President's Message

Sometimes I think of the Satir Institute of the Pacific as a sailing ship which puts into its home port each year at the AGM. At that time, it presents various reports on its voyage and adventures during the last year. Sometimes the winds have been favourable and all the sails have been hoisted aloft, other times only a few of the many sails have been able to be raised due to passing storms or becalmed seas. The owners or members of SIP decide whether to change the captain and crew and send it off again into the ocean for another year...

Online Training with China


Before Covid, I had the privilege of teaching in Beijing and Chongqing China. That became impossible as the Corona Virus became a barrier to travelling anywhere. I had already taught 10 days of a 15-day training in the use of the Sand Tray combined with the Satir Model and neuroscientific research (NSST).
