Greetings Colleagues. Here’s some news, some announcements and offers.

I’ll be switching this mail list off of yahoogroups to a private mailing list and database that will make it very easy to update or unsubscribe. Hopefully, you’ll start seeing more of these, with fresh news. Later this year, we’ll be adding a discussion bulletin board and more great features.

If you haven’t seen my new project— www.opednews.com  you might want to check it out if your politics lean left. If not, probably best to ignore it and attribute it to much alpha theta training.

Cordially,

Rob Kall

Conference News

StoryCon- the Summit Meeting on the Art, Science and Application of Story is happening Sept 25-29. It's a fascinating meeting that anyone who is working with healing or transformation will find very valuable. Steve Larsen, Richard Soutar and I presented a panel on this at AAPB and it went over great. The process of psychotherapy is first the process of eliciting the stories your client tells himself and then, helping him to re-write his stories. The process of biofeedback follows the path of the Hero's Journey that Joseph Campbell described. www.storycon.org   Reply to this email and receive a 20% discount on registration on the Storycon meeting-- any package.
