Sampoorna's schedule
Chennai
Sampoorna is going to have a free program at the end of May. Details and the FAQ (Fequently Asked Questions) are below.
Free workshop in May for persons facing interpersonal problems in a close relationship
I am giving a workshop in connection with my research on adults with interpersonal problems in a close relationship. This includes adults who are facing any issue currently with a spouse or a parent figure or a child or an in-law or a sibling or a close friend. The workshop is experiential and powerful using gentle, yet deep exercises.
I am informing people on my sms and email list so that interested people can apply. I have already started the interview process to screen participants. I plan to take a minimum of 40 people and a maximum of 60 people. As it is part of my research, I will not be charging for the programme, making it a mutually beneficial arrangement.
I am having a personal meeting with each individual to collect the socio-demographic profile as well as discuss goals and objectives. I will start this from Sunday, the 9th and continue for the entire week as I receive responses. Out of town participants will be interviewed on the phone.
Programme details -
27th, May - Testing, 2 hours per person, timing to suit each participant, to be fixed in advance.
28th, 29th and 30th, May - Workshop, full day, each day.
31st, May - Post test at the convenience of each participant.
27th, June - A follow up test and an optional short session will be offered after 4 weeks.
Venue - Chennai (Details will be given later)
The entire programme will be free of cost. However, to ensure committment and particpation of those who confirm, I will be collecting a participation confirmation deposit of Rs. 3000/- which will be refunded completely during the follow up session.
If you or anyone you know would like to register for the programme, please give me a call on 98402 30151 to fix up a time for a meeting.
I would really appreciate your support in passing this information on to your friends and others who may be interested. Also, if you could post this information on your facebook or twitter pages, please let me know.

FAQ
Hello everybody,
Thank you all for your interest. Some of you have been offering me active support and some of you have shown interest and brought up queries. As these are general questions that anyone may have, here is a set of FAQs and the answers.
Is this workshop only for couples facing issues?
This is a powerful workshop for any person having an issue or a problem with another person who is close to them in some way or is angry at them or feeling hurt by something they do even if there is no open conflict.
Does that mean anyone can come?
It is common for everyone to face some personal issue with another either openly or in their own mind regarding someone. That makes them eligible. I have mentioned 'persons facing interpersonal problems in a close relationship' to give it specificity in a research setting.
Can I come as a counsellor? I thought it was only for clients.
Whether a counsellor or client, we all have issues to deal with. Relationships bring out stuff for us to heal. As a counsellor it is even more relevant and important for us to deal with and integrate these emotions. There are other counsellors, therapists and trainers who are attending too.
You say it is free and yet you are asking for a deposit of Rs. 3000/-. Will we really get back the money and how long will it take?
The workshop which is free of charge this time, normally costs 7,500/- per head. I am taking a refundable participatory confirmation deposit of Rs. 3000/-. The full amount will be refunded during follow up on 27th June after your participation in the entire programme which includes the pretest, the workshop, the posttest and the follow up test. The details of dates are given in the email below.
For what reason do you want the deposit if you are returning it anyway?
The deposit is to ensure that those who register are serious and committed to attend the workshop and do testing. It is a precautionary measure to safeguard the quality of the research. Besides fixing the number of participants for the research itself, I would have to know the numbers to book the place and order food.
What do you gain from giving us a free programme?
I am offering my time and expertise in return for your participation in a scientific research. This is a mutually beneficial arrangement where we both win. Through your participation, you will, besides gaining from the workshop, be instrumental for making this available to the larger society. The workshop will ultimately be offered to the public and free of charge to some NGOs and institutions.
What language will it be in? I can understand simple English but cannot talk too well.
The workshop will be conducted in English. It is enough if you can understand simple English. However, during screening we can assess whether you will be able to follow enough to benefit.
Is this something new that you are doing?
I have been offering the workshop in India and in Ireland and other places for the last 5 years with tremendous results. That is what inspired me to research it and make it a model that can be replicated so that it can be used even by others. The workshop is experiential, using psychological processes.
I do hope you will take advantage of this opportunity and together we can offer a standardised psychological model that can be used in society.
Regards,
Sampoorna
