Greetings dear HSPs from a beautiful day here in Northern Colorado !
I'm writing to make sure you know the early registration deadline for
the 21st HSP Gathering Retreat to be held May 26-30, 2011 in North
Andover, Massachusetts is March 21st. You may download a Registration
Form from: http://www.lifeworkshelp.com/hspgathering.htm
Currently, we have HSPs attending from: Bronx, NY; Manhattan, NY;
Amesbury, MA; Concord, MA; Easthampton, MA; and Montreal, Quebec,
Canada. Of course, I will travel from Colorado. Dr. Elaine Aron will
join us on Sunday, May 29 via teleconference from California.
The presentation topics are:
"Your HSP Trait: Facts, Myths & Mysteries"
with Jacquelyn Strickland, LPC and my co-host, Ane Axford, LMFT
"Complexes: Ours & Others ~ Using Your Sensitivity to Tame the Psyche's
Wild Beasts"
with Dr. Elaine Aron
"Beyond Thriving: Sensitive Leadership"
with Ane Axford, LMFT of http://www.sensitiveandthriving.com
"HSPs & Conflict: From Resistance to Understanding Our Positive Role in
Conflict Resolution"
with Jacquelyn Strickland, LPC
Of course, the presentation topics are only a small part of the overall
experience of a HSP Gathering Retreat! Some of my favorite times are the
half-day leisure time spent in nature; the campfire on Friday night;
making HSP Art Collages on Saturday night; and Sunday night when we
experience "Creativity Talent Show Night" showcasing the unique talents
of HSPs ranging from poetry, photography, dance, song, art work, written
word, and the list goes on ! And another favorite is the motto at all
HSP Gatherings which is "FOCUS ON NEEDS, NOT APPROVAL" which means you
participate at your own comfort level in all our activities.
I hope some of you will find a way to join us this year. There are two
other HSP Gathering Retreats planned for 2011. The 22nd HSP Gathering
Retreat will be in Wimborne, Dorset, UNITED KINGDOM, 21-25, July, 2011;
and the 23rd HSP Gathering Retreat will be in Santa Barbara, California,
September 1-5, 2001. I will post details of these soon.
I hope Spring is just around the corner for many of us. Today I am
delighted to see blue jays, flickers, sparrows, and robins outside my
window ! A good sign indeed.
Best HSP wishes to you all,
Jacquelyn Strickland
co-founder, along with Dr. Elaine Aron, of the HSP Gathering Retreats
(Since 2001)
P.S. Look for another issue of HSP Highlights & Insights soon.
