| Hubert is a highly skilled and engaging practitioner.
His work is creative and stimulating. If you work in the field
of somatics you will most likely find his theories to be of great
interest. Below is a self introduction of Hubert Godard as spoken
by him in one of his workshops: |
| Gregory Bateson [1904 - 1980] - Gregory (as he was affectionately known by many) was one of the most important social scientists and original thinkers of the 20th century. His articles and related materials as pointed to on our site, offer the reader a rare opportunity to delve into the thoughts and feelings of a man who was responsible for having a major influence in the fields of cybernetics, anthropology, sociology, philosophy, cybernetics, psychology, and psychotherapy. One of Gregory's main contributions was re-introducing the concept of "mind" back into scientific and philosophical discussions. For this reason amongst many others we are happy to present his materials, as a way of acknowledging the important influence he has had on Seishindo. |

| Alan Clements was the first American to become a Buddhist
monk in Burma, where he lived for the good part of a decade. Since
leaving the monastery, he has become a spiritual maverick, working
for global human rights and teaching his contemporary understanding
of liberation to audiences around the world. After twenty years
of leading meditation retreats, Instinct for Freedom is his first
book of spiritual exploration, a visionary brew of adventurous
autobiography, with candid touching stories of a life of gutsy,
radical inquiry. |

| Robert Fritz began his career playing music and studying and teaching musical composition. He began to see that the structural principles that are so much a part of the composer's art have profound importance when applied to human development. His first book, The Path of Least Resistance, became an international bestseller. A true classic, it details how a person can utilize the creative process and the knowledge of structure to create their life according to their highest aspirations and deepest goals. His latest book, Your Life As Art, takes his groundbreaking work a step further. It covers the spirit of the creative process and orientation toward the life a person truly wants, not just the life that circumstances happened to bring. An accomplished composer, producer, filmmaker and writer, it is Roberts experience in the arts which has had the greatest influence on his approach to human and organizational development. |

| Philosopher & Cybernetician, he spent large parts of his life in Ireland [1940s], in Italy [1950s] and the USA [current]. Elaborating upon Vico, Piaget's genetic epistemology, Bishop Berkeley's theory of perception, James Joyce's "Finnegan's Wake" and other important texts, Ernst developed his model of Radical Constructivism. This is an ethos shared by all of these writers to one degree or another, although sometimes it is difficult to see where their epistemological agreements begin and end - but that is part of the fun. |

cybernetician, and in general a scientist. He is a VERY interesting

| Carl R. Rogers (1902-1987) was a psychologist and therapist who created what came to be known as the "third force" of psychology, following 1. The behaviorism of Pavlov and later B. F. Skinner, and 2. Freud. Rogers treated clients "as if" they were healthy, and with the belief that positive change would take place when a non-judgmental, non-directive, accepting environment was created. Many people consider Rogers to be the most influential psychologist after Freud. You can read two articles by Carl Rogers at the York University website: |

| Peter Shepherd is a Transformational Psychologist, Supervisor of The Insight Project, and author of Transforming The Mind. Born in London in 1952, he spent most of his life in England before moving to France to be with his partner, Nicole Jeremie. Trained as a rational-emotive and transpersonal psychotherapist, Peter combines these techniques in his own system of transformational psychology, applied to personal growth rather than therapy. Peter's web site, Tools For Transformation, is dedicated to introducing powerful personal development resources to free us of the shackles of the past by re-awakening awareness of our true identity, and so being fully conscious in the present moment. |

| Originally from the UK, William Spencer has lived and worked in Europe, India, the Far East and the Americas. A defining moment for William came in the 1970's while cycling from England to India. In the northwestern wastes of Iran, where nothing grows or lives, an orange and brown butterfly spontaneously accompanied him across the desert for several days and nights. This remarkable event represents for William the wonder of grace, that unbidden support from the Divine that guides and buoys us all. William is the creator of Whole-System Learning, a system of learning design and facilitation to engage participants' head, heart and hands. William's hallmark and personal passion are using innovative and experiential learning methods to increase attention, retention and application of the learning. |

and Starbucks followed their instincts and reached success. |
| For more than 20 years, Stephanie
S. Tolan, poet, playwright and award-winning author of novels
for children and young adults, and co-author of Guiding the Gifted
Child, has also been a consultant to parents and educators about
the needs, both educational and social/emotional, of children
who are considered highly to profoundly gifted. These are children
whose “asynchronous development” puts them out of sync with the
expectations of society and sometimes even their own families,
and also out of sync within themselves. By the very nature of
their differences, these children (and their families) often deal
with considerable psychological pain. This article is a more general
version of one written to help these families deal with the pain
they face. It offers a “handy tool kit” that anyone can use to
deal with the inevitable pain of life. |
| These articles are heartfelt and well thought out presentations
concerning some of the many important issues that we face
today. Hopefully these articles will lead you to take a new
look at the way you perceive yourself and the world around
you. We have linked to these articles with the kind permission
of the Orion Society. |
