Hi Gorgeous Peeps! Don't forget to sign up for the December 14-15th AIN event - it will be AWESOME! For more details, click here.
London calling for applied impro events
Just a thought: If every one here posted just one activity or exercise they had created themselves, and shared it, we'd have over a thousand activities! What a rich and original resource that would be!

Well, I did THREE connections, and it went well, in a class of about 80 students of positive psychology. They really did connect, and were in a good state thereafter to appreciate a British sense of humour. Apparently.
I hope to use 'find 3 connections' with a positive psychology class in Portland State Univ later today. Thanks.

What's our part in developing the field of Applied Improvisation?
Hello from the president. I notice that more than a thousand of us have signed up to be part of the AIN. I’m guessing that means we all have an interest in developing the field of applied improvisation – perhaps to generate more work for ourselves, or to learn more about how improvisation can impact the world of organisations and communities.
The most immediate way we can do this is by strengthening our network: asking and answering questions, sharing our tips and experiences, connecting to fin… Continue

- I contacted Belina and we will see what she says. Certainly, I am aware of your book so I'd like to get it to the conference as well. I won't be able to attend the conference as I am handling book sales for the much larger Evolution of Psychotherapy Conference being held in Anaheim in December. If you are curious about that one - go to www.evolutionofpsychotherapy.com. They expect 7,000 people!
