Seminars of the Psychosynthesis Research Foundation

In the period 1966 to 1974, PRF organized monthly seminars and invited local speakers who were interested in psychosynthesis to cover a broad range of subjects, always followed by a lively discussion. The documents were scanned and put in PDF format.
