FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2002
1:30 - 4:50 Student & Faculty Presentations
1:30 – 2:50 Ewan Magie 20C (MAP Advisor: Richard Fleck): Gift and Curse: An Ecocritical Analysis of the Use and Perception
of Nature in Czeslaw Milosz. A combination of historical and ecocritical analysis that places the 1980 Polish Nobel
Laureate in Literature amongst his 20th Century American contemporaries. By examining Milosz's concept of "the
eternal moment" in relation to Paul Shepard's understanding of cyclical vs. linear time, the presenter will attempt a
comparison of Milosz with American nature poets. In making the attempt at this comparison, the presenter will ask what
relevance Milosz, with his "anti-nature" perspective, can have for Ecocriticism and Western concepts of nature. <301A>
Gary L. Webb 21A (Byron Metcalf): Utilizing Metapsychology to Address Spiritual Based Problems in the
Counseling Setting. The presenter will discuss the teachings of Metapsychology in an effort to provide counseling
students with a logical approach to addressing spiritual problems that will surface in the counseling setting. <301B>
Rosemary Anslow 21C (Luana Mangold), Linda Hamilton 21C (Richard Cellarius), and Danielle Marco 21C
(Rob Hunt): Our Earth, Our Health, Our Future: A Case Study of Canada del Oro. The presenters have compiled
aspects of each of their specialized interests to explain the current Canada Del Oro, AZ issue. This significant case study
includes descriptions of the area’s grassroots efforts to address massive environmental degradation in the light of what
many think of as ―progress.‖ <301D>
Juli Bray-Morris 19A (Cappi Lang): Performance Art: An Autobiographical Inquiry Into Self and Culture. Juli will
give a brief synopsis of first person action inquiry and explain why she believes it is a valid, if not essential, tool for
those wishing to work across cultures. She will then perform ―Headless Dolls and Ning Nongs‖ the first section of her
three-part autobiographical performance piece. Following the performance, Juli will lead the audience into an
experiential autobiographical exercise. <Chapel>
Ty Fitzmorris 21B (Mark Riegner), Jay Krienitz 21B (Don Hoffman), Jon Trapp 21B (Dave Parsons), and Jason
Williams 21B (Don Hoffman): Interrelationships Between Natural History, Carnivore Conservation, and Wilderness.
(FIELD TRIP) This presentation will leave Sam Hill promptly at 1:30 pm and is limited to eleven people due to van
space. The Presenters will explore contemporary conservation principles from The Wildlands Concept, to wilderness
areas, to the needs of large carnivores, and our relationship to the understanding of these issues through natural history
studies. The presenters will bring in landscape-wide ecological issues to the small scale and our sense of place by
visiting Granite Mountain Wilderness during the presentation. Attendees will leave this presentation with an
understanding of how science plays an important part of conserving public lands as wilderness. Please plan on bringing
appropriate clothing and footwear for hiking as well as at least a quart of water. <Sam Hill A>
Bill Walton, MA, doctoral candidate, Director of the Tucson Center: ―Researching Research.‖ Participative
Research Project in the Social Sciences and Education: How do MAP Students Develop Theory and Frame the Main
―Questions‖ for Their Thesis Research? This ―experimental‖ research group is a continuation group of interested
students from any program area who were in the original August 2002 group interested in participating in a qualitative
research study where we meet at each of the next six colloquia to discuss individual student programs from the
perspective of theory building and developing your primary ―thesis question.‖ For this meeting we will discuss our
ongoing work as a group and talk about how the theory term is preparing us for our ―research question.‖ In future
sessions we will introduce various qualitative research methods to analyze how students develop their academic plans
within MAP, while at the same time each student participant will be able to discuss and receive feedback on their ideas
for research. This is an excellent opportunity to participate in a qualitative research project utilizing interviews,
participative observation and document analysis while at the same time using your own program as part of a research
design. The group is open but we will have to limit the size at 20 participants. <Sam Hill D>
3:00 – 4:50 Ernie Schloss 20 Tucson (Jeanette Renouf): Addressing Spiritual Issues in Counseling and Spiritual Direction. Using a
wellness model of healing and growth, the presenter will briefly compare and contrast how two helping traditions—
counseling and spiritual direction—address clients’ spiritual issues. The majority of the time will be spent in a highly
interactive and experiential process. Participants will learn some basic techniques of spiritual direction and have an
opportunity to practice this helping modality within the workshop setting. <Chapel>
John P. Engel 18 Boulder (Jed Swift): Integral Research: Understanding the Unique Ways Individuals Relate to
Wilderness. John will present the basics of Ken Wilber's Four-Quadrant Model, with a particular focus on how the
model can be applied to theses projects and research in general. John will then share insights from an integral study in
MAP Colloquium Schedule for all Faculty and Students—November 2002 – Page 2
which he tracked the experiences of seven students in a wilderness program in an attempt to learn how they each
uniquely relate to wilderness. <Sam Hill A>
