conference psychodrama

[drkatetsi at mac.com]

I love that idea Ed and did u get my idea to have 2011 in cville to bring it to zerka and I think in that way to bring in a lot of international folks?  We could have one of the vertical tracks certainly be a day with her!

I would to be part of a track not only on trauma but on shamanism n trauma which is certainly more n more how my work has turned n will be even more so by 2011.

I am settled into my lovely 2 bedrm visiting scholar apartment at a university in southern china where I will be immersed in all things chinese for two months.  My job is to help them establish their student counselling center using TSM, but also to study chinese medicine n to meet with qi gong masters and other ancient masters here as well.  Will also do several workshops in taipei, shaghai and beijing but how much less stressful to do it from a home base of an apartment!  This is a 5 year contract so even though I plan to come fewer times to china in the coming years it seems my work will have a new depth.

But. I am truly looking forward to working more in USA n have summer workshops planned in Usa and have talked about scheduling something at boughtom place, at lake house w karen carbabucci, SF w mario and regina, and CO with some folks I met at the conf.  I will also be in ottawa this June.  So the conf sure had a coming home effect on me.

Thabks for being part of that!  Kate

Nice to read all the interesting and interest in our upcoming  
conferences.
I am on a "Conference Options Committee" to examine designs and  
redesigns for 2010 and 2011.
The consultants have suggested a significant redesign for 2011, a  
kind-of "Psychodrama University"
or in the language of IAGP, Academy.  One of the notions to consider  
is changing orientation.  Not
straight to gay or gay to straight; rather - from horizontal to  
vertical structures.  Right now our conferences
are horizontal.  Two psychologists from St. Louis came to the pre- 
conference Rosalie and I offered.  They
wanted more depth.  Vertical structuring would offer that.  Consider  
a Vertical structure, called Sociodrama.
Folks could sign up for a morning and afternoon study of sociodrama,  
for example, depthful learning.
Think of columns from top to bottom, kind of Institutes within the  
conference itself in which concentrations
could be had.  One for educators.  One to work with issues of  
Addiction.  One Institute for Trauma resolution.
An Institute on Spirituality and Healing.  An Institute on  
Sociometry.  An Institute on Basics of Psychodrama.
Changing orientation from horizontal conceptional planning &  
structuring to vertical conceptional planning and
structuring might offer new ways to offer our work.  One comment the  
consultants made that I found interesting
was that the experience was like an assortment of aspects without  
much "intellectual property" meaning without
much depth learning sustained within a longer experience (except of  
course in the pre-conferences).  Thinking
vertically - offering depth - might offer a broad range of new  
learning.  Ed
