The Center and Clare Goodwin, artist, mandala maker and former SC staff member, have produced a set of 20 Evocative Word cards, which are for sale on Clare's site. The technique of Evocative Words was formulated by Dr. Roberto Assagioli, the founder of psychosynthesis and explained in detail in his book:The Act of Will(Chapter 6 on The Skillful Will). They are very nicely done, so have a look.

The 2012 Psychosynthesis Conference in Rome has been announced, information and a "call for papers" has been posted in English on the Istituto di Psicosintesi web site here.
