  • Lifespring (англ. «источник жизни») — частная коммерческая организация, основанная в 1974 году Джоном Хенли (John Hanley Sr.). Компания продвигала себя с помощью книг и сарафанного маркетинга. К 1989 году представители компании утверждали, что семинары компании посетили более 300 000 человек. Lifespring классифицировалась как Нью Эйдж-компания, занимающаяся тренингом человеческого потенциала. Компания была объектом журналистских расследований и критиковалась бывшими сотрудниками и участниками тренингов. После серии судебных тяжб в 1980-х годах, в которых истцы требовали установить ответственность Lifespring за психические расстройства истцов, компания возмещала ущерб в ходе урегулирований, а также в результате одного решения суда присяжных.
