By Rich Simon It seems astonishing that even just two or three decades ago, parents not only pretty much knew what was expected of them to turn their offspring into civilized adults, but they could actually count on society to back them up. Even more astounding, kids seemed to understand this, too. Even if they rebelled against, yelled about, or sullenly resented how “unfair” adults were, they seemed to acknowledge adult authority and realize that they would just have to wait until they turned 18 to get for themselves the keys to the kingdom of grown-up independence.

In his keynote speech, Dan proposed his definition of the mind, and the importance of integration of the mind. He later elaborated on and explained the scientific rationale behind these ideas in his workshop of the day, or as he called it, the keynote "after party."
I changed my workshop to get into Dan's, because I NEEDED to hear more about integration and the mind after his keynote.
I empathize with the Sunday workshop presenters; the attendance of whose workshops were likely stifled under the tsunami like wave of curiosity, wonder, and suspense following Dan's keynote.
Dans keynote and workshop were the perfect capstone on a symposium which 'integrated' old wisdom with new therapies, and encouraged integration of the mind and body, as Richard Gonzalez and Andrew Weil expressed, but also of our connection to each other and our planet, in harmony with the words of Mary Pipher.
Looking forward to the joys, wonders, and enlightenment which assuredly await us at the 2013 symposium!
So, of course Friday I figured, "Ok, that was creativity day. NOW its going to get dry and dense." Again, I was surprised.
Surprise has been the defining term for my experience at this conference. It's unlike any professional development I have ever experienced. Every workshop I have been to has been enlightening and humorous. Even in workshops where they talk about deep trauma, the speakers have used the utmost care while making us feel grounded and resourced and even found a way to encorporate laughter at the right times.
As we enter the final day of the Symposium, I can't help but feel a little sad that its coming to a close. It will surely take me a few months to process all the information I've learned, and much longer to integrate, but every day of the conference is full of laughter, insight, and and even awe.
...Only 361 days left to go until next year.
That aside, he is an inspiration and an inovator that we all owe gratitude (and realizing that gratitude can be healing for us as well
I definitely agree with his statement that "we aren't supposed to be happy all the time." I think its a truth that we all know, but were seduced into forgetting by big pharma and other industries.
Looking forward to Andrew Weil's keynote today.
