Working with Couples – A Two Day Workshop in Christchurch
with Walter Logeman
Friday 12 – Saturday 13 April 2024
If you work with couples, or would like to, this workshop you. The aim is to build on the work you already do and to gain confidence and competence with couples. Whatever your training, you will learn to be present with the couple.
Homo Faber
One of my favourite posts in this blog is called Whole Earth Catalog – 50 Years. Read through to the end of it to find the gem, in my opinion, which is to understand the sad contortion of humanity’s destiny with the creation of the Whole Earth Catalog. That subtitle, Access to Tools, is so significant, more significant than Stuart Brand realised or that any of us realised at the time.
And this one!
Just found this again after 17 years
Charles Cameron
I met Charles when we both wrote abstracts for a conference we did not go to. (Here is mine) Some details from 1996!
“Theories and Metaphors of Cyberspace” was organized in Vienna in April 1996.

Not a conversational medium
Dave Winer, just said, in Scripting News: “don’t think of this as a conversational medium, and don’t count on everyone hearing you. Use it for thinking out loud, and be happy when people hear you, but don’t expect it.”
Is that blogging, or textcasting? Or the digital realm as a whole? I’ve had some good conversation in simple closed email groups.
But what I appreciate about Dave’s line is that blogging is thinking out loud, I’ve been doing that in my blog for more than 30 years. I’m taking his words as an affirmation that it is worth doing. Thinking out loud, alone.
I should turn off comments as they have done little – but I appreciate that people sub to this blog. Not quite alone.
Robin White – surprises!
I went to the Christchurch art gallery yesterday and saw the Robin White exhibition. What a delight! I had no idea of the diversity. Here are some photos.
Updates
I’ve just added a swag of new reflections about empathy to a post from 2011, Zerka Moreno on Doubling, Tele, inter-psyche, relationship — reflections on a quote by Zerka Moreno. I’m learning, decade by decade!! Click that link to have a look.
Also Updated and added a note to: Working with Couples – September 2023
Fiddled with The invisibility of the structure of human society
This is a post where I edit a quote by Moreno to remove the old sexist language and get to the bones, without loosing the Moreno touch, or one scrap of meaning – I will do more, I tagged this one Moreno-Hemmingway
