The Open Centre has closed



The Open Centre was one of the longest established growth centres for self-development in the UK, having been founded in 1977 in its original premises at 188 Old Street, London EC1, which have now closed down.

For 46 years, the Open Centre has been a home for the growth movement, holding numerous group workshops and sessions such as Primal Integration, Bioenergetics, Postural Integration, Pulsing, Encounter, Feldenkrais, Transactional Analysis, Psychodrama, Gestalt, and Bodywork, amongst others. Its premises were suitable to allow work that was physical, expressive, cathartic and loud, rather than being confined to the verbal.

The programme of Primal Integration groups which was held in the Open Centre will continue elsewhere. For more info see www.primalintegration.com

This website will continue as an informational resource for the time being.

We acknowledge and appreciate the many clients and practitioners who have been a part of the Open Centre’s remarkable existence over the last 46 years. We wish you well.