Rebecca Dowden 19A (Mark Von Destinon): Authentic Movement: The Mind & Body Connection as Therapeutic
Tool. Rebecca will discuss and demonstrate how authentic movement can be used as an expressive arts therapy tool to
help clients connect to their bodies and gain new insight about themselves and their emotions. <Sam Hill B>
Susan Pelissier-Oudman 21C (Frank Nugent): An Introduction to the Theory and Practice of Self-Hypnosis. Self-
hypnosis, or trance, is a natural state of consciousness that can be used to promote introspection and enhance body/mind
communication. This presentation will focus on the historical and contemporary applications of hypnosis, and suggest
methods of trance induction, imagery techniques, and affirmations that can be used by anyone to affect positive personal
change. Following the informational session, attendees are invited to participate in a group induction designed to reduce
stress levels, and heighten awareness of our creative intelligence and personal power. <Room 7>
Scott Heaton 19A (Jed Swift): Rediscovering Rituals and Rites of Passage in the Lives of Adolescents. Over the past
two decades, North Americans have become increasingly interested in understanding and reclaiming the rites that mark
significant life passages. In the absence of meaningful rites of passage, we speed through the dangerous intersections of
life and often come to regret missing an opportunity to contemplate a child’s birth, mark the arrival of maturity, or
meditate on the loss of a loved one. Join me, and together we can increase our awareness of ritual sensibilities and help
each other find more insightful ways of comprehending life’s great transitions. <Sam Hill D>

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 2002
8:00 – 12:30 Student & Faculty Presentations
8:00 – 8:50 Summer Wolfe 20A (Monica Ward): Violence in the Lives of Juveniles. Summer will discuss how violence creates
unhealthy barriers and impedes the development of healthy coping mechanisms in juveniles. She will also discuss how
the "tools of the trade" used in lock-up facilities (such as the Department of Corrections and County Jails) can continue
to reinforce negative behaviors associated with violence. <301A>
Jon Worbets 19A (Jed Swift): Small Steps: The Development of an Adventure Recreation Program into an Outdoor
Experiential Therapy Program. Over the last year, Jon has been working with a small nonprofit adventure/wilderness
organization to move the program from an adventure recreation format to that of an adjunct therapy program. This
presentation will address issues related to changing wilderness and adventure program structure within the confines of
the adventure therapy and wilderness recreation continuum. <301B>
Wayne Flake 19 Tucson (Ken Mroczak): Wayne will explore a few of the wonderful sociological aspects of marriage
including the difference between self-love and narcissism, John Lee's six love styles, and Cuber and Harroff's ideas on
utilitarian verses intrinsic relationships. Participants will participate in an exercise highlighting differences in what we
MAP Colloquium Schedule for all Faculty and Students—November 2002 – Page 3
look for in a mate. Wayne will also present research on demographical reasons why people are more (or less) likely to
stay married. <301C>
Jon Orlando, Invited Guest Speaker: AZ-NO-FEE Coalition. Jon is president of the AZ-NO-FEE coalition that is
based in Flagstaff. The coalition is an organization which opposes user fees (Sedona Red Rock Pass) to access public
lands. Jon will share the coalition's main objective, which is to educate people on the issues surrounding user fees. Many
organizations such as the Sierra Club and the Access Fund support the coalition’s efforts. <Room 7>
Michelle Rigler 20B (Linda Lindsay): The Curriculum Wheel. Do you struggle with creating meaningful units that
challenge all learning styles and intelligences? The presenter will share her research regarding experiential education in a
fun and exciting way. Come prepared to work with a group to create a unit ready for use. Don’t forget your bag of tricks.
<Chapel>
John Quinley 22B (Gary Lester) and June Covington-Collins 22B (Sparky Campanella): English Country Dance
and Nonverbal Communication. John and June will facilitate the recognition of nonverbal clues while the
group learns English Country dances. The nonverbal clues given in this process will also be helpful in practical, day-to-
day situations. <Sam Hill A>
Sable Max 19A (Virginia Hout): Panic Disorder: The Biochemical Basis And Treatment. Panic disorder will
be differentiated from other anxiety disorders using the Biopsychiatric model. Information on genetic
predisposition, environmental stress, and medical conditions that mimic panic disorder will be discussed, as well as
current research, new medications, side effects, and psychotherapy in combination with medical intervention. Sources
for further investigation and treatment will be made available for review. <Sam Hill B>
Gina Miller 20C (Alan Lessik): Making The Cross-Cultural Experience an Experiential One. The presenter will

David R. Parsons, M. Sc., MAP Advisor: Importance of Wildlands for the Conservation of Large Mammals: Using
published information on five large mammals currently or historically common to Southwestern ecosystems (gray wolf,
mountain lion, black bear, elk, and bighorn sheep), Dave will discuss the importance of wildlands to the long-term
persistence of these species. Topics covered will include ecological roles and effects, population viability, effects of roads
and other human habitat disturbances, and space requirements for long-term persistence and evolutionary processes.
