of inner wisdom that lies within our dreams? In IASD we support dreaming as
an important part of our growth, healing and learning process and we wish to
illustrate that concept with stories from those who have experienced life
changing insight and guidance from their dreams first hand. IASD is
therefore planning on publishing a book of dream stories and lessons by
those who have experienced life altering changes that were initiated by a
dream – and we would love to hear your story. CALL FOR IASD PRESENTATIONS FOR CE PROGRAM

The IASD annual Pledge Drive began in November and ends January 31,
2015. The generosity of members and friends makes possible many things
we could not otherwise accomplish. We hope you will help IASD share the
dream. Think what could happen if every dreamer in the world emulated
IASD Board member, Curtiss Hoffman, and donated a dollar for every dream
this year! You too can take the Dollar a Dream Challenge! THE ERNEST HARTMANN AWARD FOR STUDENT RESEARCH
From Curtiss Hoffman
We are
pleased to announce that the anonymous donor who generously provided
funding for the Student Research Award last year has graciously agreed
to provide matching funds for the 2015 competition! The IASD board of
trustees will provide the balance of funds.
From Susan Benson, Regional Events Co-Chair As the year draws to an end, I would like to thank
all of our reps for their ongoing work and support of the regional
network, and to wish everyone a happy holiday season. I also want to
take the opportunity to announce some changes in the Regional Committee.
Claude and I have been serving on the Regional Committee for several
years now and we have decided to step back from the position of Regional
Chairs, but we will remain active on the regional committee. We are very
happy to also announce that Bobbie Ann Pimm, membership chair, will be
taking up the role of Regional Chair. REGIONAL EVENTS UPDATE Montreal Regional Conference From Claude Desloges, Nicole Gratton, Monique Séguin IASD 5th REGIONAL CONFERENCE IN ROME, NOVEMBER 7-8 2014 From Conference host: Nicola Zippel Toronto Regional Group From Mara Zadnoff Once again, Toronto region IASD members participated in the November Whole Life Expo weekend in downtown Toronto. The Expo typically welcomes over 18,000 people over the weekend, with hundreds of booths rented by shops and providers for healthy living, well-being and spirituality. This year, our new member, Derek Donnan, was chosen to present: Life Transformation Using the Power of Dreams. Congratulations Derek! At this event we hand out annual conference information, upcoming Toronto event details and IASD membership information. Our regional member volunteers engage the public and encourage their dreaming minds. We sometimes sell a book or two, but more importantly, we reach the community with the intention of growing the region and provide ways for interested people to join and participate within our regional and international membership. On another note, the IASD-Toronto Region formed a Planning Committee this year. The camaraderie, pooling of ideas and strengths, and division of tasks makes for an enjoyable team effort. This regional rep is certainly appreciative of the shared experience. We’ve got an event set up for January 18th, 2015 . . . in case you were thinking of checking out some snow in Toronto around that time!

Association for Psychoanalysis Greenwich Village. The host for this
