The Hazel Raven College of Bio-Dynamics (HRCB) is a full member of ACHO (Affiliation of Crystal Healing Organisations).

Today, ACHO has over twenty member schools who have agreed to follow the same core curriculum and general course structure. The ACHO is a member of the BCH (British Crystal Healers). The BCH is an umbrella body for schools teaching crystal therapy.
