My son at Aspen Ranch

--- End quote ---
You read correctly. We were given his book and asked to read it before we came to the workshop. My wife went to the workshop and reported back that she thought it was very informative and well run. If I remember correctly, she said that he lectured and then they had breakout sessions where they discussed the book. The kids joined these discussions on the second day of the workshop.
And for those interested, an update on my son: He graduated high school and is in the process of moving into an apartment and he starts community college next week. He is a very bright young man that chooses not to put too much effort into school, but he has stated that he is ready to start taking things more seriously (only time will tell). When I told him that Aspen Ranch was closing, he had very mixed feelings. His first thought was "that's great, now no other kids will have to go through what I did." About a week later he told me that he was a little sad that it had closed because there were kids and teachers/counselors there that he did like and that he was hoping to go back one day and visit. All in all, he is doing better, but still has a ways to go(don't we all).

I'm glad to hear that your son is doing better, Nigel. All in all, it sounds like the pace is a lot more realistic (and based in reality) than that promised by most programs. Thanks for sharing that, along with your son's dichotomous reaction to the closure of Aspen Ranch. Those kinds of mixed feelings only make us human.
Some posts about Foster Cline, starting here. Do you have any idea how frequently he give talks on the TTI circuit?

No, I'm not really sure, Ursus.
