In a basic sense psychosynthesis (little "p") is simply a name for the process of human development: the natural tendency to harmonize or synthesize the various aspects of ourselves at ever higher levels of organization. We are like the rest of the world and all living things in that we have within us a drive to grow or evolve, to become fully realized. Also, Psychosynthesis (big "P") is a name for our conscious cooperation with this natural process of development. As such, Psychosynthesis offers:

• A conceptual understanding of the nature of human advancement.
• Practical techniques to help us cooperate effectively with this process.
• An inclusive and ever-growing framework for the unfolding of individuals, groups, and the planet.
