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

The origins of the International Holistic Centers’ Gathering came about almost accidentally when in 1985 the owner of Tarrytown Conference Center located an hour north of New York City, a former Life magazine journalist, invited the directors and program directors of a handful of holistic centers to spend the weekend discussing the trends emerging in our culture. I was fortunate to be among that original group and it has been a strong blessing, one that has opened many doors, that life has enabled me to attend almost every Gathering since over the course of thirty years.

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. View the complete timeline below. [Read more…]

The 2020 Gathering…

The international Centers Gathering was originally being hosted by Esalen in May this year, the birthplace of the human potential movement,

Given the unexpected crisis around the world, with many people 'staying in place' and centers closing temporarily, HCN is now offering a virtual gathering for holistic centers.

We come together to meet the challenges, and embrace the opportunities of an ever deepening sense of community, in service to the renewal and rebalancing of the world.

Network of Light Meditation

Our global meditation to strengthen the network is every Thursday 2pm GMT.

We invite you to join Insight Timer and actively contribute to more stillness in the world.

When you join Insight Timer you become part of a world-wide community of more than 950,000 meditators in 130 countries.

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!
