<div>'''Maria Gomori, M.S.W., Dip.C., PhD.,''' ([[May 25]], [[1920]] – ) is a pioneer in the field of systems family therapy. She has a long and disciplined background, and has made significant contributions to the fields of psychiatric and social work training, having designed numerous successful training programs. She is the foremost living proponent of the Satir Method for Family Therapy in the world. In 2004, she was named "Woman of Distinction" for the field of Health and Wellness by the City of Winnipeg. In the same year Winnipeg's Saint Boniface Hospital Research Centre established a lectureship in her name to honour her long and varied contributions to the health system and the people who use it. (Vesely, 2004).<br />

[[Image:MGom.jpg|180px|right|Maria Gomori]]<br />
Gomori is a family therapist in private practice, and a retired Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Manitoba's Faculty of Medicine. Gomori also is a Clinical Member and Approved Supervisor with AAMFT, the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy. She worked intensively with [[Virginia Satir]] for over 20 years and has been a faculty member and advanced trainer in Satir's ''Avanta International Training Organization'' since 1981. Dr. Gomori is also a certified practitioner and Master Programmer in Neurolinguistic Programming. She has established an international reputation as a workshop leader, teaching, demonstrating and applying her interpretation of the Satir model. She has conducted workshops throughout Canada, the United States, Europe, South America, Thailand, Hong Kong, Taiwan, China and Australia. She co-authored with Virginia Satir et al ''The Satir Approach to Communication'' and ''The Satir Model: Family Therapy and Beyond''; the latter book was chosen by the AAMFT Foundation for the 1994 Satir Education and Research Prize (Family Therapy News, 1994). Gomori has worked tirelessly in her international lectures and seminars; she been instrumental in establishing Satir Institutes in Winnipeg, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Australia, and is in great demand internationally for her workshops and training programs. She has a unique creative way of integrating Virginia Satir's approach with her learnings from many other great teachers combined with her own experiences in living (Vesely, 2004).<br />
<br />
She earned a B.A. at the Sorbonne, an Economics degree in her native Budapest, an M.S.W. at the University of <br />
Manitoba, Dip.C. from the [[Haven Institute]] and Ph.D. from the Open International University. Dr. Gomori developed the family therapy training program for the residents in psychiatry at St. Boniface Hospital in Winnipeg, MB, and was the Coordinator and Director of the Social Work Department at this hospital for 14 years. Since her retirement, she has continued to lecture and offer seminars and workshops around the world, teaching annually in China and Taiwan and North America, even at the age of 86 (Gomori 2002).<br />
<br />
Her life story is one of courage. After enduring the Nazi incursion into her native Budapest in the 1940's, she completed her education and rose quickly in the Hungarian government's department of Economics. She fled Hungary in 1956 in the midst of the Hungarian Revolution, and emerged in the free world without money or possessions with her husband and young son. They moved to Winnipeg, Canada, where she studied social work. Her life focus has been on freedom (Usher, 2002), (Winnipeg Free Press, 2002),(Marshall, 2005),(Marshall, 2006). She has received numerous honours and citations (Winnipeg Free Press, April 23, 2003),(Binning, 2003),(Vesely, 2003). <br />
<br />
Bennet Wong and Jock McKeen (Wong and McKeen, 2002, p. xii) said this of Maria:<br />
<br />
:"''Maria's life is a testimony to the principles addressed by existential philosophies: freedom, authenticity, responsibility,and moral agency. With balance and courage, she also accepts the inevitable challenges of angst, loneliness, and paralysing uncertainties. Her mind is alive with ideas, concepts, and novel perspectives on human beings''."<br />

Since her retirement, she has continued to lecture and offer seminars and workshops around the world, teaching annually in China and Taiwan and North America, even at the age of 86 (Gomori 2002).<br />
<br />
Her life story is one of courage. After enduring the Nazi incursion into her native Budapest in the 1940's, she completed her education and rose quickly in the Hungarian government's department of Economics. She fled Hungary in 1956 in the midst of the Hungarian Revolution, and emerged in the free world without money or possessions with her husband and young son. They moved to Winnipeg, Canada, where she studied social work. Her life focus has been on freedom (Usher, 2002), (Winnipeg Free Press, 2002),(Marshall, 2005),(Marshall, 2006). She has received numerous honours and citations (Winnipeg Free Press, April 23, 2003),(Binning, 2003),(Vesely, 2003). <br />
<br />
Bennet Wong and Jock McKeen (Wong and McKeen, 2002, p. xii) said this of Maria:<br />
<br />
:"''Maria's life is a testimony to the principles addressed by existential philosophies: freedom, authenticity, responsibility,and moral agency. With balance and courage, she also accepts the inevitable challenges of angst, loneliness, and paralysing uncertainties. Her mind is alive with ideas, concepts, and novel perspectives on human beings''."<br />

