IDT CONFERENCE 2012

30 March - 1 April
Lake Taupo, New Zealand

We are very pleased to invite all IDT graduates to our fifth biennial conference to be held early next year at the wonderful Tauhara Conference Centre.

This is a conference for IDT enthusiasts of all sorts. One of the outstanding features of IDT is its adaptability and application across an incredibly wide range of uses, so it’s going to be great to meet and find out about the interesting work different people are doing with IDT.  By the time conference arrives, we will have achieved a remarkable 8,000 enrolments in IDT training. We look forward to welcoming those of you who are relatively new to IDT, and catching up with old friends. Your questions, insights and speculative thinking about IDT successes and possibilities are welcomed. 

PARTICIPATION
The conference will be a mix of experiential workshops, case-work presentations, short discussion seminars updating your IDT theory-and-practice, specialty applications, current issues, whole group activities, information sharing, innovative IDT sessions, emotional imagery, and much more. This year there is no central conference theme (other than ‘IDT’ itself) so each presenter can share their current IDT interests and inspirations. Because most of the presentations will have a hands-on component, previous attendance at IDT’s Foundation Course is a pre-requisite. We’ll provide drawing boards, crayons, paper and normal session accessories.

TRAVEL                
If you are flying in, Taupo is a small provincial airport about 15 mins from Tauhara by taxi or shuttle bus. If coming from Australia and further afield, you’ll need to transfer via Auckland, Palmerston North or Wellington. - Book early to secure a seat.

TIMES
Conference days are Friday 30 March to Sunday 1 April. Registration and settling into your rooms will start early Friday, with morning tea at 10.00am, and our Opening Session at 10.30am. Conference ends 2.30pm Sunday – lunch provided.

ACCOMMODATION
Tauhara provides 10 x 4-berth bunk-rooms and a selection of shared cottages, which we have booked for the Friday and Saturday nights, and will allocate on a “first-enrolled first-reserved” basis. If these are fully taken up (as they have in the past) or if you prefer to have your own room, then you’ll need to arrange your own accommodation elsewhere. Taupo Visitors Centre (Ph +64 7 376 0027) has motels listed (Taupo township is only a 10 minute drive from Tauhara). You can google up ‘NZ Holiday Homes and Baches’ for private listings if you want to stay with colleagues. Westerman Real Estate (Ph +64 7 378 6163) have also rented several private houses near by. The Great Lake Holiday Park (Ph 07 378 5159) has cabins 3km away on Acacia Bay Road, and you might be able to arrange private accommodation elsewhere at Tauhara itself. Note that you’ll need to arrange your own daily transport if staying off-site. 

ENROLMENTS
This is a time to strengthen and enrich your IDT skills and awareness, expand your IDT enthusiasm, widen your IDT horizons, deepen your sense of self, soak in a hot-river wallow or walk the river edge, delight in glorious Easter weather, feast on superb food, enjoy the party night, argue the debate, have lots of IDT sessions, make plans, have a quiet time - a necessary luxury of self-care, environment, learning, good company and rejuvenation!
