Attention trainers who attended either SALTT or the Trainers' Trainings in January or April of 2008, this is an invitation for you to participate in a free Training Practicum.

The purpose of the Training Practicum is to demonstrate and hone your training skills and receive feedback, as well as share your experiences in the field. Peggy Rubin and Jean Houston will give teachings on "Presence, Power, and Skill," "Finding the Myth and Telling the Story," and "Further Explorations of the archetype of the Social Artist."

Trainers who attend will receive a complete package of support material for conducting a 2-day "Introduction to Social Artistry™" (DVD featuring Jean, Participant’s Manual, Facilitator’s Manual, and PowerPoint slides).

Trainers please contact Peggy Dean at peggy@jeanhoustonfoundation.org for any questions and to reserve your spot.

Would you like to help spread the practice and awareness of Social Artistry™ in your community or profession by serving as an organizational, regional, or city liaison?

Would you like to help shape the support that the Jean Houston Foundation could offer Social Artistry™ practitioners and Teaching Learning Communities?

Have you attended a Social Artistry™ event in the last ten years and would like a new opportunity to be involved in the work?

If any of these questions speak to you, please come to Ashland this July 29-August 1 for a gathering we are calling the "Congress of Social Artists."

• The event and meetings are free.
• The timing is designed to dovetail with the Second Social Artistry™ Summit to be held the same weekend, followed by the annual Social Artistry™ Leadership Institute Aug. 1-8.
• This is a "working" event. We will vision and strategize and create proposals.

If you are interested in attending and/or helping shape this event, contact Lisa Nelson after May 15th at lisa@jeanhoustonfoundation.org.

Please join your colleagues in Social Artistry™ this summer for the second SOCIAL ARTISTRY™ SUMMIT, a joyous convocation of committed world servers sharing their work with each other and building the field. People with ongoing Social Artistry™ applications, be they projects, training methods, or other accomplishments are invited to share their work. New Social Artists who would like to find out more about the field are also welcome.

After eight years, we have a critical mass of individuals who are making great strides in helping midwife the new world that can work for everyone. Please join in this delightfully serious business of presenting the work and all manner of variations and adaptations, ideas and dreams for the field of Social Artistry™. [See the tentative schedule below].
