Dear Friend of the Gifted,
 
If you're among the many people who have become intrigued with Dabrowski's Theory and eager to learn more, I wanted you to know about this OUTSTANDING opportunity!  This fabulous conference is being offered "just around the corner" in Illinois -- at Pheasant Run Resort in St. Charles, a lovely venue that's good for a summer get-away, too.

Check out the flyer and be sure to look at the website to get a peek at all of the excellent sessions at the Dabrowski Conference.  The presentations offer all kinds of opportunities to learn from presenters who are among the "Who's Who" of those who are highly knowledgable about Dabrowski's Theory, and I'd love to see you there!  

Warmest wishes,  
Linda Silverman :)
