The first official Sutphen Seminars were conducted in Scottsdale, Arizona in 1976, in response to the
interest in Dick's book You Were Born Again To Be Together. The book went on to sell a million copies and remained in print for 22 years. But
prior to publication of the book, Dick conducted small seminars at his own Hypnosis Center in Scottsdale, Arizona, and in several Arizona colleges.

Since the early 80s,
Sutphen Seminars, retreats and workshops have been conducted in from five to 35 cities each year. In recent years, England and Australia have been added to
the schedule. The annual professional trainings are usually held in Southern California or Arizona. Since Dick introduced the world to the Sedona,
Arizona Psychic Vortexes in his 1978 book, Past Lives, Future Loves, Sedona has hosted two or more seminars each year. Lake Arrowhead, California is
often the location for small intimate retreats.

The
back-cover copy on the first edition read: "The book focuses around the work of one man -- past-life hypnotist and author Dick
Sutphen -- to draw the larger journalistic picture of the entire Aquarian Age -- New Spiritual Consciousness movement and all its
cultural implications. All the personalities are here -- the objective truth-seekers, the 'spiritual groupies,' the supportive
psychologists, the hypnotherapists, psychics, Indian spirits, and even the fundamentalist clergy who oppose it!"
Alan
went on to become an investigative journalist who has written books about Mexican-border issues and served as a correspondent
for Public Radio. Today, he regularly writes for both the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times.
