(Zentrum für Geistige Heilweisen)

The Centre was founded in 1982 by Dr. Hans and Waltraud Gerber. Our first spiritual contacts came through Harry Edwards, the first direct contacts were made through the German healer Anni Ziemer in 1979. Today the Centre is run by Hans and Waltraud in Vienna, by Ingrid Maria and Franz Moser in the province of Styria, and by Renate Gaggl in Carinthia. The development of the Centre has been a collaborative effort of many individuals, including Gilbert Anderson, Valery Fraser, Ursula Roberts, Frank Jones, William Lambert, Dennis Fare, etc. – and, above all, inner guidance. Currently ZGH has 250 members, it is a member of DGH (the German umbrella organisation for spiritual healing) and a member of ECHO (European Confederation of Healer Organisations)

ZGH is a non-profit organisation. Its prime objective consists in providing a platform and atmosphere that leads to healing and inner development. To achieve this aim, rooms are made available and working groups are held regularly. For teaching the theory of healing, the Centre organises seminars in which recognised healers from all cultures talk about and teach their healing methods and the philosophy behind them. Another objective is to do research into the spiritual aspects of healing and to publish specialist booklets on research findings and on related fields. The Centre also offers a two-year training in spiritual healing and upon successful completion gifted people are awarded a certificate. In recent times Douglas Ballard and Dr. Hans Gerber have come together in a voice between two organisations to make this new Association venture possible. Douglas has been invited on occasions to do seminars in both Vienna and in Carinthia.
