HAI or Human Awareness Institute come out of California and the hippy times of the 60s and 70s. It was started by one guy, now deceased and is now active in several countries. From my research I found (before attending) a lot of rubbish that has been written. It is NOT a cult and you only go as far as you want in any part of the course. You are 'AT CHOICE' every step of the way and each course has helpers who act as councillors to anyone who is finding this sort of thing challenging.
By 'this sort of thing' I mean disrobing in a room full of strangers, touching and stroking each other's (sometimes naked) bodies and hugging (a lot) people of all sexes who are more often than not naked too.
If that sort of thing sounds interesting to you, come back soon for a long and hopefully detailed set of accounts of my time there. What happens at HAI is highly secret (confidential) and I'm hiding behind my OCC persona, should I ever decide to go back one day. I'll use only the first initial of any first names (surnames are never made available at HAI) and as the course is in the UK, most people are Brits, the odd non Brit I'll mention when they appear.
Stand by for the story of my arrival at my first Level 1 course in a few days time!