<301C>
Dave Gilligan, MA, MAP Graduate: From the Heart of the Mountains. Trees that grow sideways, blue ice, flowers as
escorts to the heavens, this presentation will investigate high alpine regions around the world from both a scientific and
literary perspective. We will address questions like what is a mountain? What is alpine? How have human cultures co-
evolved with mountains over thousands of years? Come and enjoy slides, science, and stories from the Alps, New
Zealand, Scotland, Norway, and North America. <Room 7>
Phyllis Nasta M.C. L.M.T., Invited Guest Speaker: Counseling and Mental Health Issues In The Classroom: Practical
Tips for Teachers. In this seminar Phyllis will discuss a host of issues that come up with children in the classroom - such
as suicidal content in children's writings and drawings, how to handle parents who try to get the teacher involved in
custody disputes, special problems of foster children, etc. We will talk about the right and wrong way to recommend that
a parent seek counseling and how to avoid making diagnoses of such disorders as ADHD even when parents are seeking
that kind of advice. All examples are grounded in classroom experience! Phyllis Nasta is a Certified Professional
Counselor and Certified School Counselor. She is a guidance counselor at Wilson K-8 School in Oro Valley and
maintains a private practice in Tucson. <Chapel>

MAP Colloquium Schedule for all Faculty and Students—November 2002 – Page 4
most commonly occurring forms of trauma including trauma repetition, trauma reactions, trauma shame, trauma bonds,
trauma abstinence, trauma pleasure, trauma blocking and trauma splitting. The presenter will describe the presenting
symptoms for each as well as clinical strategies for treatment. <Sam Hill A>
Joan Clingan, MA, doctoral candidate, Humanities Core Faculty. Literature in Agency to Social Change: An
Exploration of Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun. This workshop will explore Lorraine Hansberry's activism and
specifically her 1958 play, A Raisin in the Sun. Discussion will focus on Act III of the play contrasting Hansberry's text,
the 1958 Broadway performance with Ossie Davis, and the scene as done in the 1961 film with Sidney Portier.
Participants are asked to read the full text of Hansberry's play prior to attending. It is preferred that participants not (re)
watch the 1961 film before attending the workshop. For those not able to attain a copy of the full text, copies of Act III
will be available on Friday night from Joan. After reading the full text, participants are asked to write at least one critical
question for group discussion and email it to jclingan@prescott.edu. <Sam Hill D>
9:00 – 12:30 Rusty Kavendek 19A (Cappi Lang): The Practical Use of the Ecopsychological Four Shields Model of Self. Is The Four
Shields Model of Self the model ecopsychologist have been calling for? Come to this out-of-doors workshop to find out.
Working under the assumption that the human psyche has not lost its grounding in natural law, nor is it spilt from nature,
Rusty will provide a venue for you to experience the uncanny unifying affects/effects of this Model of Self first hand. Could
it be that our estrangement from wilderness settings has diminished our ability to understand and integrate the workings of
our own psyches? Perhaps our more earth-based ancestors, by witnessing and understanding the chaotic reconfigurations of
natural events, were more willing to tolerate the unpredictable turbulence of their own psyches and others. Without
conscious access to these natural reference points the modern human psyche may very well remain stuck in unhealthy linear
modes of thinking causing clinically resistant behaviors. Presenting the basic theoretical tenants of the model and its
applications, Rusty hopes to give participants a profoundly simple and practical Ecopsychological tool in which to approach
therapeutic work in wilderness settings. It is requested that you prepare yourself for a short solo time in a natural setting.
Please dress in warm clothing, hiking boots that cover the ankle, and rain gear if necessary. Bring munchies and water.
<Meet in Sam Hill B, then out to the field>
10:30 – 12:30 Laura A. McCammon, Ed.D.: Dealing with "MaveRicks" in the Classroom. In a post-Columbine world, educators are
faced with the very real necessity of finding help for extremely troubled adolescents. Participants in this drama based
workshop will explore ways to approach Rick, a real student who wrote that if he went on a "killing spree...the best thing
would be to kill women cops." <301A>
Richard F. Fleck, MAP Advisor: North by Northwest with John Muir. For John Muir, the Pacific Northwest was a
constant source of spiritual restoration. Though his first reactions to Yellowstone were negative, he ultimately
discovered transcendental unity with its forests, falls and geysers. Mount Rainier restored Muir's sense of purpose and
connection with the natural world after years of managing a fruit ranch in Martinez. His ascent to the Columbia Crest re-
energized him to spiritual wholeness. Alaska was for Muir what Maine was for Thoreau. In Alaska Muir gained
appreciation of tribal cultures and their close relationship with the natural world, and he gained intimate knowledge of
living glaciers or what he called "God's ice tools." Color slides from Yellowstone to coastal Alaska will be shown.
