Our History
2009
Hosted the third annual conference of The Abrahamic Family Reunion at Esalen. TRACK TWO and CTR with the support of The Fetzer Foundation, coalesced an inter-faith leadership team of clergy and practitioners in the Bay Area and Los Angeles. We shared theories of change, “best practices”, educational materials and models for inter-group work. The powerful group interactions with the Abrahamic faiths helped us with commitments and projects for our ongoing work together.
Met with leading Russian political scientists, journalists, retired foreign-service officers, business executives, writers and filmmakers during our October trip to Russia. Our colleagues, some of almost thirty years, are ready and willing to engage in a new endeavor we are now calling the Esalen Russian-American Partnership Project (ERAPP.) It will build upon the past successes of similar projects sponsored by Esalen and TRACK TWO and will not advance any particular ideology or cause to the detriment of its primary purpose to strengthen the relationship between Russia and America.
Continued the development of TRACK TWO’s Library of Psychological Literature at Moscow State University, which is used on a daily basis by psychology students and faculty members for individual research as well as seminars and lectures. Because psychological studies were halted during most of the Soviet years, access to western materials is vital to the successful training of future psychologists in Russia. We have donated thousands of books, journals and educational CDs that give the library its foundation. We continue to help upgrade their technology so it can access the vast psychological information available on the web.
