Book
of proceedings
There was a nice surprise in my snail-mail post-box
yesterday. I received the proceedings of the recent German Conductive Education
Congress that was held in March 2012.
I have written before about what an impression the
conference made on me and what an amazing job was done by the ‘family’ that was
doing the organizing.
Yesterday I received more evidence of their good work
in the form of an A4-size, glossy document that is about two centimetres thick.
The book is jam-packed full of information about the
speakers at the conference, including their individual presentations and materials
from their podium contributions.
It is well worth the twenty Euros that it cost me and
will certainly be part of my summer reading, along with Enid Blyton’s The Folk of the Faraway Tree!
And
a nostalgic read too
This Enid Blyton book was one of only two books that I
read alone as a child, the other being Shadow
the Sheepdog. I recently rediscovered the Folk of the Faraway Tree on my
book shelf here in Germany, all battered and worn, and decided that it needs
another airing. I read it only about twenty times as a child!
The memories, that are sure to be evoked while reading
the children’s book, will fit together very well with the ‘family’ produced
documentation about the ‘family’ produced conference in Rosenheim last March.
Congratulations to the whole team in the foothills of
the Alps.