<301B>
Camilo Florez 21C with MAP Advisor Mark Riegner, Ph.D.: Goethe's Way of Science as an Ecological Discipline:
Case Study of Tijuana Estuary and Mission Trail Park, San Diego. Although few question Goethe's credentials as a
master poet and great literary figure, his scientific work is typically viewed as a historical curiosity. This state of affairs
is somewhat ironic because Goethe, in his later years, hoped to be remembered more for his science than for his poetry.
In fact, it was not his discoveries, which he never emphasized, but rather his methodology, his way of science that was
central to his interests. In this presentation, Mark Riegner will outline Goethe's scientific methodology and describe how
it can provide a foundation for ecological understanding. Camilo Florez will describe the shorebird avifauna of Tijuana
Estuary and the chaparral and coastal sage scrub vegetation of Mission Trail Park using a Goethean approach to
landscape interpretation. Accordingly, he will describe how to observe the whole organism within the context of its
landscape and how ecological patterns are revealed through this approach. <301C>
Liz Faller, MA, MAP Advisor: The Essence of Presence: Explorations in Improvisational Movement and Sound. Liz
will guide participants in an inner/outer journey of deep listening, awareness, breath, movement, sound, and music,
celebrating the exquisite nature of the present moment. Improvisational tools support us in resting and creating in the
face of the unknown and unexplainable. No experience necessary. Liz, Prescott College RDP faculty, has been
integrating and teaching improvisation and meditation for twenty-five years. <Granite Street Performing Arts Center;
218 N. Granite St.>
Michal Gorman, MA, MAP Advisor: Countertransference with the Suicidal Patient. Michal will talk specifically about
the therapist/counselor's point of view in the therapeutic relationship. She will provide a context in which to place the
therapist's reactions to the topic of suicide within the therapeutic alliance. Some thinking about your experiences with
MAP Colloquium Schedule for all Faculty and Students—November 2002 – Page 5
and responses to suicide before the workshop will be useful, so this can be as interactive a workshop as possible.
<Chapel>
Jon Orris 21B (Charlie DeWeese), Stacey Shaw 21B (Charlie DeWeese), Chad Price 21B (Charlie DeWeese), Lisa
Packard 21B (Charlie DeWeese): Place-based Education: What Is It? and Practical Uses in K– College. In this
workshop the presenters will briefly explore the history and current direction of place-based education as it relates to
traditional and non-traditional instruction. Participants will be engaged in activities both indoors and outdoors (weather
permitting). Place-based activities, ideas, and reflection will be modeled which can be taken back and used in your
educational program. <Sam Hill A>
Ericha Scott, Ph.D., Core Faculty Counseling Psychology: Haiku Poetry and Painting. Blending the oriental tradition
of poetry writing and painting, this experiential workshop is designed to honor the cycles and stages of life. Haiku poetry
is a very simple and non-threatening form of contemplation. In Haiku poetry there is usually a reference to the seasons of
nature in relationship to human experience. First participants will review the logistics of Haiku poetry writing, then
Ericha will read several poems by Basho (1644-1694) and contemporary Haiku poets. She will select and read other
essays about nature and aging from the work of Reinaldo Arenas and Jean Shinoda Bolen. With regard to age
participants will focus on the second and third triads of life. Participants will write one or two Haiku poems and then
translate their poem(s) into a painting. (Please remember this is about process and not good poetry or art.) Participants
may choose to share their work with the larger group or not. Due to time constraints not all participants will have time to
share. <Sam Hill D>
12:30 – 1:50 Faculty Meeting: This is our regular faculty meeting for all Graduate Advisors and Core Faculty. Rather than our
usual splitting into area of study groups, today’s lunch meeting will be an all faculty/advisor meeting. The meeting will
begin with a discussion facilitated by the Core Faculty on the topic of the thesis. Lunch will be provided for advisors and
faculty in Sam Hill C. <Sam Hill >
12:30 - 1:50 STUDENTS LUNCH ON YOUR OWN
2:00 – 5:20 Student and Faculty Presentations
2:00 – 3:20 Josh Leonard 18B (Rick Medrick): Developmental Adventure Education in Four Quadrants - The Integral Approach.
Josh will be presenting his thesis on an integral approach to Developmental Adventure Education. He will be drawing
upon the fields of integral studies and developmental psychology, including the works of the philosopher Ken Wilber, to
show how adventure education leaders and other experiential education facilitators can develop a common language of
growth to facilitate more effective and integral programming. In addition to presenting this theoretical framework, Josh
will be describing and demonstrating experientially some tools that other facilitators and educators can use to make the
integral vision a reality in their programs and educational settings. <301A>
Patricia Ireland-Martin 19A (Cappi Lang): Expressive Art Therapy, Brief Therapies, Managed Mental Health Care,
and the Graduate Student; How Do They All Fit Together? What are brief therapies? Where does expressive art therapy
fit in? Managed mental health care is here to stay so where does that leave us, the Counseling Psychology graduate
student? All of these questions and more will be covered in this presentation. <301B>
James McDermott 18C (Richard Lobban): After a brief introduction, James will lead and facilitate a discussion about
the political, cultural, environmental, and developmental challenges facing sub-Saharan Africa. Attendees should be
prepared to express themselves. One question attendees can consider for discussion would be, "If stability is a
requirement for development, what political system provides reasonable stability?" Likely topics will include
authoritarian rule (including military), corruption, HIV/AIDS, and gender violence. A handout will be provided with
African resources and references. <301C>
Ellen O’Dunn 20C (Charles Connell): The Bacchanalia Episode: The First Witch-Hunt in Recorded History. In 186
B.C.E. the Roman Senate rose up to crush a conspiracy of such magnitude that no less than total control of the State
itself was at stake – or so senate leaders claimed. Was there really a conspiracy to take control of the republic as the
consul Postumius proclaimed, or was the senate using a prostitute’s imaginative story to regain control of a people who
were losing faith in their system of government? Was the ―Bacchanalia‖ a drunken orgy celebrated by an occult religion,
or pure fantasy? You decide the answers to these questions as a special guest relates the story of ―The Bacchanalia
Episode.‖ <Room 7>
Denise Moravek 21A (Bev Thomas) and Barbara Silversmith 21A (Yvonne Fortier): Seasons of Change, Expressive
Therapy, and Cycles of Healing. This presentation will be an instructional as well as an interactive Expressive Therapy
MAP Colloquium Schedule for all Faculty and Students—November 2002 – Page 6
session. The presenters will discuss and model the theories of Helen B. Landgarten, Harriet Waideson, and Natalie
Rogers. The session will include a discussion of Expressive Therapy techniques for clients of different ages and ethnic
backgrounds and outline therapy methods for helping clients confront and effectively succeed in overcoming mental
health issues. The Expressive Therapy methods presented will help therapists with the challenge of guiding a client to
identify issues from their past, relate it to present behavior, and ultimately, in the healing process, express hope for their
future. Instructional demonstration time will be followed by a guided Expressive Therapy session with the assembly.
<Chapel>
Vanessa Chamberlain 19A (Peggy Natiello): Reclaiming Our Culture: How You Can Help Right The Balance
Between Commercialism And Family Values. There is a war on children. Many of the challenges faced by youth today
are directly related to our commercial culture. Corporate marketers ranging from food and beverage to multi-media
entertainment industries have been very successful in their attempts to bypass parents, and speak directly to children.
These marketers have tempted our children with the most sophisticated tools they can devise and continue to glorify
violence, materialism, hedonism, addiction, and antisocial behavior. Corporate marketers have literally waged war
against wholesome, peaceful loving family values. To parent well today means, ―parenting against the grain.‖
Fortunately, Commercial Alert, a non-profit, grassroots organization founded by Ralph Nader and Gary Ruskin has
proposed a Parents’ Bill of Rights that will restore parents’ control over the commercial influences on their children.
Please join Vanessa in a discussion about the effects (from materialism to physical acts of violence) of our commercial
culture, the proposed Parents’ Bill of Rights, and the vital role you play in reclaiming our culture. This presentation is
not just for parents, it is for anyone concerned about the degree to which commercialism now influences and impacts our
youth, our families, and our culture. <Sam Hill A>
Rachel Peters 20C (Nicky Phear) and Heather Houk 21B with MAP Advisor Terril Shorb: An Educators Approach
to Community Relationships. Join the presenters for a field trip to beautiful, historic Del Rio Springs. This will be an
opportunity to explore the relationship between education, nature and community. Learn more about Prescott College’s
commitment to building relationships from Environmental Policy to Community Supported Agriculture. This will be an
interactive workshop to explore your own personal relationships while gaining a sense of place in Arizona. (Sack lunch
will be provided – plan on eating in the field). <Meet in Sam Hill B, then out to the field>
Anthony Mullholland 21C (Richard Dance) and Naser El-Masry 21C (Dr. Jinni Tennyson): The Art of Projection
in the Film "Little Buddha". In the first half of the presentation, the ability to alter the images projected by using
different film stocks will be explored with Anthony. The Use of Video in Lieu of Film: In the second half of this
presentation, the use of digital video for creative and artistic expression, examining the theory and the practical of
Videofilm will be explored. <Sam Hill D>
3:30 – 4:20 Nancy Conachy 18A (Judith Waugh): The Neurobiology of Attachment During the First Four Years of Life. Does
mother-child separations during these early critical, developmental years interfere with the human ability to form lasting,
healthy attachments, even into adulthood? The presenter will draw heavily from Drs. John Bowlby and Bruce Perry, who
have devoted their lives to attachment research and its education to both professionals and parents alike. <301A>
Aaron Sparling 19C (Bob McConnell): Ethnographic Methods and Techniques. This presentation will cover field
related research methods such as, selection and sampling, entry, participant observation, and interviewing. Aaron will

Nathan Boston 20A (Charlie DeWeese): Emotional Growth Education. This presentation will focus on emotional
growth that is directed toward specialized boarding schools for adolescents. The presenter will cover the history of
emotional growth education, the main components, i.e. mentoring, peer culture, workshops, and self-studies. The
presenter will also discuss the principles of TIEGE (Training In Emotional Growth Education) an organization that is
actively doing training for schools and individuals who wish to be certified in teaching emotional growth education.
<301C>
Peter Hirsch 19 Tucson with MAP Advisor Michal Gorman, MA: From Adversity to Strength: Adult Resilience.
Michal will speak on preparing for adversity and stress, expanding on Frederick Flach's Law of Disruption and
reintegration. Peter will present the results of interviews of people who have been able to derive strength from adversity,
and show how those experiences correlate with Michal's ideas. <Sam Hill A>
Judith Hennessy 21 Tucson (Neema Caughran): How To Become an Animal Rights Activist. Judy will guide you
through what it means to be an animal in a world dominated by humans. Through a discussion of topics ranging from
factory farming, animal experimentation, exploitation and new legislation, this workshop will prepare interested students
to become involved in service to humanity in the area of being heedful of and sensitive to the suffering of animals in the
world around us. There will be an in-depth study of the exemplary 1995 New Jersey Statute and the United Nations
Declaration of Animal Rights. <Sam Hill B>
MAP Colloquium Schedule for all Faculty and Students—November 2002 – Page 7
3:30 –5:20 John Buie 22D (Alan Lessik) and June Covington-Collins 22B with MAP Advisor, Sparky Campanella, MBA:
Exploring the Triad of School/Advisor/Student in the MAP. Using storytelling techniques and "Exquisite Corpse"
surrealistic-style activities Sparky, June, and John will facilitate the exploration of the roles in the MAP process for
increased understanding, success, and satisfaction. As a result of engaging in this workshop the participants will gain
strengthened awareness as they navigate the MAP process. <Room 7>
Veronica Vida 19A (Annabelle Nelson): A Map/Model of Wholeness: The Wheel of Life and the Five Directions. The
focus of this presentation is on the circle, applied as a map of life, a model of transformation that can serve as a guide
through life¹s unfolding journey. The five elements and five directions will be presented as an integral part of the wheel.
The wheel will be presented and experienced as a symbolic but very real metaphor of four life cycles, and life processes,
as well as a tool reflecting and supporting developmental, psychological, and spiritual growth. In this session,
participants are invited to explore, reflect, and engage in personal inquiry. <Chapel>
Rob Staveland 21C (Robert Sardello): The Sophia and the Redemption of the Fall. Uniting together the ancient
Hermetic and Dualist philosophical traditions is the Gnostic imagination of the Fallen Sophia. The Gnostic Sophia was
not portrayed as a Goddess, but as the world’s soul, standing, not apart from or above the human condition, but with it--
through toil, suffering, and death. This Sophia, by sharing with humanity in the Fall from grace, is able to bring to us a
wisdom born of Faith in divine spirit, a Love by which the heart of creation may fill the world, and a Hope that the
promise of freedom which lured humanity astray may be fulfilled and offered as a gift to all creation. Therefore, the
presence of Sophia as world soul is central to the question of how to be in sustainable community. In a hope of being
true to Sophia, this offering will be oriented less toward concepts of Sophia than toward how we may together
experience her tangible presence and to how we may serve her. A particular focus will be the question of what attention
to the presence of Sophia, as personified wisdom, could bring to those engaged in higher education. <Sam Hill D>
4:30 – 5:20 Manuel Lechuga 18A (Margaret Macias): The Anatomy of a Disability. Using research and personal experience the
presenter will discuss his views on disability issues. The topics addressed will include disability history, disability rights,
and living with a physical disability. <301A>
Jon Trapp 21C (Dave Parsons): Wolf Recovery in North America. Jon will cover traditional and current wolf-human
relationships, specifically focusing on cultural beliefs and misperceptions. He will then review the history of the wolf in
North America from extirpation to recovery. The current and future status of the wolf will be discussed. <301B>
Becky Schmid 20B (Bev Santo): Self Directed Learning. This interactive presentation will address the effects that self-
directed learning has on elementary school students. The benefits and challenges of using self-directed learning with
elementary school students will be discussed, as well as practical solutions for overcoming challenges. <301C>
5:30 – 7:00 Keynote Address
MAP is honored to present Ruth Forman who is an award-winning writer presently living in Los
Angeles. Her first book of poetry, We Are The Young Magicians (Beacon Press, 1993), won the
prestigious Barnard New Women Poets Prize and wide acclaim for its fresh approach to poetry, as well
as a listing by the American Library Association as a 2001Popular Paperback for Young Adults. Her
second book, Renaissance, (Beacon Press, 1998), won the 1999 Pen Oakland Josephine Miles Award
for Poetry. Her work is widely anthologized.
A graduate of UC Berkeley and the famed USC film school, Ms. Forman works to inspire others with
the power and magic of language, frequently collaborating on music and film projects, and providing
readings and workshops to a wide variety of audiences. She has presented her poetry in forums such as
the United Nations, the National Black Arts Festival, National Public Radio, PBS's The United States of
Poetry, and numerous university and community literary programs. She most recently received The
2001 Durfee Artist Fellowship to continue work on Mama John, her first novel, as well as a third
volume of poetry.
Ms. Forman credits much of her vision and inspiration from voices not only before her, but those
singing at this very moment. "We are not individuals, but a chorus."

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2002
8:00 – 12:20 Student and Faculty Presentations, and Core Faculty-Sponsored Workshops
8:00 – 9:20 MAP Core Faculty-Sponsored Workshop: Student-Requested Sessions with Core Faculty. This session will be held at least
once per term so that individual core faculty can meet with their students. CF will facilitate workshops on topics that will be
determined in response to needs voiced by MAP students. This colloquium each CF is providing a session on a topic that has
been requested in the past. Students should give written requests to their individual CF for future topics. These sessions,
which may address MAP process or field-related content, will generally be directed toward student needs; advisors are also
welcome to attend.
Joel Barnes, MS, doctoral candidate, Environmental Education Core Faculty and Doug Hulmes, MS, MAP
Advisor: What Is Environmental Education (EE), Anyway? Exploring EE as a Transdisciplinary Field. In this informal
discussion and question/answer period, we will examine the core aspects of EE, an academic field and profession. You’ll
be encouraged to examine how EE relates to and informs your field(s) of study, regardless of whether your program
includes EE as a primary or secondary emphasis, or if you’re just curious about the field. Our discussion of EE as a
transdisciplinary field will consider the interconnections between EE and other areas like education, adventure
education, environmental studies, ecopsychology, and the humanities. <301B>
Paul Sneed, Ph.D., Environmental Studies Core Faculty: Environmental Studies Research Methods. Continuing the
theme of environmental studies research methods, this workshop will describe some of the principles and procedures for
developing and carrying out inventory and monitoring programs for animals. MAP Advisor Dr. Christine Hass and MAP
student Janice Przybyl will present several examples of such programs and focus on a project, which uses animal tracks
and signs documented by "citizen scientists" in the Sky Islands region of southeast Arizona. <301C>
Rick Medrick, Ed.D., Adventure Education Core Faculty: Rick will facilitate an open dialogue regarding specific
aspects of the MAP including integrating theory and practica, designing a research project, developing a thesis plan, and
writing a successful (and acceptable) thesis. Both students and advisors are invited to attend. <Room 7>
Joan Clingan, MA, doctoral candidate, Humanities Core Faculty: Documenting Your Learning. During this
workshop participants will explore various approaches to documenting learning in MAP. We will briefly discuss
standard research papers. The discussion will focus primarily on alternative ways to document learning, such as the
annotated bibliography, presentations, and oral review. Participants are invited to bring with them samples of their own
learning documentation that can be shared and discussed. <Sam Hill A>
Noël Caniglia, MS, Education and Adventure Education Core Faculty and Christina Lawson, MA, doctoral
candidate, Education and Humanities Core Faculty: On the Varieties of Qualitative Research Methodologies. This
core faculty session on research methodologies is the second of four sections* to be presented in consecutive colloquia.
This workshop will touch briefly on case study and participant observer methodology and focus primarily on
community-based action research. Presenters will discuss the tools shared by all of these methodologies (interviews,
field notes, etc.) and experientially explore their application in action research with the group as a whole. The activities
within this section are designed to help MAP students experiment with the shared tools of these methodologies and to
practice the "look, think, and act" approach of community-based action research. This session will be particularly
valuable to MAP students committed to problem solving and who view themselves as the catalyst for stimulating people
to change. *The four qualitative research sessions are not presented in a particular order therefore participation in the
previous sessions is not needed to apply the value of this section. <Sam Hill B>
Ericha Scott, Ph.D., Counseling and Psychology Core Faculty: Clinical Psychology and Creative Arts Psychotherapy.
