Training Policies
In order to receive the maximum benefits from the Nine Hypergnostic Systems™ training, it is important that there be no drinking, drugs or smoking during the 14-day period that the trainings are being given. Drinking, drug-taking and smoking cause changes in the body and mind that prevent the purified Higher States of Mind from being attained. It is best to stop well in advance before coming to the training. Thank you for your cooperation.
If you cannot arrive at the training on time on Thursday, 10 March, or you would have to leave early on 24 March, it is best to wait for another time to participate in this training, as it must be embodied in its entirety.
In order to have time to rest and be ready to attend the 10 March Training Introduction, you may need to arrive in Chile a few days in advance. Accommodations can be found nearby.
Please refrain from wearing perfume or aftershave in the training room and dining room. Please use unscented laundry detergent and refrain from using scented ‘dryer sheets’ in your laundry.
The Arica Institute and licensed Sponsors admit students of any race, gender, colour, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available through the Arica Institute or Arica® trainings.
Your payment will be refunded if you cancel by Friday, 19 February, less a $100 administration fee. If the Chulao Viejo Sponsor asks you to leave the training, you will receive a partial refund. Exceptions to this policy are at the discretion of Chulao Viejo.

There is no public daily transportation in the Comau Peninsula. The Chulao Viejo sector is one of the most isolated apart within the Peninsula.

What to Bring
Beach Towel/ Yoga Mat
You will need to bring a beach towel to the training for floor exercises. Please remember to pack one.
Clothing
The range of the temperature in January in Chulao Viejo is between 10 and 25 degrees Celsius (50–75 F), but it can feel very cold. Remember that the sun is also very strong in Patagonia; a sun hat, sunglasses, and clothing that can be worn in layers are recommended. Weather is prone to change suddenly and although January is during the dry summer season, rain gear is still essential. Bring rain boots, crocs, or tennis shoes. Also bring swimwear to enjoy the beach, the river and the hot tub!
Musical instruments
You may bring musical instruments that do not require electrical amplification. Electrical amplification of the voice or electrical instruments is not permitted.
Personal Lantern / Flashlight
To enjoy Chulao at night, we recommend a personal lantern and spare batteries.
Hair Dryers Prohibited
The electric systems at the peninsula have low capacity, so the use of hair dryers and electric heaters is restricted.
Mosquito Repellent
Mosquitos may be present at night.
