Abstract
Based on participant-observation in a LIFE SPRING training, we argue that this manifestation of the human potential movement uses various techniques and cultural values to convince training participants that culture has no power over them. This tendency to deny the impact of culture is rooted in our cultural history, with its most recent ard powerful advocate being humanistic psychology.Keywords
