ASGPP St. Louis Conference Reflections

[jen kristel]

Hello All;

I too enjoyed the conference quite a bit. Part of my joy was seeing my colleague and dear friend Saba, who is here for a year from Bangladesh, warmly embraced by so many people and invited to others trainings. She clearly was touched by this.
      There did seem to be a different tenure at the conference this year, which I described to someone, as being less competitive, allowing the compassion that is always at the conferences to shine even more strongly. All the workshops I attended were great, and it was good to reconnect with people.
Adam, Jakob Berr, Saba's husband and professional photographer took many pictures and will be sending them to ASGPP. I asked him to send  to you as well.

Cheers
Jen

> There is a plan in place to look at the possibility of a Psychodrama

> suggested for the ASGPP for every other year.
> 
> The Council members were so present and available throughout the  
> weekend.  Students, about 17 new, came from the Student Rush which  
> allowed students to come the conference for free.   Although there  
> were 180 people, it was an intimate gathering with much learning.   
> The spirit was strong and good.
