Welcome
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
Fifty years on from its inauguration in 1970,
we announce our Summer Course for 2020.
"Alone and Together"
"Only a society that can preserve its internal cohesion and collective values, while at the same time granting the individual the greatest possible freedom has any prospect of enduring vitality."
C.G. JUNG Psychological Types
The Summer Course was created by Irene Champernowne in 1970 ‘to be a time and space where people working in these fields* could “recharge their batteries”, when they could “take in” for themselves, instead of the “giving out” they were involved in for the rest of the year.”
"Everyone was to have the opportunity of experiencing, personally, the integrating power of creativeness.”
*Psychotherapy and the Arts

Quotes from past course members:
...an extraordinary and unique course... the atmosphere of warmth and support. It helped me enormously both in a therapeutic sense and also as a simple, peaceful restorative treat.
I think it is WONDERFUL... it gave me personally a sense of freedom to express myself and be all that I could be.
... a place where being holistic and intuitive is normal, instead of being alternative and different as it is in the world in general ... a chance to step back from my life, to renew and grow.
Truly wonderful experience ... the spirit is so beautiful... unique.
