Arica Day of Light™
The purpose of The Arica Day of Light meditations is to experience the States of Transcendental Light. It is across these states that the Highest States of Consciousness can be attained.
To facilitate these experiences the Arica Day of Light includes different forms of meditation that incorporate breathing techniques and exercises, guided visualization, mantram or repetitions, yantras (colored meditational illustrations), the Enneagram of the Divine Principles, the Enneagram of the Divine Virtues, and work with a partner.
Length: One Day • Prerequisites: None
Arica Mentations Training™
The purpose of the Arica Mentations Training is to provide a method that unites body and mind into the clarity of a complete thought.
Thought is not the result of just one specialized organ, the brain. In the Arica Mentations Training, we learn to divide and differentiate the body into twelve parts, each of which provides information about reality, producing a unified sequence that is basic to the way our mind structures thought.
Thought can be analyzed in twelve Mentations. All twelve Mentations are needed to provide a complete thought. In the Arica Mentations Training, we learn how the twelve parts of the body provide us with our perceptions of reality, producing a unified sequence that is the way our mind intuitively structures thought.
You will learn and experience the Mentations through a variety of exercises that include meditations, descriptions of the anatomy and cognitive function of each Mentation, clarification exercises, breathing exercises, and bodywork. The twelve Mentations have a systematic correlation with the senses, organs and limbs, providing questions of analysis for each of the Mentations, changing our linear thinking into a multidimensional pattern capable of completely and clearly analyzing any specific situation. Then, with practice, the clarification of the Mentations provides clear, objective, and spontaneous responses to reality.

Arica Minds of Transcendence™
The purpose of the Arica Minds of Transcendence training is to show us how we can attain and integrate the Highest States of human experience and enter the Transcendental State, for the benefit of all. The Arica Minds of Transcendence Training is based upon the five specific Realms of Existence and Knowledge that make up a human being and that are the basis of the five Divine Minds.
The meditations with five Meditational Deities open the Higher States of the Divine Minds associated with each Realm, enabling entrance into the purest States of Awareness.
In the training, the five Divine Minds are united using introductory lectures, clarification processes, theater exercises, Kath State Generation movements, and meditations using yantras (meditational illustrations) of the Deities.
Two meditations at the end of the day will integrate the five Realms of Existence and Knowledge. The second meditation, using all the Realms, Divine Minds and Deities, will open the experience of the Integral State of Transcendence, the Transcendental State, in which all the Deities become one.

Chua K’a Bodywork®
The purpose of the Chua K’a Bodywork training is to learn a deep bodywork-massage done on oneself, that enables the body to evolve to its highest degree of sensitivity and awareness.
The impact of life experience creates networks of muscular tension (pain) that are remembered emotions. In this training, we work the tissues of the body with precise hand and finger positions and a tool called a “K’a”, and learn to transmit vital energy and the heat of the Kath (Chi Energy) to the bone, thus removing the long-held tensions and trauma. When we release physical tension, we release psychic tension as well, since the body and mind are an integrated system.
Length: 2 days • Prerequisites: None
Couple for Evolution™
The purpose of this two-day training is to develop an understanding of the couple process in order to gain knowledge and love in any relationship.
Specific enneagrams relate to each aspect of a couple’s relation process and, though geared toward the couple, it is also invaluable for understanding relationships in general.
The Couple for Evolution training is for couples and singles alike.
The training revolves around the five-pointed Key of the Couple, which describes the Couple of Fulfillment, the Conventional Couple, the Sentimental Couple, the Couple for Evolution, and the Essential Couple, and the training builds upon the processes of the enneagrams associated with these five points.
The antidotes to the lower structures of relationships then open the way into the State of Awareness that unites us with the Higher States.
The result of the training is an ongoing method that the participant can practice in order to re–enter a Higher State and attain the highest level of an essential, spiritual life — a life where love, happiness and joy abound, which reflects in the life of the couple or relationships in general.
The training includes breathing and movement exercises, meditations, Key Group processes, written processes, meditations with a partner, lecture material, and examples.
A booklet is provided for each person in the training, for note–taking, processing and referring to the Key of the Couple, enneagrams, lecture material, meditations, and meditation information. Because of the information being presented in the booklet, the training can be easily assimilated and processed by everyone.

Divine Forms Day™
The purpose of the Divine Forms Day is to gain a Transcendental Absolute perspective of Total Divine Reality. This training provides a comparison to the nine obscure and distorted points of view presented in the Enneagram of the nine “Ego–Fixations”.
An Ego–Fixation is a lower point of view and preoccupation, to which we are sensitive because of the absence of the corresponding Divine Form.
To restore the balance of the lost Divine Forms, we must first identify the Ego–Fixations by way of observation, recognition and katharsis (Gr. purification). Then, by entering into the State of the Absolute Mind and with the help of the Primordial Light, it is possible to open and disclose with transcendental, intuitive insight the content and nature of the Divine Forms.
The Divine Forms are historically described as the Pure Forms in the Mind of Superior Intellect, the supreme patterns of all creation.
Length: One day • Prerequisites: None

Kath State – The Energy of Inner Fire Training™
The purpose of this training is to embody five movements that are Oscar Ichazo’s Kath work (Qigong) work related to the Five Elements, as explained in Oscar Ichazo’s book Kath State, the Energy of Inner Fire. Breathing techniques and exercises are practiced to enhance the Kath State experience and generate chi (Kath energy) throughout the body.
Oscar adapted his five movements from Master Cheng Man–Ch’ing’s T’ai Chi Chuan and relates them to his theory of the Five Elements of Fire, Earth, Air, Water, and Space.
In his teaching each movement energizes the chi of the Element that he associates with the five physical aspects of the Realms of Existence and Knowledge found in the human body.
The training includes a complete Introduction that explains the Kath State and how this State is generated in the physical body. When chi is generated in specific areas of the body, the endocrine system related to that part of the body is awakened, regenerating all the organs and tissues of that area. When all five areas (Realms of Existence and Knowledge) are regenerated through these five movements, the Kath State is attained, becoming noticeable in the brain’s function and felt as vitality throughout the body.
Breathing techniques and exercises are employed to further enhance the Kath State experience. Slides are used in the training to give a clear presentation of the exercises and other material. Meditations with the five movements ensure that a proficient level of embodiment of the Kath State is attained from the day’s training.

The Arica Fixations Training™
The Arica Fixations Training provides us with a method of self-diagnosis (Autodiagnosis®). By identifying our personal experiences of early life and childhood as they relate to the enneagram, this method allows us to discover how our projections from past experiences affect and determine our entire ego development and everyday existence.
We are stuck in patterns and endless cycles of repetitive behaviour, causing us constant suffering and a feeling of being trapped.
The self-diagnosis (Autodiagnosis) method practiced in The Arica Fixations Training provides us with the recognition and understanding of our three Fixations, or Trifix™, using clearly–defined maps. Specific enneagrams and their application are used for clarification from our endless subjective processes of suffering into a level of witnessing our process objectively and clearly.
During the training, three meditations will be practiced. These meditations provide knowledge about the Fixations; the experience of Unity with others in the training and humanity at large; and the embodiment of a higher State of Mind that will awaken another perspective in you.
With the understanding provided by the training, the processes of life will become less demanding as your process is naturally reduced by specific knowledge, understanding and awareness, allowing your True Essential Nature to arise.
As with all the trainings of the School, this training is offered for the benefit of all and the realization of Humanity-One or a united humanity.
