Dear Sussan, I wonder, did you find this map: http://map.wanderland.ch/?lang=en ?
Comment by Jesper H Christiansen on August 11, 2010 at 14:41
For you whos should be interested (and for Sussans hiking trip afterwards) you can have a look at the weather at Passug (text is in german).

Sussan: we'll pick you up then.

Hello. A presentation for all of you who don't know me yet:
I’m Sussan Öster from Köping, Sweden. I work in the field of Public health, Health Promotion. I’m about to learn SF from Eva and Björn at CLUES. This year I’m attending the “Brief Coaching pure” education.

My special interest is to switch to a solution focused way of beeing, to understand the SF-phases and the type of questions and small difference languagewise that is useful for clients individually. After grasping that I’d like to transform this into groups and organisations. I have two special interest:
-Develop new tools for leading processes with many people from one or many organisations who want to find common ground and solutions one a common issue. I have used e.g. “Framtidsverkstad” Future search, by Robert Jungk, Open Space and other tools. I see a potential in using SF more here.
-Educate/supervise leaders of groups about changing habits to get better health and quality of life

After the retreat I'll go for one weeks walk along E1hiking trail, probably from Bellinzona to Zurich. I really need to get a more detailed map and I will look for a tourist office in Chur and probably ask 1000 questions to our lokal guide! We haven't been able to find all the information we need through the internet yet (eg where to use our tent or not along E1). Looking forward to seeing you all, and to Sue and Gesa :hopfully I won't walk and talk too much in my sleep but I have to warn you a little in advance... so you can be prepared to put me in the corridor if neccessary.
Sussan

It's great to hear again and again from you, guys, my looking-forward is growing each time :D
I'm keen on collecting some films done without any SF intention but ?illustrating? ?showing? well SF positions and views on life.
I'm also making thoughts and planning actions on how to encourage us to swarm intelligently during the retreat: doing, what we want and need for charging our batteries, enriching our world through connections to these great SF friends gathered in Passugg, choosing activities and not doing other things... Todays discovery in this context: "What happens, happens for the best" (read in Dainius skype-profile)

Hi veryone,
Holiday will start within some days for Hennie and me. Great to travel around in France, maybe Italy and ending up in Swiss at the summer retreat: wonderfull!. I enjoyed the beautifull video (Thanks Jesper) and are longing to meet all of you as old friends. Being holidaytime I/we like to relax and learn from each other in a good balance, gaining energy for the new year.
We like to contribute with a kind of workshop I id at Bucarest. Not only to repeat, but for sure to improve this work by your feedback: "Moving your team in one day"
At the other side I am curious for the contributions of the other participants, like written already.
All together, let's have fun.
See you

Hi All :-). I am sooooooooo looking forward to the summer retreat. I love all the suggestions so far, and the gentle structure already planned. I am looking forward to hanging out with really cool, wonderful people and exploring whatever emerges in the spaces between us and around us. I have been occupied with other things and am feeling kind of disconnected from the SOL community, and from the way I want to be living life. It feels a bit like I've been travelling through an asteroid belt (challenging times) and I want to feel reinspired, and to fall deeply in love with my life again. This should not be difficult, as simply Being Here, while being there, will help enormously! I am looking forward to fun and frivolity, deep and rich conversations, wonderful co-created activities, exciting new learnings, and hopefully lots of time to get to know people better. I love the longer duration and smaller group which will help this.
Whatever I can contribute that is of value, I will be honoured to do so. Some gentle (or demanding) yoga, meditations, dancing till we drop, totally average singing, or whatever... together with lots of love. xx

Hi all, I am looking forward to spend time outside amongs friends, old and new ones. Maybe I can offer massage and share my reflections of SF "supervision". I will aslo bring some tapes with Steve, Inso and Yvonne. See you there : )
Comment by Annie Bordeleau on June 12, 2010 at 21:42
The more time spent outside, the better! I'd be into building something :) Something that pushes me to think differently, hm...
I'd also appreciate having time and space to reflect on where I want to spend energy this year. How to do more of what I enjoy in my work?
Also, experimenting with improvisation is new and intriguing, I'd love to find out more about it.
In the long term, I would also like to contribute to the SF research efforts. Exploring this would also be interesting.

Jumpstart into Solution Focus

You want to learn more about "Solution Focus"?

You prefer a "step by step" introduction instead to start with reading some
voluminous books?

You would appreciate to have a complete "helicopter view" on SF after the first step…
