REMEMBERING WCRT4
Remembering WCRT4/1
Pre-Congress Workshops/2 In her speech at the opening night Tulin Etyemez Schimberg had started
EARTh School Leaders with a poem by Mevlana Celaleddin-i Rumi and here, we would like to
Meeting/3 recite it again:

So, all of you are welcome… again! This is a complimentary newsletter
for all attendees of the WCRT4 and EARTh members; a reminiscence of
its own kind: it follows the activities of the congress week, mostly in
pictures, with all kinds of expected and unexpected moments they
brought along. In other words, if you have some qualms about your
possibly questionable moves at the some nights, you are kindly warned.
EARTh This newsletter contains graphic material.
Annual Convention In the “President’s Letter” dated September 2011 (which you may read
2012 in the EARTh web site), Hans TenDam says “What nourishment we
provide one another at the congress? Of course, knowledge and
Kleve, Germany experience and wisdom and all that. But something more primitive as
July 16-20 well: company… Therapy is a lonely business; regression therapy is a
very lonely business. Conventions and congresses are places where we
for detailed information meet each other at a common watering hole…. During the congress there
please visit will be no others. We will be among ourselves.” He is right.
www.earth-association.org
We hope that this complimentary newsletter will help you to relive the
experience of being among ourselves. Again, if you have recurring
nightmares about an impossibly purple Gucci bag, you may not want to
continue.
The Program Committee of WCRT4 would like to thank all of you for
WCRT5 making this congress a wonderful event where there were no others.
See you in

Trisha Caetano
USA
“Integrating Psychosynthesis, Gestalt and Client-
Centered Therapy in Regression Work”
I could not make up my mind about this one:
“Should I attend to Hans’ or Trisha’s?” Finally, I decided
to see Trisha in action and her way of tracing her steps
through a demo session was so informative that I
congratulated... myself (of course!) for this good decision. I
thought that I could catch Hans’ second workshop,
anyway. However, due to a “hangover” (of the flu +raki
kind), I missed Hans’ second workshop and I started to
doubt my decision making capacity.
Luckily, on my last day in Kusadasi, a Turkish friend
asked me to translate her private session with Hans and...
as you can imagine, it was like a private workshop for me.
Like in the refrain, “somewhere in my youth or my
childhood (of some past lives, perhaps) I must have done
something good”; because I have no other explanation
for such a good fortune and privilege of meeting,
working and studying with such a wonderful gathering
of like-minded people. You are truly amazing!
Thank you!

EARTh School Leaders Meeting, October 19 2011
This meeting was so secretive that we couldn’t obtain any comments from
the attending people.
Some house maids were gossiping that in some rooms they saw some
strangely embroidered, long and black capes. Following this lead, Serdar
Çilekar (our dear hard working photographer) took this picture by putting his
life at risk but we have no idea whatsoever what happened after that
moment.
The question remains: “Who’s the one in the middle with the paper bag
over his head?” We want anwers.
Walking.. up and down the big stairs, walking through
corridors, up and down to the beach, the swimming pool, up
and down between the workshop rooms.
Food.. for thought, conversations with all nationalities, even
Dutch!, food for my heart, sense of belonging, connection, and
lots of food for the stomach, many metres of salads, turkish
dishes, international dishes, fruit, fish, meats, 5 metres of
desserts, all colors of cakes, puddings, baklava's.
Feeling warm, connected, satisfied, and even got some sun
in the process.

EARTh Movie
At the opening night, when Tulin announced that we would watch a short review of
the EARTh DVD “Why Regression Therapy?” we all felt proud and excited.
This documentary is written and directed by Ulf Parczyk from Germany, its
soundtrack written by Resat Guner from Turkey and the narration done by Dave
Graham from United Kingdom and produced by Nassos Komianos from Greece as the
chairperson of the PR Committee. They are all distinguished colleagues of ours and
they gave all their love for this work.
In this documentary, you will see interviews of the pioneers of Regression Therapy,
who share their basic insights with us.

“Integrating EMDR in Regression Therapy”
It was sometimes hard to choose which workshop
to attend, there were so many interesting subjects.
It’s very interesting and nice to see how different
people work and combine regression therapy with
other methods. Some of the methods I wouldn’t
Bonnie Cripe use myself, other methods I may add to my
USA approach.
“Regression Therapy with Traditional Clients” But perhaps what’s even more inspiring than
the workshops themselves is to be together with so
many people from so many countries that work in
this field. It’s so nice to talk to people that share the
same interest and are – generally - likeminded.
It was amazing to notice how easy you connect
with people in such a setting. Some people I had
never met before felt almost like family (perhaps
they once were...) immediately. With others whom
I’d already known before, I got much closer during
the days at the congress.
So, thanks to Tulin and everyone else for
organizing! And thanks to all the other attendees
for being there. It was wonderful!

