Curtis Steele and Nancy Porter-Steele
With CFQ Healing Qigong, psychotherapy is extended beyond the verbal into nonverbal realms that include movements and meditation. In this introduction, participants will directly experience the effects of practicing CFQ movements for their own benefit and will also participate in healing done on behalf of others. Participants will learn the basic principles of CFQ Healing Qigong as established by Master Yap Soon-Yeong of Malaysia. They will learn several of the movements of the "Hexagram Dance" and will participate in a healing circle. If time permits, there will be an opportunity to experience and/or observe an individual healing session. Steele and Porter-Steele will also offer recommendations for going further in this area. Curtis Steele is a psychiatrist and Nancy Porter-Steele is a psychotherapist. They have practiced transactional analysis since 1971 and are certified by Master Yap Soon Yeong to teach both level I and level II CFQ Healing Qigong. They find CFQ of great benefit to patients and want to help make it widely available. They live and work in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.
Charlotte Sills, MA, MSc (Psychotherapy), Dip. Systemic Integrative Psychotherapy
This workshop will start with a relational perspective to understanding groups, teams, organizations, and communities, seeing them not as entities but as processes of communicative interaction. Drawing on focal conflict theory, transactional analysis, and theories of group dynamics, Sills will explore the tension between the individual in the group and the group-as-a-whole. She will offer models to help to identify how and why group members may get "stuck" in certain fixed roles in groups or teams and how group leaders can intervene productively. The workshop will include some didactic input as well as exercises and experiments to explore the material from the inside out, and Sills will invite participants to use the group itself to investigate the question "What can I learn about myself and groups by being in this group?" Charlotte Sills, MA, MSc (Psychotherapy), Dip. Systemic Integrative Psychotherapy, UKCP-registered psychotherapist, is a visiting professor at Middlesex University. She is also a psychotherapist in private practice and a supervisor, trainer, and consultant in a variety of settings. Charlotte has a particular interest in groupwork and the power of groups.

In this Institute, participants will be introduced
to the concept of the coach's professional
framework and the facets of that framework from an
ontological perspective.
Throughout this day, participants will experience a rich blend of theoretical input, analytical exploration and practical application. They will have the opportunity to start the process of building their own professional framework for coaching. The programme for the day is highly interactive and there will be time for reflection, questions, and consolidation of learning.

This institute will be an opportunity to further explore the themes of our recent TAJ articles (TAJ 37:3) which relate TA to recent developments in the field of Positive Psychology. '(Psychology is about building what is right - not just about illness or health; it is about work, education, insight, love, growth and play' (Seligman, in Snyder & Lopez 2005) With the 'Healthy System' as a backdrop we will examine the implications of the ego state metaphor, models of education and transformational learning, looking at some emerging ideas in TA, re-visiting the political radicalism of our early history and encouraging optimism for taking TA into new places and times.

Wars and peace both begin in the mind. While the root causes of conflict, aggression, and violence have never been better understood by practitioners and social scientists; conflicts continue to rage throughout the world at all levels - interpersonal, organizational, and cultural. At the same time, peacemakers are bringing once bitter enemies together through dialogue to build bridges toward cooperation and peace. This workshop will focus on the ideas, methods, processes, stories, experiences, successes, and failures in resolving hot and cold conflicts at personal, organizational, cultural, and international levels. The session will include short presentations of key concepts along with practical exercises and role-plays. We will emphasize the outstanding value that transactional analysis brings to the table of dialogue and peacemaking.
