About the Pari Center
The Pari Center 2000-2025
This year The Pari Center celebrates its 25th anniversary. The Center provides a haven of peace and gentle action in a world increasingly gripped by crisis and turmoil. It is a place dedicated to the idea of the wholeness of knowledge; the arts, science, ethical values, community and the sacred, all coming together within the ambience of a medieval village. It’s a space where people can gather together, to learn from one another, to discuss, reflect, to work on a project and, most importantly, to meet and talk with others at the human and personal level. We are grateful for all our friends and supporters over the past 25 years and look forward to celebrating with them the next quarter-century.
A modern Center with ancient roots
Housed in a medieval village, it is the ideal location to pause and think about the future and the values, meaning, and direction of contemporary society.
All-year round courses and events
Residential conferences, courses, workshops and seminars. We also host regular webinars that investigate different topics in depth.
A valuable source of knowledge
From the philosophy and work of David Bohm to the ideas of C.G. Jung, the contribution of Indigenous knowledge, and David Peat’s Gentle Action.

This is Pari, our home
A medieval village set in the heart of Tuscany, surrounded by gentle hills, and rich in values and history. F. David Peat saw Pari as a vessel and a safe haven, where there is “something of great value that could be carried into our common future.”
Into the Blue: Chasing the Spirit of David Bohm
We are pleased to announce that Lee Nichol, friend and colleague of David Bohm and Director of Bohmian Studies at the Pari Center, will be releasing his new book in 2026.
Lee has previously shared his books on the work of David Bohm—Holoflux Codex and Entering Bohm’s Holoflux—with the Pari Center community. We are now delighted to announce that a third book, Into the Blue: Chasing the Spirit of David Bohm, is nearing completion and is scheduled for paperback release in mid-2026.
The first chapter of this forthcoming book is available to download free of charge, along with prefatory comments accompanying the excerpt.
Entering Bohm’s Holoflux
By Lee Nichol
Download the beautifully illustrated book by Lee Nichol – Entering Bohm’s Holoflux, which documents the highlights of a 15-part video series sponsored by the Pari Center.
Bohm’s vision for dialogue is crystal clear—he speaks of three aspects of human experience—the individual, the collective, and the cosmic. Entering Bohm’s Holoflux addresses the full spectrum of David Bohm’s work with dialogue, with emphasis on the individual and cosmic aspects, which are often neglected in many presentations of Bohm’s work. Lee Nichol’s Entering Bohm’s Holoflux explores portions of a forty-year inquiry into ‘individual’ work, as well as more recent probings into what Bohm might have been indicating by the ‘cosmic’ dimension of the human being.
It is offered free, in the spirit of furthering true inquiry into the nature of human being.
