Centre for Human Communication

Centre for Human Communication

The first Centre for Human Communication was founded in 1971 by Kevin Kingsland [ [http://www.business-psychology.com/whois.asp Kevin Kingsland ] ] and Venika Kingsland in Devon, England, to provide an intentional centre for personal and community development.

They proposed that human communication is the basis of society and the creator of community and that through deep human communication comes the most positive of human experience: co-operation, sharing, harmony, peace, love and creativity.

A founding principle of the Centre was that the quality of our culture depends on the quality of our communication. Education, scientific advance, artistic elevation and personal expansion are made possible through human communication.

Purpose of the Centre

The purpose of the Centre for Human Communication was articulated in its 1978 Education Prospectus: "The centres are more like living organisms than rigid institutions. In recent years the pace of life has quickened and many organisations have been unable to respond appropriately to the revolution that is taking place in the world. Humankind is participating in a global renaissance. The Centres for Human Communication are committed to the positive evolution of humanity through the power of creativity, communication and consciousness. Apart from this the Centres have no philosophy, doctrine or affiliation whatsoever."

Achievements

The Centre pioneered research in human communication, personal and organisational development. Work on Vision was one of the centre's earliest achievements at the beginning of the 1970s. The original Vision to Action model (later also called Vision to Reality) was invented at this time by Kevin Kingsland and shared through hundreds of seminars and communication groups. It is a seven level model which describes the way a vision incarnates as it unfolds through the levels of the mind and is reified. Subsequently tens of thousands of businesses were set up using the Vision to Action/Reality process.

Development

Like any true growth centre, the original centre itself grew and replicated reflecting the growth of the individuals who manifest the Centre. Subsequently other centres emerged in Britain: Torquay, Exeter, Carlisle, Westbury. Others were established abroad, some physical and some virtual. Like any developed human being each centre is unique although all centres have certain features in common. It is the view of the founders that ultimately there is only one Centre.

Many individuals have been inspired by this, and have made use of it in related disciplines and professions.