“Integration Sessions: the Crown on the process”
Athanasios Komianos
Greece I want to share with you why I chose to present Asklepeian
“Hypnoscopesis: Integrating Ancient Therapeutic Therapy on my workshop.
Techniques into Post-Modern Therapy” Last October Roger Woolger was visiting with me at Corfu.
During that week we discussed a lot about traditional healing
practices, especially those that had to do with incubation
techniques chiefly practiced in the greater area of ancient Greece.
The dream healing chambers that still exist are well preserved on
the ancient sites of Asia Minor, nowadays western Turkey. No one
could ever attempt to present such a workshop without first visiting
these sacred places. During the last years I had already visited the
remnants of such temples in Southern Italy and Sicily, I had seen
most of similar sanctuaries in Greece, but I had not visited them in
Turkey. Were I to make such a presentation in Turkey, I had first to
visit and tune in with the specific spots. I had to resonate with the
particular energies, walk on the same land that my ancestors
walked on and feel the places. It was a decision I and Andromache
made. Then Roger told me that he had planned for a similar trip to
sacred places of Ancient Greece. It would take place at the same
time. His students would come all the way from Brazil and after the
tour of Greece they would end up in Turkey for the congress. That
was a great way for them to have a far better picture during the
seminar. My attempt with Andromache was to reenact and display
in a short span what took place in a long period.
Unfortunately for all, Roger’s tour was cancelled. So in a sense it
was partially realized but I think with great success. Thanks to
Asklepios for being there.
Do not forget in such events people have difficult choices. They
enjoy greatly one workshop, only to find after a while that the other
ones were just as great. But that is how things are.

Walter Semkiw
USA Congresses are not only places to see how other colleagues work
“Pearls from Ian Stevenson, and become better therapists ourselves. It is a place where ideas
Including Cases from Turkey” should be exchanged and updates taken. Dr. Semkiw did an excellent
work in summarizing and popularizing Dr Stevenson’s work. This is
something missing in our field. We have all to realize that what we
are dealing with is not necessarily fantasy material as our criticizers
claim. Sometimes it is true memory recollection. The facts and
objective evidence presented by Walter was more than compelling to
say the least. Too bad that so few people are interested in such
information. My opinion is that we certainly need more of this in our
annual events. You can visit the ISSIS website and contribute with

Just to let you know that Roger Woolger passed away last
friday after a serious yet quite brief illness. I believe it was a
peaceful transition with his family around him.
Roger has had a huge influence on the development of
Regression Therapy around the globe and will be missed by
many.
I met him last summer, attended his workshop and
interviewed him about his work in Regression Therapy for the
'Why Regression Therapy?' dvd.
Although I did not know him well, it was clear he had a
passion for life and a passion for helping others through
regression. As a pioneer of Regression Therapy, Roger often
had to stand alone in this.
-Dave Graham
Yesterday I was at dear Roger Woolger’s (friend/colleague/mentor/brother's) memorial with about 50 of his
family, friends and community which was only a tiny representation of his global tribe.
We cried, laughed, shared stories and our heartfelt connection. It was over too soon...just like his time here on
earth. But he was and has been so present and is really enjoying his new found freedom in the spirit
world...now he can be everywhere at once...instead of taking planes all over the world.
After 10 years of working together, five of them sharing a house and office in NY, I didn’t know what
memories to share that would capture who he truly was. I read some letters from his international
community containing descriptions such as Troubadour, Alchemist, Shaman, Renaissance Man, but even
these fall short of shining a light on his natural brilliance.
I shared two memories of the time I spent with him in London while he was in Hospice. The first was
when we were ‘busting him out’ every weekend to take excursions and the head of the hospice whispered
to me “It’s ok, we don’t mind if he treats this place like a hotel.” Such was his adventurous spirit…right to the
end, and the staff was touched by that, as they also said “He obviously is a man who lives his life to the
fullest”. Because he did, he gave so many others ‘permission’ to push their own boundaries and discover who
they truly were.
The other memory was of me reading to him the 20+ pages of well wishes and thoughts that were
coming in from around the world, and he burst into tears, he was genuinely stunned by all the love and
appreciation and didn’t feel worthy of such admiration….and I told him that is exactly why you ARE worthy of
it. His authentic humility and generous heart, is truly why people loved him so much!!!
There is so much more left to say…but of all the words I've said to you...and about you...Goodbye is the
one I can't speak

Until we meet again...
Dear WCRT4 attendee,
Thank you for attending and supporting with your presence WCRT4 in Turkey. We hope that the congress
was meaningful to you and that it will help your practice.
Apparently, it was premature to have the Fifth World Congress in Canada in 2014, so we decided to have
it in a country with a larger base of regression therapists. The choice fell on Portugal. For next World
Congresses (2017 and 2020), both Canada and India are shortlisted already. Bob Holmes is exploring the
possibility of founding a Canadian association of regression therapists.
We are happy to inform you that the next Congress will be in Porto, the second city in Portugal. The new
Congress Committee has constituted itself, picked dates and a theme.
Of course, EARTh is sponsoring the congress. Other sponsors are being sought. The Congress Committee
is in contact with local organizations and possibly we will have the support of a local university.
Progress on the program and the organization will be announced on the congress website:
