Midwest Chapter revival

Wed Mar 7 12:44:27 CST 2007

Thanks, Adam, for your input.

Another great tool that we have is the Yahoo discussion list, just for
the Midwest chapter, which I announced  earlier. It is free -- and also
offers opportunities for subscribers to add links, files, etc. Links
might include helpful psychoramatic and creative arts therapies links,
and all kinds info can be added in the file category, such as papers,
articles, evaluation sheets, etc.

I highly commend Mary's ideas, especially those of making a few phone
calls. She seems to be ready to put in a significant effort, which is
heartening, but if most of the trainers, CPs, or anyone devoted to the
method would reach out and contact one or two others who seem to have
dropped away, wow!

       A little detective work is in order: I could send you other names
of folks who have attended workshops. Maybe if you "google" them you'd
be surprised how many you might find!!

      It might even be okay to go back 25 years.

    Check out some of the folks who were CPs back then and who have
dropped out. I sometimes make phone calls like this, but can't cover it
all.

       Other ideas: Create websites and post papers, even if they're not
polished and perfect.
           Someone else could also do a photo directory, or send me
photos and captions. 
Face recognition adds.
       Make links on your website. The more presence we have on the web,
the easier to find us. Cross link.
            Do a blog of your training experience, and put in good
learning.
     Many of you have notes to trainings by others. Cite the trainer,
give that person 
credit. Invite the trainer to correct the notes, but don't wait for
their reply.   Post 
the notes. The field needs lots of information.

        (Yesterday I attended a workshop on social media, YouTube,
MySpace, textmessageing, Podcasting, Blogging, Second World multi-media
and virtual worlds, and other ways folks are "connecting." This isn't
just print-content distribution, but part of its function is
self-expression, feeling heard, being recognized, making touchy-feely
back-and-forth-ings. I imagine Moreno would be jumping up and down,
because it is like sociometry double-energized.)

             Warmly, Adam
