NEWSLETTER

In her speech at the opening night Tulin Etyemez Schimberg had started with a poem by Mevlana Celaleddin-i Rumi and here, we would like to recite it again:

Caravan of Endless Joy

Come, come, whoever you are. Wanderer, worshipper, lover of leaving — it doesn't matter,

Ours is not a caravan of despair. Come, even if you have broken your vow a hundred times,

Come, come again, come!

So, all of you are welcome… again! This is a complimentary newsletter for all attendees of the WCRT4 and EARTh members; a reminiscence of its own kind: it follows the activities of the congress week, mostly in pictures, with all kinds of expected and unexpected moments they brought along. In other words, if you have some qualms about your possibly questionable moves at the some nights, you are kindly warned. This newsletter contains graphic material.

In the “President’s Letter” dated September 2011 (which you may read in the EARTh web site), Hans TenDam says “What nourishment we provide one another at the congress? Of course, knowledge and experience and wisdom and all that. But something more primitive as well: company… Therapy is a lonely business; regression therapy is a very lonely business. Conventions and congresses are places where we meet each other at a common watering hole…. During the congress there will be no others. We will be among ourselves.” He is right.

We hope that this complimentary newsletter will help you to relive the experience of being among ourselves. Again, if you have recurring nightmares about an impossibly purple Gucci bag, you may not want to continue.

The Program Committee of WCRT4 would like to thank all of you for making this congress a wonderful event where there were no others.

Pre-Congress Workshops, October 17-18 2011

Hans TenDam Netherlands “Transpersonal Integrations”

Trisha Caetano USA

“Integrating Psychosynthesis, Gestalt and Client-Centered Therapy in Regression Work”

I could not make up my mind about this one:

“Should I attend to Hans’ or Trisha’s?” Finally, I decided to see Trisha in action and her way of tracing her steps through a demo session was so informative that I congratulated... myself (of course!) for this good decision. I thought that I could catch Hans’ second workshop, anyway. However, due to a “hangover” (of the flu +raki kind), I missed Hans’ second workshop and I started to doubt my decision making capacity.

Luckily, on my last day in Kusadasi, a Turkish friend asked me to translate her private session with Hans and... as you can imagine, it was like a private workshop for me.

Like in the refrain, “somewhere in my youth or my childhood (of some past lives, perhaps) I must have done something good”; because I have no other explanation for such a good fortune and privilege of meeting, working and studying with such a wonderful gathering of like-minded people. You are truly amazing!

Thank you!

EARTh School Leaders Meeting, October 19 2011

This meeting was so secretive that we couldn’t obtain any comments from the attending people.

Some house maids were gossiping that in some rooms they saw some strangely embroidered, long and black capes. Following this lead, Serdar Çilekar (our dear hard working photographer) took this picture by putting his life at risk but we have no idea whatsoever what happened after that moment.

The question remains: “Who’s the one in the middle with the paper bag over his head?” We want anwers.

Walking.. up and down the big stairs, walking through corridors, up and down to the beach, the swimming pool, up and down between the workshop rooms.

Food.. for thought, conversations with all nationalities, even Dutch!, food for my heart, sense of belonging, connection, and lots of food for the stomach, many metres of salads, turkish dishes, international dishes, fruit, fish, meats, 5 metres of desserts, all colors of cakes, puddings, baklava's.

Feeling warm, connected, satisfied, and even got some sun in the process.

Organization was very very good, even perfect! Presentations and presenters were selected wisely. Each workshop I attended I gained lots of knowledge and practical information that I can utilize and apply.

But of course, the most beautiful was Kusadasi.

Thanks to everyone who worked for it. -Aydın Sözübir

EARTh Movie

At the opening night, when Tulin announced that we would watch a short review of the EARTh DVD “Why Regression Therapy?” we all felt proud and excited.

This documentary is written and directed by Ulf Parczyk from Germany, its soundtrack written by Resat Guner from Turkey and the narration done by Dave Graham from United Kingdom and produced by Nassos Komianos from Greece as the chairperson of the PR Committee. They are all distinguished colleagues of ours and they gave all their love for this work.

In this documentary, you will see interviews of the pioneers of Regression Therapy, who share their basic insights with us.

And also, the first version of EARTh’s first DVD, is finally available for sale online.

Please visit EARTh Web Site E-Shop: http://www.earth-association.org/eshop/dvds/

Just another advantage of becoming an EARTh member.

