It is situated in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains on 730 acres called the New Land. Woods, ridges, pastures, streams and awe-inspiring views of the mountains are a daily diet for participants. Sessions take place in the Cen- ter, which is a building designed and constructed not only for,ulti- mate comfort and relaxation, but with unique learning facilities which include large and small meet- ing rooms and twenty-four CHEC (Controlled Holistic Environmental Chamber) units. The CHEC units have a dual function, in that they are the sleeping quarters for the participant, as well as a very spe- cialized learning center, supplied with headphones and environmental equipment. There is no other known facility in the world like this. The setting for the Center is also a key element in -the learn.- ing experience. The pastoral beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains, away from the tensions and noises of the city, gives immediate impetus to mental and physical relaxation. Charlottesville is the arrival point for those coming by plane, train or bus. Directions are avail- able for those arriving by automp bile. d Fo 10_.:_@- DP_q6_-.0(17MR00.7,,0021 MARCH 20-22 ......
