Abstract
Many people have seen recently the advertisements for Arica training, and may have wondered what it was all about. We were interested too, and talked to a number of people who had taken the course. Here we offer three small items which may help to give some kind of feel for what it is all about. The first is an extract from an interview with Oscar Ichazo, which originally appeared in ‘Psychology Today’ and is now used as a handout by the Africa Institute. The second is an extract from an interview with Celia Weaver, who took the 40-day course in Summer 1973. And the third is a brief attempt, by John Rowan, to relate Africa training to other group work.
