Oakland Marriott City Center HotelOakland, California

Conference Co-chairs John Olesen, Jackie Fowler and Nancy Kirsner extend awarm West Coast invitation to join us for the 2014 ASGPP Annual Conference,PSYCHODRAMA: MANY FACES - MANY PLACES, in Oakland, California.

2014 is the 125th anniversary of JL Moreno's birth, giving this year's conferenceadded meaning as we honor his rich legacy and celebrate the diversity of approach-es that have grown out of his ideas and applications – from Psychodrama,Sociometry, and Group Psychotherapy to Improvisation, Drama Therapy, PlaybackTheatre, Souldrama, and an ever-growing array of action-focused approaches.

The 2014's educational program will offer over 100 workshops, including pre-and post-conference institutes of interest to people with diverse interests and at alllevels of experience; from foundations of Psychodrama to full Psychodrama andSociodrama enactments, and applications in drama therapy, bodywork, addiction,spirituality, gender and LGBT concerns, conflict resolution, education, and much,much more. Please join us to expand your knowledge, engage with Psychodrama'smany faces, and discover the many places Psychodrama is being used throughoutthe world. CEUs and credit toward Psychodrama certification will be available.

We'll start off Friday with a sociometric selection process involving all attendeesfor the morning's workshops – a great warm-up for an engaging weekend!Throughout the weekend you'll enjoy perusing the dozens of silent action offerings,and the fun of bidding on everything from jewelry and artwork, to historical booksand journals, to training and supervision hours with internationally-known educatorsand practitioners. Our Saturday night dance is a BIG hit every year, and this yearwe're planning a real Pacific Rim bash!

Oakland is just minutes away from San Francisco by BART, the Bay Area RapidTransit system, with direct links to all area airports. We sincerely hope you can staya few extra days to enjoy the wonderful landscapes and sites of each city.

SO PLEASE SAVE APRIL 3rd - 7th for THE 72nd ASGPP ANNUALCONFERENCE, AND MAKE YOUR TRAVEL PLANS TO JOIN US ON THE BEAUTIFUL WEST COAST FOR PSYCHODRAMA'S MANY FACES AND MANYPLACES.

We welcome you with open arms! ~ John, Jackie and Nancy
