Anything else of interest.

This phase of the project is especially exciting because we're exploring dreams! Specifically, the relationship between dreams and nature, dreams and place, dreams and landscape. We'll present a basic dream curriculum and then help you deepen the practice of observing and sitting with a place in nature by cultivating your relationship both with the outer landscape of nature and the inner landscape of dreams. If you have any questions about the project, feel free to email me. Go here to sign up: http://tinyurl.com/2dt6qar. Please feel free to share this email with others who might be interested. I look forward to seeing you!

	Spotlight on Japan By Misa Tsuruta, IASD Regional Representative Our Japanese group convened in August, exactly one year after Shuhei Enomoto and I met for the first time. We celebrated our one-year-old birthday, along with our friend Takanari Tajiri. By surfing the IASD website, I found another member in Japan,David Trokeloshvili, who is from Canada. We are hoping he can join us for the October meeting. Takanari presented on Jeremy Taylor's dreamwork method at a transpersonal psychology conference on September 10. He also distributed IASD flyers. In an Embodied Dreamwork Workshop in August, Shuhei distributed flyers, as well. He and his colleagues are planning to have a few more ED workshops in 2011, some of which will include Robbie Bosnak. I'm also going to post an invitation to join IASD on the International Mental Health Professionals Japan (IMHPJ) listserv, which consists of overseas-educated mental health professionals. I am also going to distribute information pertaining to ongoing and upcoming dream-related events. I sincerely hope that these efforts will bring more dreamers to IASD, as well as to our regional group! Membership Inquiries As a new officer and board member for the IASD, I am interested in learning more about what attracts people to our organization. Specifically, I would really appreciate it if you would contact me and let me know what means most to you about your IASD membership. Do the conferences, publications, or Member Pages prompt you to join or renew, or does something less tangible figure into your decision? If so, what is it? Hearing your answer to this question will make a big difference in my awareness and efforts to serve the membership in the future. So please let me what matters the most to you about IASD membership. Also, please feel free to contact me or Jeff Vovillia at any time with membership questions or concerns. We always welcome new volunteers. You are the future leaders of IASD and we want your energy, help and visions. Scott Sparrow, membership chair: kingfisher@lagunamadre.net Jeff Vovillia, membership assistant: jallenvov@yahoo.com Member Pages to be Updated We realize that the Member Pages include quite a few lapsed members, and so we are in the process of updating the Member Pages. If you have a Member Page, or you are planning to set one up, you might be interested to know that Member Pages rank highly on Google whenever someone searches for you by name. Your membership in the IASD is, therefore, one of the first things that people learn about you when they do an online search. Indeed, being a part of the IASD community may be a very effective way to bolster your personal and professional identity. With this in mind, please keep your Member Page updated––and most importantly renew your membership so your page will stay on the website! Regional Representatives Please check the IASD website for up-to-date names and contact information for the regional representative in your area. The Regional Representative webpage is divided into regions, making your search more user-friendly. If you do not have a regional rep for your area, consider becoming one! You could serve an important networking role for IASD. To become a regional rep, contact Scott Sparrow, membership chair: kingfisher@lagunamadre.net JOIN IASD'S FACEBOOK PAGE Be sure to join our Facebook page! We have 276 friends and growing!
