The Cummings Center is pleased to have acquired materials of Dr. John Pierrakos, including an original Orgone Energy Accumulator. A student under Wilhelm Reich, Pierrakos founded the Institute of Core Energetics in New York in 1973. Orgone Energy Accumulators were constructed by Reich as a way to attract and absorb orgone energy while sitting inside the structure. Its early uses included both physical healing and psychiatric therapy.
