NEWSLETTER MAY 2009

Wild things in the wilderness  

Hallo!
 
Last edition we heard from Selina as the Leader of our first Wilderness Therapy weekend.  This time Alyson Brickley writes about her experience as a participant in her article "May the Metaphor be with you".  Judging by this photograph, it looks as if there was a good deal of fun as well as learning to be had.  If you would like to participate in the next visit to the wilderness, let the team know as there need to be sufficient participants to make it possible.
 
We also have some BeeLeaf announcements, and a new arrival.  Not too much reading - so you can get out and enjoy what sun comes our way!  
 
Current Intermediate participants - it would be interesting to have some other perspectives on the Fast Track and on the modelling project.  Alan Sparkes has shared his experience here, will you?  
 
Please send all contributions, suggestions and anything else of interest to me by the end of August for the next edition, via Editor@BeeLeaf.com.

New part-time member of staff here at BeeLeaf -
 
Carol West.
 
Carol is going to provide the much needed admin support in our busy growing organisation and is already a firm favourite with Dibley! Therefore please address all future written correspondence to:
 
BeeLeaf
FAO Carol West
34 Grove Rd
London

Please, in particular, do not send correspondence, such as essays, monitoring forms et cetera to Pam Gawler-Wright as this greatly delays their processing, sending them down the wrong route to a person who may not be available to attend to correspondence for up to a week. Especially, do not include additional notes and information for Pam in these submissions and instead use the dedicated e-mail address care@beeleaf.com as directed in your Handbooks and Manuals.

Bee leaf      BEELEAF PRACTICE GROUPS
 
 
 
As you know BeeLeaf has been sponsoring the running of a monthly Practice Group for it's members. Numbers and feedback have told us that an NLP-type Practice Group does not best serve members' needs as there are a range of great groups of this kind up and down the country that are closer to people's home and set up especially to meet these desires. Instead, we want to go back to the idea that BeeLeaf practice groups should specifically serve the needs of members and trainees building their path towards professional practice and registration. Therefore practice Groups will have a new format that has more relevance and is more akin to the identity of the community by focussing the time on Case Studies. The emphasis will be on cases brought by participants to support the Case Study element of the Diploma assignments and to supplement Clinical Supervision with modality specific peer and group Supervision.
 
Until July, Practice Groups will run according to the published plan and from September onwards we will be offering you a new plan with hours that can be added to your Continuing Professional Development Log - watch this space.
 
I'm sure we would all like to join in thanking trainee Tracy Jarvis for having organised the program of Practice Groups over the last months.
