The
Arica School, also known as the
Arica Institute (which is its incorporated educational organization) or simply as
Arica, is a
human potential movement group founded in 1968 by
Bolivian-born philosopher
Oscar Ichazo (born 1931). The school is named after the city of
Arica,
Chile, where Ichazo once lived and where he led an intensive months-long training in 1970 and 1971 before settling in the
United States where the Arica Institute (incorporated in 1971) has since been headquartered.
