Newsletter 6

Voice Dialogue Convergence – September 6-9 - Paris (Château de Méridon - Vallée de Chevreuse)

Dear Friends,
This is perhaps our last post before the official gathering at Convergence. The organizing committee met together in June - with all the seriousness and gravity that typically characterizes its members - to send you some final advice to help prepare for the Convergence… or even to register. There’s still time left to do so.
Our first important piece of advice is this: enjoy your summer and … do nothing at all! (or get a lovely tan if that’s what you enjoy doing and join us in September with your inner as well as your outer beauty).
The second essential thing to do is this: exercise your creativity and prepare an outfit for our Saturday night dinner – it will be the “Sub-Personalities Dinner”. Choose which of your energies (primary or disowned) you’d like to promote and decide which clothes, hats, makeup, etc ... you’ll want to bring with you to make them visible. It’s your turn to play!
Below is the general outline of the program. The workshops listed are those that have been scheduled in advance; the workshop propositions from participants called "Open Space Workshops" will be added each day.
