We are one month away from ISITDBT 2012 in National Harbor, MD on November 15th.  Please continue to check back to this site for information about the conference and the hotel facilities as the days to the conference get closer. And check the poster presentation list (below) for additions as well.

ISITDBT registration has been strong this year with 200 registrants thus far and still one month to go. Many thanks for those who replied to my DEAR MAN. Making the hotel requests was much easier for me since I knew the basic numbers this far in advance of the date. Once again, my thanks.

Please note that this early registration has left us with a curiosity that we “early birds” can ponder. Most registrants have selected the Koerner / Swenson morning workshop.  The “acceptance” side of me notes that a more intimate Randy Wolbert / Cedar Koons workshop could be quite nice, if we leave things just exactly as they are.  The change side of our dialectic is that I am excited about their workshop and want people to be afforded the opportunity of sharing their wisdom.  As a middle path, I decided to ask Randy and Cedar for additional information regarding their workshop plan and I share it with your here, while absolutely honoring your choices as you wish to make them.

This new information may be of value to any new registrants (who are still quite welcome to continue to resister for the conference) and may also be of value to anyone who may wish to switch to a smaller-sized workshop.  If you are the latter, please send me an e-mail at isit@isitdbt.net and I will make the switch via Eventbrite.

Here are the words of Randy Wolbert and Cedar Koons telling a bit more about what they will be doing in their ISITDBT workshop, Tending Your Mindfulness Garden:

Whether you already have a mindfulness practice or are someone who has been trying to get started, this workshop can help!  Randy Wolbert and Cedar Koons, who have been assisting Marsha Linehan, Roshi, at mindfulness retreats for many years, will address how to start and nurture a daily practice, how to find and work with a teacher and what to do when obstacles arise.  The workshop will also include time to sit together with your fellow DBT practitioners.  Don’t let the frost settle on your garden for another season.  Come be inspired to dig in the rich dirt of your soul!

Thanks so much everyone. Looking forward to November!

Regards,
Adam
