Is the Hoffman Process for you?
So many people tell us that Information Evenings are really helpful in deciding whether the Process is for them; yet London may not be convenient for you. So, starting this month, we're offering monthly phone-ins. Call in from wherever you are in the world and join UK Hoffman Director Serena Laurence, pictured here, from 7.30 - 8.30pm BST for our April Information phone-in. Serena, together with Hoffman Teachers and probably some previous Process participants, will cover such questions as:
You can just listen in or, if you have a question, we'll be delighted to help. Click here for Frequently Asked Questions about the call. Can't make this date? Next call is Tuesday May 5th 7.30 - 8.30pm |

April 20th-26th is Depression Awareness Week
supported by the Depression Alliance - you
can support their work here: Depression
Alliance.
Derek Draper, a Hoffman Graduate who has been affected by depression, has done much to bring it into public awareness. In 2007, MIND, a major UK mental health charity presented Derek with their Journalist of the Year award. He's pictured here with, amongst others, Stephen Fry, who has also done so much to help banish the stigma of Mental Health. Derek's new book Life Support: A Survival Guide for the Modern Soul is out this month. When asked how the Process influenced him Derek replied: Hoffman graduates will
recognise that much within it was inspired by
my own time on the Process nearly a decade
ago. But it also draws on what I've learnt as a
psychotherapist. Psychotherapy
helps thousands of people to feel happier,
achieve more success and enjoy better
relationships. But not everyone can - or
wants to - be in therapy. To help them the
book provides dozens of tips and tools that are
available to use
right now. I hope it will be a
good resource for
Hoffman graduates, helping tackle negative
patterns. If you
do read it, let me know what you made of
it! Derek has also recently been interviewed by the Daily Mail with fellow Hoffman Graduate, author and psychologist, Oliver James. You can read their very different views on the link below - see what you think! |

A Chance to Experience the
Process Perspective
If you'd like to find out more about the Process and get a flavour of the tools and techniques, then this is the evening for you. The first hour led by Hoffman Teachers is a short presentation of the Process and a chance to ask any questions you have. Previous Process participants will also be there to share their experiences with you, if you wish. If you'd like to stay a little longer you'll have a chance to experience the Process approach so that hopefully you'll take home a few insights too!
Date: Thursday 23rd April If you're a Hoffman Graduate we'd be so delighted to see you and to hear how you've been getting on since your Process. Sharing your experience can be so helpful for those who are still undecided. |

NEW - Frequently Asked Questions about the
Support Call "The call gave me a 'kickstart' which resulted in a very revealing elevator tool that I did later that evening which made a lot of sense. It also helped me feel less isolated which was brilliant."Alison

(7pm if you can only make dinner). In the UK please book in advance with the Hoffman Office on +44 (0)1903 88 99 90. or email: info@hoffmaninstitute.co.uk. Dinner is £16.

I reconnect with my own Process in ever different ways, and at the same time, am able to take great pleasure in knowing that my experience and even my presence plays some small part in the never-to-be-forgotten memories of the new graduates. David, Herts |
