Venue Kingsley Hall, Powis Road, Bow, London E3 3HJ 6.30 to 10pm Celebrating 50 years since the start of the radical therapeutic Philadelphia Association community at Kingsley Hall
Filmed by Peter Robinson, Asylum documents their experiences at the Archway Community in North London. The evening will involve a screening of the film, followed by a panel discussion, joined by Adrian Laing, R.D. Laing’s son and author of 'R.D. Laing: A Life', Dr. Schatzman and Francis Gillett a former Kingsley Hall and the Archway community resident. Dr. Morton Schatzman is an American medical doctor and psychiatrist, who came to London in 1967 to work with RD Laing and the Philadelphia Association. He lived at Kingsley Hall with his wife Vivien for a year starting in January 1968 and ending in December. In 1970 he founded the Arbours Association a London-based charity set up to provide psychotherapy and places to live for people in severe emotional distress. Some of these people might otherwise have been in mental hospitals. Arbours also has a training programme for psychotherapists. Dr. Schatzman is the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Arbours. He is the author of two books 'Soul Murder: Persecution in the Family' and the 'Story of Ruth', as well as many articles. He works in private practice as a psychotherapist. Getting

7th June 2015 R.D. LAING 50 with Luke Fowler + Dr Leon Redler + Dr Joseph Berke + The Bohman Brothers + I LOVE them, for they are my Friends 7th June at 8pm - Tickets sold out Venue Cafe OTO 18-22 Ashwin Street, London E8 3DL The Philadelphia Association was founded in 1965 by psychiatrist R.D. Laing, Dr Leon Redler, Dr Joseph Berke and a number of other psychiatrists, to challenge accepted ways of understanding and treating mental and emotional suffering. In order to celebrate the 50th anniversary of The Philadelphia Association’s residency at Kingsley Hall in London's East End, R.D. LAING 50 will explore some of their radical approaches to "anti"/psychiatry through conversation, film, and music. By unfolding this "soft" historiography of the Association's work, we can hopefully better contextualise its lasting impact on a diverse range of fields, as well as add something to our received history of the time. The evening will bring together practitioners from Kingsley Hall, and artists who have researched and been inspired by its specific time/space. The event is curated by musician Dee Sada. “For people who had been diagnosed as being psychotic and hospitalised, but who found psychiatric treatment unhelpful or harmful, or for people who likely would be diagnosed as psychotic and hospitalised if they found themselves in a medical/psychiatric context, Laing and colleagues wanted to offer the possibility of a place where they could live with others and be safe from unwanted treatment (in all senses). Such a place might be a place for communal and collective research into the understanding of severe sufferings of the soul, or psyche, and/or damaged sense of one’s own being and relatedness to others, without that being ‘medicalised’ and ‘treated’ by means of conventional psychiatry. If actualised, and this is what at least some hoped might happen at Kingsely Hall, that could offer the possibility of fresh ways of understanding self and others and coming to discover who one was and wasn’t…when the conventions of psychiatry and society were put in question and not privileged. 50 years later, I’m an old man and have tried to honour the spirit of that research into the origins of suffering and responsible responses to suffering…in self and others. I remain a perpetual beginner….which may be both too modest and too grand a claim.” Dr Leon Redler, March 2015 "My life at KH was lively, enlightening, exhausting, difficult, infuriating and productive. This is not just because of my involvement with Mary Barnes, but because I was part of a continually changing community which revolved around a charismatic leader, Ronnie Laing. It was a
very creative period which developed new ways of relating to
very disturbed and disturbing people (especially the non designated
patients living at KH, the therapists and artists), the use
of psychedelic drugs ( at that time completely legal) , exploring
political and social systems (particularly through the New Left
Review magazine), meeting all manner of avant-garde artists,
philosophers, musicians, and cranks, and organizing the Dialectics
of Liberation" Conference ( July 1967, at the Roundhouse). LUKE FOWLER Over 200 people attended this event and there will be more discussion coming very soon from the team who created Dee Sada and Nat Fonnesu

