The Etna Project: New Hampshire
Dear Colleague:
I am happy to announce another cycle of the Etna Project, NH, an intensive
working/learning opportunity that has been meeting in Etna, NH since 2002-
2003.
If you've taken Foundations I and II with Betty Colonomos, have an interest in exploring interpreting theory, applying the work of Lev Vygotsky, engaging with colleagues in ways that promote self-discovery and learning, consider joining this exciting endeavor. Participants commit to attending the sessions and bringing video samples of interpreting or mentoring which will be used in the work together.
Our setting (a small, rustic inn with great food and great innkeepers), the
numbers (in years past between 15 and 20), the collective experience (hundreds of years among us!) and the commitment (100 hours and not a small price tag) make for an ideal laboratory for in-depth, on-going, reflective inquiry into the heart of interpreting and how we can improve our life-long work as interpreters, mentors, colleagues and learners.
WHEN:
Nov 3 - 6
Dec 1 - 4
Jan 26 - 29
Feb 23 - 26
April 19 - 22
The sessions run from Thursday evenings at 8:00 pm until Sunday mornings at
10:00 am.
WHERE:

(1.5 hours from Manchester, NH--great small airport) The accommodations are
comfortable though not luxurious. There are a limited number of double rooms
and two bunkrooms, several bathrooms and showers. Food is wholesome,
delicious and plentiful. There are roads for running and walking, hills for
climbing, even a tennis court.
WHO:
Some participants will be returnees. Others will be coming for the first time. We
have had an interesting mix of ages, backgrounds, and geographical distribution,
all of which make for rich discussions.