We wanted to thank our hard working colleagues for their contribution in the EARTh DVD by giving them some gifts in a proper award ceremony. Karen is asked to be the presenter of our kind of “Oscars”. And something not quite unexpected but we all have been suspecting all along had happened:

A Star is Born!

Karen proved herself as a first rate stand up comedienne. She simply made everybody in the audience laugh out loud.

We will always remember her brilliant peformance.

And... yes, her Gucci bag, too.

Barbara Pomar USA “How to succeed in Past Life Business, This Life.”

Jordan van der Zeijden Campos Brazil “Healing Panic by Regressive Therapy”

Dear colleagues and new friends,

I want to thank deeply to know every soul in this beautiful present Congress. I'm pretty happy to be able to take a bit of a beautiful work that happens in Brazil for the world to see. You are beautiful. Every expression, every word, every gesture, every dance ... All full of the deepest belief in the mission and we are doing something for humanity. I am honored to be part of this team. I have much to show and the next step is to join the Earth and be closer and closer to you, to learn and be able to show as well.

Unfortunately I could not look at the iris of all who asked me, my camera broke on the penultimate day. But this is to see ourselves again and again. I'm adapting a technical resource for regression therapy location of the trauma in the age group and uterus through the iris and soon I will be glad to teach you this. Those who attended my workshop was examined or know what I mean.

Love to all.

Monique Houben and Karen Stemkens Netherlands “Integrating Body, Mind and Soul through Soul Regression”

It was sometimes hard to choose which workshop to attend, there were so many interesting subjects. It’s very interesting and nice to see how different people work and combine regression therapy with other methods. Some of the methods I wouldn’t use myself, other methods I may add to my approach.

But perhaps what’s even more inspiring than the workshops themselves is to be together with so many people from so many countries that work in this field. It’s so nice to talk to people that share the same interest and are – generally - likeminded.

It was amazing to notice how easy you connect with people in such a setting. Some people I had never met before felt almost like family (perhaps they once were...) immediately. With others whom I’d already known before, I got much closer during the days at the congress.

So, thanks to Tulin and everyone else for organizing! And thanks to all the other attendees for being there. It was wonderful!

Athanasios Komianos Greece “Hypnoscopesis: Integrating Ancient Therapeutic Techniques into Post-Modern Therapy”

I want to share with you why I chose to present Asklepeian Therapy on my workshop.

Last October Roger Woolger was visiting with me at Corfu. During that week we discussed a lot about traditional healing practices, especially those that had to do with incubation techniques chiefly practiced in the greater area of ancient Greece. The dream healing chambers that still exist are well preserved on the ancient sites of Asia Minor, nowadays western Turkey. No one could ever attempt to present such a workshop without first visiting these sacred places. During the last years I had already visited the remnants of such temples in Southern Italy and Sicily, I had seen most of similar sanctuaries in Greece, but I had not visited them in Turkey. Were I to make such a presentation in Turkey, I had first to visit and tune in with the specific spots. I had to resonate with the particular energies, walk on the same land that my ancestors walked on and feel the places. It was a decision I and Andromache made. Then Roger told me that he had planned for a similar trip to sacred places of Ancient Greece. It would take place at the same time. His students would come all the way from Brazil and after the tour of Greece they would end up in Turkey for the congress. That was a great way for them to have a far better picture during the seminar. My attempt with Andromache was to reenact and display in a short span what took place in a long period.

Unfortunately for all, Roger’s tour was cancelled. So in a sense it was partially realized but I think with great success. Thanks to Asklepios for being there.

Do not forget in such events people have difficult choices. They enjoy greatly one workshop, only to find after a while that the other ones were just as great. But that is how things are.

- Athanasios Komianos

Pavel Gyngazov

Everything was fantastic....

The most impressed I was with Nassos.

He did three sessions at one time and

afterwards, he said "Ohhhh! I never do this again!", looking

very scared. But I thought he gave

a wonderful presentation. Really

marvelous.

Maria Angelina Pereira, she is GREAT in her work! Some people disappeared from the workshop room and she explained this as “not willing to see what grief there is still IN you” and I think she really has a point.

-Laura Daggers de-Koning

Congresses are not only places to see how other colleagues work and become better therapists ourselves. It is a place where ideas should be exchanged and updates taken. Dr. Semkiw did an excellent work in summarizing and popularizing Dr Stevenson’s work. This is something missing in our field. We have all to realize that what we are dealing with is not necessarily fantasy material as our criticizers claim. Sometimes it is true memory recollection. The facts and objective evidence presented by Walter was more than compelling to say the least. Too bad that so few people are interested in such information. My opinion is that we certainly need more of this in our annual events.

Soul Searching Trip

I wanted to say a big thank you and hello to everyone from the congress in Turkey. Although I did not meet everyone, it was wonderful spending time with some of you. I have finally arrived back in the UK this weekend and have had time to create this drawing .

For those of you who stayed to go on the sight seeing trip on Sunday, we went to a Artemis temple and had a short, but very powerful ceremony.

I hope you enjoy the picture as when we called the earth energy this is what I saw rise out of the ground, a snake like energy then entwined with the energy we called in from above. These then radiated light and threads of light then spiraled around each of us in the circle, connecting us all to the huge universal light.

All the best to everyone and hope to meet you again.

Goodbye to Roger J. Woolger

Just to let you know that Roger Woolger passed away last friday after a serious yet quite brief illness. I believe it was a peaceful transition with his family around him.

Roger has had a huge influence on the development of Regression Therapy around the globe and will be missed by many.

I met him last summer, attended his workshop and interviewed him about his work in Regression Therapy for the 'Why Regression Therapy?' dvd.

Although I did not know him well, it was clear he had a passion for life and a passion for helping others through regression. As a pioneer of Regression Therapy, Roger often had to stand alone in this.

-Dave Graham

At the time of WCRT4, Roger was ill and hospitalized so he couldn’t attend the Congress. We missed him, his way of presenting his workshops, his jokes and his poems. Unfortunately, news from him grew grim with each passing day and finally, on November 18, 2011 his family announced that he passed away.

Knowing that Roger is the best equipped man for the Hereafter, we do not grieve for him ...but for ourselves because, it is sure that this side of the existence is tad a little bit dull without Roger.

This page is dedicated to some last messages about Roger.

May he be completely awake in death and ride the Bardo states!

Two months ago, while in hospital in London, our father, Roger was diagnosed with metastatic melanoma.

One month ago we brought him back to Upstate New York, where he felt most at home, to take care of him. Yesterday he passed away with all of us, his children, gathered around him. His passage was peaceful & without any pain.

Thank you all for your love, support & prayers. We will be in touch & in his own way, so will he be, from the spirit realm.

Love to all,

-The Woolger Clan

Yesterday I was at dear Roger Woolger’s (friend/colleague/mentor/brother's) memorial with about 50 of his family, friends and community which was only a tiny representation of his global tribe. We cried, laughed, shared stories and our heartfelt connection. It was over too soon...just like his time here on earth. But he was and has been so present and is really enjoying his new found freedom in the spirit world...now he can be everywhere at once...instead of taking planes all over the world.

After 10 years of working together, five of them sharing a house and office in NY, I didn’t know what memories to share that would capture who he truly was. I read some letters from his international community containing descriptions such as Troubadour, Alchemist, Shaman, Renaissance Man, but even these fall short of shining a light on his natural brilliance.

I shared two memories of the time I spent with him in London while he was in Hospice. The first was when we were ‘busting him out’ every weekend to take excursions and the head of the hospice whispered to me “It’s ok, we don’t mind if he treats this place like a hotel.” Such was his adventurous spirit…right to the end, and the staff was touched by that, as they also said “He obviously is a man who lives his life to the fullest”. Because he did, he gave so many others ‘permission’ to push their own boundaries and discover who they truly were.

The other memory was of me reading to him the 20+ pages of well wishes and thoughts that were coming in from around the world, and he burst into tears, he was genuinely stunned by all the love and appreciation and didn’t feel worthy of such admiration….and I told him that is exactly why you ARE worthy of it. His authentic humility and generous heart, is truly why people loved him so much!!!

There is so much more left to say…but of all the words I've said to you...and about you...Goodbye is the one I can't speak

Dear WCRT4 attendee,

Thank you for attending and supporting with your presence WCRT4 in Turkey. We hope that the congress was meaningful to you and that it will help your practice.

Apparently, it was premature to have the Fifth World Congress in Canada in 2014, so we decided to have it in a country with a larger base of regression therapists. The choice fell on Portugal. For next World Congresses (2017 and 2020), both Canada and India are shortlisted already. Bob Holmes is exploring the possibility of founding a Canadian association of regression therapists.

We are happy to inform you that the next Congress will be in Porto, the second city in Portugal. The new Congress Committee has constituted itself, picked dates and a theme.

Of course, EARTh is sponsoring the congress. Other sponsors are being sought. The Congress Committee is in contact with local organizations and possibly we will have the support of a local university.

Progress on the program and the organization will be announced on the congress website:
