The two and half hour session started at 7:30 am IST and was moderated by Dr. Ashok Bedi, IAAP Liaison Person: India Developing Groups.
The session conducted via AdobeConnect hosting (video conference) was very widely appreciated and attended by Fr.Joe Pereira (from Germany at 4.am ) , Ms.Nirvana Crowley ( from London 3.00 am) and most of Kripa centre representatives from across India.
Due to poor internet connections many Kripa centers could be online to be part of a such a informative session.
Dr. Ashok Bedi and Dr. lance Logon M.D., assured Fr. Joe that they would promptly send a DVD of the presentation to Kripa Mumbai Jungian Centre so as many in the field of addiction treatment could benefit.
