I didn’t really think through how ToP methods are so empowering of democracy, until I met Mr. Shapovalov at that meeting. I hope and pray for them all, even Maks Chmerkovsky from “Dancing With The Stars” fame, who was arrested and now trying to get back to his wife and kids in America.

We should also remember our ICA Ukraine colleagues, including Svitlana Salamatova. I met her a few years ago at Greenrise during an ICA Archive event. She is working on a Ukrainian language edition of my book

<div> </div>
</div>
<div style="word-wrap:break-word;line-break:after-white-space">Hello colleagues.
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><b>Background</b></div>
<div><i>ICA Denver colleagues and others organized a Jean Houston Mystery School in 1990–1991</i>. Three Russians visited the Mystery School one weekend and were introduced by their host in the US, Dr. Laura Dodson, a Denver Jungian analyst
who had visited Russia to meet psychologists and teachers as Russian opened to the world in the 1980s. For reasons unknown to me at the time, I vowed to attend one of the [Virginia Satir] Family Camps—the second one, as it happens—organized by Laura and her
new Russian colleagues.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><i>I was in Moscow the week before and during the attempted coup of August 19, 1991.</i> I met a man at the family camp who was interested in facilitation methods. We discovered that both of us had been born on November 12: me in 1942,
he in 1956. Alexey’s and my friendship has grown ever since, first by fax, then by email, then in each other’s homes, then by Skype and most recently by Zoom and WhatsApp. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><b>Connection 1.</b></div>
<div>During the build up of Russian troops around Ukraine in recent weeks, Alexey and I talked at length about the build up of troops. I would say, “This is against international law.” Alexey would say, “But’s it’s complicated.” Both of us agreed
we did not have access to all the facts. And then Russian troops invaded Ukraine. My friend emailed the next day:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Subject: Ukraine</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><i>I could not believe that it may happen.<br>
As well as many people in Russia.<br>
But it happened. I was wrong.<br>
Terrible.</i></div>
<div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I replied:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><i>You are a dear and faithful friend. Now friends watch in horror.<br>
</i></div>
