Boletín de Información 1 Information Bulletin 1
Los trabajos de la Comisión Organizadora del X Foro Internacional del Enfoque Centrado en la Persona que va a tener lugar en Mallorca (España) del 7 al 12 de Mayo de 2007 continúan a buen ritmo. Por ello deseamos informarles y recordarles lo siguiente:
1.- Ya tenemos un número importante de inscritos ( más de 50 personas) a falta de 8 meses del comienzo del Foro, de diversos países: España, Argentina, Brasil, Chile, Uruguay, Reino Unido, Estados Unidos, Bélgica y Japón. Les recordamos que a partir del 31 de octubre próximo finaliza el primer tramo de inscripción con los precios más baratos. A partir de entonces se encarecen los precios por lo que es deseable que aquellas personas que hayan decidido inscribirse lo hagan cuanto antes para poder disponer de los precios iniciales.
2.- Algunas personas, a pesar de haber realizado su inscripción mediante la página web, no han realizado la transferencia bancaria correspondiente. En este caso, y si no hacen su depósito antes del 31 de octubre no podremos considerar su inscripción y serán dadas de baja, excepto aquellas personas que, procedentes del Brasil y Argentina, han acordado con la comisión organizadora que realizarán su pago a su llegada a Mallorca. La comisión es flexible en esos casos pero, cada caso ha de ser comunicado a la comisión para tenerlo en cuenta.
3.- La comisión va a disponer de autocares gratuitos para el transporte del aeropuerto al lugar del evento y viceversa los días de inicio y final del evento. Cuando tengan sus horas de llegada rogamos nos lo indiquen para poder proceder a formar un horario de salida de los autocares. Las personas que deseen permanecer más tiempo en Mallorca, antes y después del foro pueden conectar con la agencia de viajes señalada en la web del foro si desean que se les reserve hoteles o se les organice algún viaje adicional.
4.- Las personas que deseen aportar una comunicación o un taller y tengan interés en que su trabajo se reparta en el foro deberían remitirlo a la Comisión antes de Enero de 2007 en las condiciones señaladas en la web para proceder a su edición.
5.- Pueden obtener toda la información en la web: www.pcaforum2007.org
6.- Les reiteramos nuestra disposición para cualquier eventualidad y nuestra disposición a resolver cualquier duda o sugerencia.
Un abrazo
La Comisión Organizadora
The works made by the Organizing Committee of the X Person-Centered approach International Forum, that will take place in Mallorca from the 7th to the 12th of May 2007, are going on properly. We want to inform and remind you of the following points:
1. We already have an important number of participants (about 50 people) from different countries: Spain, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, United Kingdom, United States of America, Belgium and Japan. We remind you that the 31st of October finishes the first period of registration, with the lowest prices. From November, these will become more expensive. We recommend that you register as soon as possible, in order to have the cheapest prices at your disposal.
2. Several people, in spite of having made their registration by the web site, haven’t done the corresponding bank transfer. In this case, if they don’t make their deposit, we won’t be able to consider it as a registration and they will be unsubscribed, excepting the people from Brazil and Argentina that have arranged payment with the Organizing Committee. The Organizing Committee can be flexible in these cases, but the information needs to be communicated to us as soon as possible.
3. There will be free bus service from the airport to the Forum center and vice versa, the first and the last day, so we need to know your arrival and departure time as soon as possible. You should send us these details as soon as you know them; this is very important. The participants that are going to stay longer in Mallorca can contact the travel agency listed on our web site to reserve an hotel or organize additional travel for you.
4. Anyone that wants to contribute with any communication or workshop to be published and/or handed out to the audience should send it to the Organizing committee before January 2007. You will find the conditions to proceed on our web site.5. You can find all the information on our web site: www.pcaforum2007.org.
6. We are at you disposal for any doubts, questions or suggestions.
Best wishesThe Organizing committee.

Poconos Person-Centered Weekend Retreat
[Photo of Lewis Gover during the Poconos weekend retreat]
When:
Friday September 29th, 2006 (afternoon departure time to be announced)
To Sunday October 1st, 2006 (we plan to arrive back in NYC in the later evening)
What:
As a follow-up to our May Person-Centered group process meeting at the House of the Redeemer in New York City, this weekend retreat will be an attempt to build upon that experience. Taking place at the summer condo of Roslyn Scott, it is my hope that this weekend will become a therapeutic-retreat weekend where we will not have a pre-established agenda and the group itself will work together to create a natural mixture of group-process meeting time as well as personal time. It is also my hope that we will share all meals including cooking together and possibly going to eat together. In addition to Roslyn’s condo we have rented a second condo close by. Swimming, tennis, and other outdoor activities are available at the retreat center. The plan is for the women to sleep in Roslyn’s condo and the men to sleep in the second condo. Each condo can sleep about 6 people with a maximum occupancy of 8 people in each. I am hoping we will limit the attendance of this weekend meeting to 12 people.
Cost:
The total cost of the second condo is $441.45, and it is my hope that everyone (except for Roslyn) will pay an equal share of the cost. In addition it is my hope that everyone will contribute to paying for food which we can purchase upon arrival.
Transportation:
I am hoping we will plan a caravan of cars leaving from NYC on Friday afternoon (time to be determined later) and returning on Sunday night (after the traffic has died down). Chuck, Roslyn, and possibly Lewis can drive, and if need be I will rent a car and drive us.
Where:
Shawnee Resorts Village, Shawnee-on Delaware, Pennsylvania.
888-845-5248
Please let me know what you all think.
Best,
Sarton

A 3-Day Gathering In Relationships
[Photo of the Los Angeles Relationships group]
We invite you to spend a weekend with us, January 19th to the 22nd, 2006, at a home in lovely Santa Monica Canyon, California, where we will explore important relationships in our lives.
The format of this gathering is Person-Centered, a concept developed and researched by Carl Rogers and applied to groups of many sorts, often with startling results. Participants typically leave these meetings feeling deeply understood, heard, accepted and cared about by others.
Beginning Thursday, January 19th at 6:00 p.m. and ending Sunday, January 22nd at 12 noon.
Located at a beautiful and spacious private home in Santa Monica Canyon, Santa Monica, California.This gathering is free but we will share in the cost of food when we meet.
Donations are accepted to help pay the travel costs of those who may need assistance.
Space is limited so please contact us as soon as possible .

Dates & Times ‘When’: Beginning Thursday, October 6th at 7:00 p.m., and ending at noon on Monday, which is a holiday.
Sleeping Arrangements: Ideally, everyone will stay at Chuck’s home and we believe we can fit 10 people comfortably. Please contact us for more details.