This session will present a video written and produced by a woman who is a trauma survivor and dissociative identity
disordered. Catherine, the name of an alter ego-state, describes her experience of trauma resolution, views of DID
MAP Colloquium Schedule for all Faculty and Students—November 2002 – Page 9
therapy and integration. The story of Catherine, an alter who held the hidden memory of a traumatic event, is told
through narration, scenes of therapy sessions, and her sculpture. Her sculptures, an integral part of her healing process,
are used to illustrate the progress she made during therapy. Clear examples are shown of various techniques used in
long-term therapy for trauma such as the retrieval of repressed memories, how to identify and use various processing
modes, art therapy, and anger work. This session is for those interested in trauma resolution and art therapy. There will
be time allotted for an open-ended, interactive discussion of the video. <Sam Hill D>
9:30-10:30 Wayne Flake 19 Tucson (Ken Mroczak): Religious Practice Beneficial, or Does Religion Do More Harm Than Good?
Wayne will look at the question: "Is religious practice beneficial, or does religion do more harm than good?" Recent
revelations of wrongdoing by religious leaders prompt a look at the efficacy of organized religion versus individual
religious practice. What about individuals who have had a moderate to severe negative experience with a pastor or other
religious leader? Survey results of the experiences of over 200 college-aged youth will be presented and examined.
<301C>
9:30 – 10:50 Phyllis Nasta M.C. L.M.T., Invited Guest Speaker: Ethics, Boundaries and Countertransference in Somatic
Psychology. The field of Somatic Psychology is a blend of eastern and western philosophies specific to mental health. It
is also a combination of two healing traditions in the United States, bodywork and counseling. The focus of somatic
psychology is on the mind, body, and spirit connection and therefore may include healing touch. Phyllis will discuss
important issues to consider in this emerging therapeutic approach. For example, boundaries tend to dissolve in massage
and bodywork more than what is common in a traditional therapeutic session. An important question to ask is how does
this affect the therapist's objectivity? Does this phenomenon decrease therapists' objectivity and exacerbate
countertransference? Also, the ethics of confidentiality, dual relationships and diagnostics are different for the field of
body workers versus counselors. In addition, there are conflicts between the certification requirements and the
parameters of malpractice insurance for each discipline. Solutions and challenges will be discussed as well as the
fullness of the therapeutic work that can result from combining both disciplines. Phyllis Nasta M.C. L.M.T. is a Certified
Professional Counselor and Licensed Massage Therapist who practices both disciplines separately and together when
appropriate as a mind-body integrative approach. <301A>
Greg Meyer 21B with MAP Advisor Mark Riegner, Ph.D.: Morphodynamic Patterns in Birds: General Overview and
Case Study of Island Birds. By applying a phenomenological approach to study the relationship between morphology
and plumage pattern in birds, one can uncover covariations between avian form and color pattern that reiterate among
various taxonomic levels, that is, among families, genera, and species. These findings indicate that evolution follows
delineated trajectories and that the range of possible forms organisms can take is somewhat constrained and nonrandom.
For this presentation, Mark Riegner will review his research on morphodynamic patterns in birds and Greg Meyer will
conclude with his findings on morphological relationships within Hawaiian honeycreepers and Galapagos finches. <Sam
Hill B>
9:30 –12:00 Jeanne Cashin, Ph.D. Counseling Psychology Core Faculty, Gina Kelly, Photographer, Jen Chandler, Adjunct
Faculty: Photography and Narrative as a Combined Healing Art. Healing comes in many forms, and this workshop
explores the healing quality of photographs combined with creating narrative around the photographic art piece. We will
discuss the narrative method as it applies to healing and the need for the brain to keep and create a narrative. Adding the
visual of photography may assist the person in integrating the visual picture of the photograph with a corresponding
personal narrative. The art of ―seeing‖ a photograph will be discussed and used in the exercises. Come prepared to
explore your internal landscape through the medium of photography and creative narrative. (Photographer Gina Kelly’s
work will be shown in the Chapel formally on Saturday evening and will remain in the Chapel until Sunday afternoon.)
<Chapel>
11:00-12:20 Anthony Mullholland 21C (Richard Dance): Myth and Make a Mask "Something Else". Do a little something else
with myth and mask and meet the hero with a thousand faces. Those willing to participate will make a mask of their
heroic journey, with an imageo of the third eye, and if willing, interpret the journey that is on it. <Room 7>
Keynote Workshop: Ruth Forman: Shedding Some Light on Your Subject. Through a hands-on writing workshop,
Ruth will offer participants several tools through which they can release the voice of the unknown poet and activist
within themselves. <Sam Hill A>
Richard Cellarius, Ph.D., MAP Advisor: Sustainable Development or Sustainable Livelihoods: Reflections on the
World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD). The presenter was in Johannesburg, South Africa, as a member of
a nongovernmental organization's delegation to the recent WSSD and surrounding events, which occurred 10 years after
the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in Rio de Janeiro (1992) and 30 years after
the UN Conference on the Human Environment in Stockholm (1972). He will report on the outcomes of the meeting and
side events in Johannesburg and reflect on what progress has been made toward true sustainability for people living in

so-called "developing" countries. In particular, the issue of what "sustainability" means will be a major focus of the
discussion. <Sam Hill B>