Hall was an institution founded by Muriel Lester, with her sister
Doris, which has roots going back to 1912 when the sisters ran
a nursery for local children. Today, Kingsley Hall is best known for Gandhi's three month residence in 1931 while he was attending a major London conference on the future of India. People still come from all over the world to visit Kingsley Hall because of this connection – most recently the son of Gandhi's secretary was shown around. THE POWER OF CARING IN OUR LIVES This one day workshop is based on the core elements which compose the focus on caring in our lives beginning with learning to create and sustain that all important connection with Our True Self. HOW? First we explore the WHY. Why we are driven and in what direction through the all important transitions in our life. The meaning which becomes clear once we remove the blocks which either we create or we allow others to impose on us be these roles, false aspirations. We will also explore my spiritual philosophy of Dynamic Cognition and The DC Effect as an approach to both deepening and SUSTAINING our inner connection with TRUE SELF. Steven Paul Warren has over thirty five years of clinical experience and nearly sixty years of personal experience which composes the foundation of the insights he shares in his writing and recording. In today's workshop you are invited to explore your own personal insights to date. Reflect using accessible tools and approaches to expand your sustained connection with True Self Expression in all areas of your life. This was last years, 2015 programme and, due to unprecedented demand, I shall be offering more two day workshops both here in the UK as well as internationally. My colleagues and I are currently finalising the workshop programme and all will be in place at the end of February 2016.

REBUILDING WHEN A RELATIONSHIP ENDS OR IS ENDING Since I qualified in 1992 after studying with OXEM group to work with groups and individuals in one to one sessions for rebuilding I have been offering courses over nearly 25 years for people to focus on rebuilding when a relationship is ending or ends. Over the past twenty two years I have worked with hundreds of people to explore the steps we go through in either preparing to end a relationship, or when we and our partner have ended a relationship. People who have attended previous seminars and workshops have benefited at many levels in preparing a clear foundation for their future lives. In order for more people to benefit from my work since 2013 I have been offering Virtual one to one sessions so you can work with me from the comfort of your home and you can read more by following this link to the relevant website pages. Rebuilding When Your Relationship Ends - Workshop details - Related article here online. LIFE TRANSITIONS AND BUILDING THE FUTURE Life transitions and as I term the focus of my professional work 'Personal Transformation' are a natural and healthy part within the unfolding stages of our life. For many such transitions are demanding both emotionally as well as psychologically and support from an experienced professional affirms the natural transitions whilst supporting the person each step of the way. Transitions are either a part of each stage of our life such as moving from childhood into adolescence and then into early adult hood followed by middle age or some transitions result from events in our life such as the death of a loved one, loss of an important loving relationship or change of career to recovery from illness. I work within the following specific areas of: Bereavement - Career changes Growing older Ageing - Here you can read more and listen to related recordings about how we work together in exploring life transitions in order to build your future. Related WORKSHOPS Related * articles and * recordings * ONLINE COURSES THE POWER OF CARING IN OUR LIVES In 1989 I created a one day seminar entitled The Power of Caring. In 1988 I had met to amazing people with an equally amazing story of their love and courage in facing a life threatening illness which resulted in complete recovery. The journey embraced the key areas of my work with people and now, twenty five years later, I continue to share such work to enable people to embrace a relationship with true self. So began a series of lectures, talks, seminars, workshops and books which I created embracing this all important title. The key elements of my life and career focus on The Power of Caring and I discovered the key factors which compose this all important focus. Over the past thirty give years I have been training people in my role as university lecturer and clinical supervisor both during my career in the NHS as part of the MSc in Clinical Psychology as well as training nurses and doctors in hospice care and in variety of roles as visiting senior lecturer at The Royal Marsden, London and Surrey branches. I have also worked as an International Training Consultant and had the opportunity to visit over thirty countries where I appeared before doctors and other healthcare professionals as well as media work and presentation to the general public. All of my training programmes are composed of the following key elements to support trainees to the full. We work together as a group for from one day to two day or sometimes three day workshops. All course literature includes copies of my relevant books either in print or ebook format as well as specific training manuals, worksheet and assessment questionnaires. We also work on a one to one basis either in person or via a series of virtual online sessions as well as support through email contact. In addition I offer a series of supervision sessions after training is completed and you are working with individuals in your chosen setting. Some training programmes also include contribution by my colleagues who are specialist in their chosen fields ranging from Clinical Psychology; Psychotherapy to Energy Work and Psychospiritual practice. I take a whole person view and whilst psychology contribute much to such a working process I move beyond the boundaries to embrace a wider view of mind, emotion and spirit so that a firm foundation is created for the individuals personal transformation in the future.
