The Pathwork began as a gathering of friends who were drawn to the extraordinary spiritual gifts manifesting through Eva Pierrakos. The wise teachings that came forth became known as the Pathwork Guide Lectures. They were transcribed and studied by a small group that began in New York City in 1957. Their enthusiasm and growing numbers led to the establishment of the first Pathwork center near Phoenicia, New York, in 1972. Today, Pathwork is studied and taught around the world.
