This Richmond gnostic communi was first established in 1985, and the earliest classes were given at the director’s house. The center was moved to a house on Jhanke Road in 1987, and the interior was converted into a lecture hall environment. In 1993 the center was relocated to a more suitable and expansive location where it is currently located on five acres on Warwick Road. Located on the Institute’s grounds are a number of buildings that are used for class purposes: a library, a private temple, an outside lecture hall, an outside meditation area, and a retreat center. Classes are given every day of the week and are taught in both English and Spanish on alternating days.  Over the years have grown our congregation past the Virginia borders and have members in both Maryland and North Carolina. Members of all ages come to our center and learn about the teachings left by the Master Samael Aun Weor to take with them and practice every day.
