Dear Group,

I have developed a working relationship with sousmack productions  
(soulsmack.com) and they are very interested in helping us create a  web-based 
intructioal environemnt that will allow us to present and produce  psychodramatic 
events locally and broadcast them globally.  

Their most recent project will air on "Rachel Ray in the Morning" this  
Thursday (May, 7th. 10am EST). 

SoulSmack is interested in your feedback as to how we can launch an  
interactive forum for educating EVERYONE about psychodrama. 

What do you all  think?
Thanx, Eric Rutberg - Maine

I am a clinical counselor (18yrs), specializing in  experiential therapies.

Continue writing about your ideas on  grouptalk...it is both creative and 
appropriate in these  times.

Hi all,

This is my first time chiming in to the group on this listserve. I do  
follow the discussions with great interest and yet feel utterly detached as  I 
live and work in rural Maine. That said, I am fascinated with the topic of  
making continuing education more accessible. In a past incarnation, I was in  
radio broadcasting and video-production. I am currently pursuing a  
doctorate in health education with a focus on adult ed. I intend to marry  the two.

When I think about the future of adult ed, a vision of a multi-stage,  
cross-continental production comes up for me. Last year, Al Gore  coordinated 
such a multi-media event for Earth Day. Speeches, music,  short films all 
co-occurring and broadcasted via satellite. 

What if scholars, from all over, could present  locally but broadcast 
globally?  

Thoughts?
Eric Rutberg

I just got an  email from a long time member of our society telling me, in 
response to my  post, that she will not be attending the conference, that 
she had to cancel  her workshop, that the $1000. it would cost to get there, 
stay there, be  there was now unaffordable.  She is about to receive an award 
from our  organization, and cannot attend.  What more do we need to realize 
our  structure, location, format is keeping people from us?    

We are stuck - mired if you will - in a conference structure, place and  
timing that is not allowing us to grow.  And what's painful, for me, is  our 
method is one of the most needed.   I have not fantasy about why  "people 
don't change" as Adam suggests.  I am an activist, spiritual at  the core and I 
am putting out the challenge we form a small group to  redesign the 
conference to advance the conserve.  If we don't, we stay  where we are, in the 
decline.   Best,   Ed

Dear Ed and all, 
First, good  for you for passing alonng the IEATA conference information.  
(Interestingly, I've communicated to them my desire to get these  
announcements but they didn't send me one. What does that say about  publicity skills?)
I do support  building bridges with related organizations, and recently 
suggested  to one of their ex-officers that they tell folks about our  
conferences and also the IAGP conference.  

Second, you seem to be  implying that we model our conference on theirs, 
though there are a  variety of differences. Could you be more specific in your 
 suggestions?
Please don't assume that any  disagreement or hesitancy can only be 
interpreted as fear of change  or any of the other reasons you fantasize that 
people don't change.  Here's another reason: What (fairly specifically) would you 
suggest  as an alternative? What are the pros and cons of your suggestion?  
Every political move has disadvantages as well as advantages.  
Warmly, Adam

Dear Colleagues,  
How much are we willing to stay stuck in our conserve, a  conference 
structure that no longer meets the needs of the larger  community to hear, learn, 
grow with our method?  We keep the  same format, the same awards dinner for 
the same selected people  who can afford to attend, the same on-going 
structures that  frankly are becoming stale.  A recent letter by Zerka to the  
President and the Council has called for us to grow.  Yet  what I continue to 
hear is fear, resistance to take a leap.  So here's the challenge:  Read the 
enclosed and see  what we could offer to the world - with the will, 
creativity, and  drive to bring our method to the world in a way that grows us  
beyond the conserve our conference has become.

Here's an  example:best,Ed
