I'm Dr. Selene Vega!
Whew! I did it! -
I've sent in my dissertation!
Well, the 1st draft, anyway. It should be sitting in the inbox of my committee chair, David Lukoff. Now I wait to see what he thinks it might need in the way of revisions, additions, subtractions, etc. What an amazing feeling, to have that obligation to write lifted, at least for a little while! -
I have done it
I have entered the world of FaceBook. I refused to do it for a long time, but now that I have I am completely in awe of the whole phenomenon. In just three days I have reconnected with a bunch of folks I haven't seen in years, and discovered that someone I know from a professional community went to 7th grade with my younger sister. I keep shaking ( Read more... ) -
The questionnaire
It occurred to me that I could put the questionnaire here for anyone who wants it. It's behind the cut.
Dear Friends and Colleagues,

The research begins
My dissertation proposal has been approved, and I am now sending out questionnaires through email, soliciting people's integration of transformative workshop experiences.

Yay! I'm a PhD candidate!
Well, I still have to go through the formality of doing my oral exam with my committee chair. The three professors could not find a time they could all meet with me until a month from now, so I did it with two of them this morning. My chair said that usually these things don't even last the full two hours, so it would probably be consideraly less ( Read more... ) -
Finally finished Candidacy Essay 3
Actually, I finished it a month ago, but the professor had thoughts about what I needed to do additionally and/or differently. I have been plunged into the work of rewriting more fully than I imagined possible. Following references down the rabbit hole to further references ( Read more... ) -
Goodbye to Madeleine L'Engle
A Wrinkle in Time profoundly touched me when I was 9 years old. I thank her for that story, and for all of her writing. May her words live on, even though she is gone.

Working hard
Odd that I should feel a pull to post on a day that I've been so busy I've barely had time to breathe. I am in workshop-hosting mode, moving at a brisk pace from 7am-9pm to feed 30 people breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks in between. It's exhausting, but gratifying. This is a SoulCollage Facilitators Workshop, training 26 people to facilitate ( Read more... )
