In 2015 it was held in Asia for the first time and hosted by a Center in China.

I feel so touched by the personal connections and conversations, of people wanting to know more. The power of this group is emanating out. What an influence we can have on our global society. Here at the Gathering we are a microcosm of our home centers.

This gathering has been INCREDIBLE. As a small center based way out in Yosemite National Park, I really feel folded into the greater network. This feels so vital. Thank you for creating this!
