San Antonio Educational Center
In 1944, Dr. Thurman Fleet began teaching his philosophy of Concept-Therapy to members of various healing professions, primarily chiropractors. In 1949, he founded the Concept Therapy Institute, a non-profit educational organization in the state of Texas open to all students interested in the study of this philosophy. He purchased the Aum-Sat-Tat Ranch, located in the Texas Hill Country, as a unique destination for study, collaboration, and contemplation.
CTI plays host to instructors delivering Concept-Therapy seminars, area meetings, and conventions. Visitors and guests are welcome at “The Ranch,” and inquiries are accepted at the Concept Therapy Institute Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.
Founder
With only a meager formal education and against tremendous odds, Dr. Thurman Fleet was an ordinary man who aspired to the extraordinary. As an infantryman, he earned a battlefield commission from the U. S. Army in World War I and became one of the nation’s most highly decorated soldiers of that conflict. He emerged from the war an “old man” of 23, suffering physically and mentally from the effects of mustard gas and shrapnel in his skull, and haunting, horrific memories plagued the young hero. Army doctors offered him little relief and no hope.
With a family to provide for, he began a fascinating odyssey to rebuild his health and life, taking a holistic approach to wellness. His journey led him into the realms of psychology, philosophy, theology, health, and healing. Thurman Fleet regained his health and attended the Texas Chiropractic College, establishing a highly successful chiropractic clinic in San Antonio, Texas. Dr. Fleet devoted his life to searching for, organizing, and teaching the truth about the human condition in all its complexity. His legacy is Concept-Therapy.
