<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanx for the quick response. There are lots of ways we can move forward. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have a dream : ). </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We get some of "our" best together in one place for a roundtable discussion. Film it. Then we follow those same folks "home" and film them in action. This becomes the axis around which we build our on-line conference. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The conference could include:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>- asynchronous viewing of "film." </DIV>
<DIV>- synchronized key-note speaker. (We all watch at the same time, live) Of course it will be available for viewing anytime a well. </DIV>
<DIV>- Listserve-type discussions using Skype or other c-me-c-you technology. </DIV>
<DIV>- Posting of songs, artwork etc. from other experiential therapies. </DIV>
<DIV>- Maybe have some other talkng points etc.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We then repeat the process. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>A cohort group gather for a roundtable discussion. It is filmed. A group is then filmed. A key note speaker is "found" and we have another conference. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What are some of your ideas??</DIV>

<DIV>Dear Group,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Their most recent project will air on "Rachel Ray in the Morning" this Thursday (May, 7th. 10am EST). </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>SoulSmack is interested in your feedback as to how we can launch an interactive forum for educating EVERYONE about psychodrama. </DIV>

<DIV>Hi all,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What if scholars, from all over, could present locally but broadcast globally? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thoughts?</DIV>

<DIV id=AOLMsgPart_3_c7c208bb-2d73-4868-a0c6-019a5c5befe2>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?
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>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</DIV>

<TD vAlign=top>Dear Ed and all, <BR> 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?)<BR> 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. <BR><BR> 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?<BR> 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. <BR> Warmly, Adam <BR><BR>--- On <B>Sun, 3/15/09, Edward Schreiber <I><<A rel=nofollow>edwschreiber@earthlink.net</A>></I></B> wrote:<BR>

<DIV id=yiv679364081>Dear Colleagues,
<DIV>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.</DIV>
