Orgonon was the home, laboratory and research center of Wilhelm Reich, M.D., a pioneering psychiatrist, psychoanalyst and scientist. Open to the public as the Wilhelm Reich Museum, Orgonon now comprises 175 acres of fields and forests, the Orgone Energy Observatory, the Conference Building & Office, a bookstore, two rental cottages, and a system of woodland nature trails.
In the 1930s Reich discovered a physical, biological energy in all living matter that he called “orgone,” and for the next two decades devoted his life to the investigation of its laws and properties. Orgonon preserves and presents the natural and scientific environment in which Reich researched orgone energy functions in living matter and in the atmosphere.
Visitors to the Orgone Energy Observatory are introduced to Reich’s life and work with a half-hour documentary video, exhibits, Reich’s inventions and scientific apparatus, his library and study, and personal memorabilia including his paintings and sculpture. Annual Summer Conferences are held in the Conference Building on various aspects of Reich’s work and their significance for current social, medical and scientific issues. The bookstore sells the widest selection of Reich’s published work anywhere.

Core Energetics is a process for life and healing based on a powerful evolutionary therapeutic approach that seeks the integration of all aspects of our humanity-the emotional, physical, intellectual and spiritual. This process is built on the foundation of the work of Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, and Wilhelm Reich, as well as the foundations of human development and object relations theories. As part of this gestalt, the Core Energetic approach also incorporates the spiritual aspect of being reflected in the Pathwork transmissions of Eva Pierrakos.
Core Energetics is based on a deep understanding of the ways in which energy and consciousness work together in the transformative process of healing. The vision of the work is to invite a deeper experience and identification with one's core energy and feelings, releasing the individual to create his or her life from this personal yet universal center. This is achieved gradually by bringing consciousness, movement and, ultimately, transformation to the core's overlaying defensive structures. The result is the release of a vast amount of energy, creating vitality, greater life fulfillment, joy and pleasure.

Bioenergetics is a way of understanding personality in terms of the body and its energetic processes. It links physical pain, muscle tension, and postural disorders with state of mind, demonstrating that suppressed emotions, unhappiness, and anger can block energy-flow and cause physical distress.
Bioenergetic Analysis is a form of therapy that combines work with the body and the mind to help people resolve their emotional problems and realize more of their potential for pleasure and joy in living.
Bioenergetics, developed by Alexander Lowen, is based on the teachings of Wilhelm Reich, the father of modern Body Psychotherapies. It includes both manipulative procedures, counseling and special exercises, and is designed to help "normal" individuals and people with affective/psychological problems as well.
