Heart and Soul 2010
The next Heart and Soul of Change conference is set: Heart and Soul 2010 will be in New Orleans, in the French Quarter, June 17-19, 2010. The conference will be held at the InterContinental Hotel
(http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/intercontinental/en/gb/locations/neworleans) and I am very happy to say that the room rate was negotiated to be a very reasonable $119 per night.
June 17 will be a pre-institute that covers the basics—I will do the morning, the client directed part while Scott will do the afternoon, the outcome informed part. That way, people should be starting off well grounded for the rest of the conference. You veteran CDOI’ers could skip the pre-institute, unless you are the kind of person who likes some repetition. I will be using new video but will be covering the common factors side of CDOI.
The rest of the conference boasts new material. The actual conference will run June 18-19, and as I said before will include the themes of “Recovery” and “Social Justice” with keynotes from speakers outside of CDOI, followed by a plenary of how these themes fit and complement CDOI. In the afternoons, the conference will include 3 separate tracks: Beginning/Intermediate (I will do the first day of this and Scott will do the second, so people just getting going can catch how to get started—we are offering it both days because with all the choices, it will allow folks to not miss a thing); Special Applications (this will include 3 breakout sessions covering a variety of special applications—these will be very pragmatic “how to” workshops, short on theory or repetition of CDOI concepts, except as they apply to the issue at hand, and long on practical considerations; and Implementation/Supervision/Administration, which will address agency implementation and training issues the first day and how to guide both supervision and overall management with the data on the second. Although we are in the early stages of planning, it is already shaping up to be an exciting three days. We are leaving ample time for lunch so that you may explore the amazing culinary experiences awaiting you in the French Quarter.
The Louisiana Counseling Association is our co-sponsor and they draw big numbers for their conferences. I did a keynote for them last year and was absolutely shocked to walk into a room with 800 people! That keynote led to this conference so there is already a lot of interest. This could bring a lot of new folks to CDOI so it is a great opportunity to spread the word. I hope you will consider coming. New Orleans is an incredible place to eat, drink, and be merry. Scott and I hope to see you there.
