Lecturing at Saint Hill, 1966.

1966:
In February, Mr. Hubbard returns to the Canary Islands to continue his advanced research into the spiritual nature of man. On 18 March, he flies to Rhodesia where he works to help the small country overcome some of its problems.

In July, he returns to England and delivers the final lectures of the Saint Hill Special Briefing Course.

On 1 September 1966, L. Ron Hubbard resigns from all directorships and running of Scientology organizations.

He subsequently accepts his third Explorers Club flag for the Hubbard Geological Survey Expedition, which will find and examine ancient Mediterranean civilizations, amplifying man’s knowledge of his history.

In December, he purchases the sailing vessel, Enchanter (later renamed Diana).
