Peace Project Report
By Libba Wells, MSN, RN, CS
IRI’s Peace Project, started in February, 2002, meets each Monday at 2 pm Eastern. A core group of Imago therapists and spouses/partner of Imago therapists continues to develop Communologue, a tool which expands the Imago Intentional Dialogue for use in group settings. Members have used the tool in a variety of settings, such as in holding the polarities/conflict in our Imago community, for those concerned for Middle East Peace, in therapy or support groups for men and women, and for teaching young people effective skills in communication. Communologue experiences have been held at Imago conferences in Toronto, South Africa, Vienna, and others.
The Imago Peace Project will have a presence at the Atlanta Conference in October in leading Communologue. My husband, Jim—who joined me in January in co-chairing the group—and I will be leading this training, assisted by a number of active Peace Project members. We would like to hear how you have used our Communologue materials in your private practice, in a setting in your community, or at an Imago gathering you have held. We’d love to hear your experiences, how the tools have worked for you, and what you have learned. E-mail me at libba@creativebalance.com or Jim at jim@creativebalance.com. Thank you.