<div>'''Maria Gomori, M.S.W., Dip.C., PhD.,''' ([[May 25]], [[1920]] – ) is a pioneer in the field of systems family therapy. She has a long and disciplined background, and has made significant contributions to the fields of psychiatric and social work training, having designed numerous successful training programs. She is the foremost living proponent of the Satir Method for Family Therapy in the world. In 2004, she was named "Woman of Distinction" for the field of Health and Wellness by the City of Winnipeg. In the same year Winnipeg's Saint Boniface Hospital Research Centre established a lectureship in her name to honour her long and varied contributions to the health system and the people who use it. (Vesely, 2004).<br />
<br />
[[Image:MGom.jpg|180px|right|Maria Gomori]]<br />
Gomori is a family therapist in private practice, and a retired Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Manitoba's Faculty of Medicine. Gomori also is a Clinical Member and Approved Supervisor with AAMFT, the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy. She worked intensively with [[Virginia Satir]] for over 20 years and has been a faculty member and advanced trainer in Satir's ''Avanta International Training Organization'' since 1981. Dr. Gomori is also a certified practitioner and Master Programmer in Neurolinguistic Programming. She has established an international reputation as a workshop leader, teaching, demonstrating and applying her interpretation of the Satir model. She has conducted workshops throughout Canada, the United States, Europe, South America, Thailand, Hong Kong, Taiwan, China and Australia. She co-authored with Virginia Satir et al ''The Satir Approach to Communication'' and ''The Satir Model: Family Therapy and Beyond''; the latter book was chosen by the AAMFT Foundation for the 1994 Satir Education and Research Prize (Family Therapy News, 1994). Gomori has worked tirelessly in her international lectures and seminars; she been instrumental in establishing Satir Institutes in Winnipeg, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Australia, and is in great demand internationally for her workshops and training programs. She has a unique creative way of integrating Virginia Satir's approach with her learnings from many other great teachers combined with her own experiences in living (Vesely, 2004).<br />
<br />
She earned a B.A. at the Sorbonne, an Economics degree in her native Budapest, an M.S.W. at the University of <br />
Manitoba, Dip.C. from the [[Haven Institute]] and Ph.D. from the Open International University. Dr. Gomori developed the family therapy training program for the residents in psychiatry at St. Boniface Hospital in Winnipeg, MB, and was the Coordinator and Director of the Social Work Department at this hospital for 14 years. Since her retirement, she has continued to lecture and offer seminars and workshops around the world, teaching annually in China and Taiwan and North America, even at the age of 86 (Gomori 2002).<br />
<br />
Her life story is one of courage. After enduring the Nazi incursion into her native Budapest in the 1940's, she completed her education and rose quickly in the Hungarian government's department of Economics. She fled Hungary in 1956 in the midst of the Hungarian Revolution, and emerged in the free world without money or possessions with her husband and young son. They moved to Winnipeg, Canada, where she studied social work. Her life focus has been on freedom (Usher, 2002), (Winnipeg Free Press, 2002),(Marshall, 2005),(Marshall, 2006). She has received numerous honours and citations (Winnipeg Free Press, April 23, 2003),(Binning, 2003),(Vesely, 2003). <br />

<br />
Bennet Wong and Jock McKeen (Wong and McKeen, 2002, p. xii) said this of Maria:<br />
<br />
:"''Maria's life is a testimony to the principles addressed by existential philosophies: freedom, authenticity, responsibility,and moral agency. With balance and courage, she also accepts the inevitable challenges of angst, loneliness, and paralysing uncertainties. Her mind is alive with ideas, concepts, and novel perspectives on human beings''."<br />

She fled Hungary in 1956 in the midst of the Hungarian Revolution, and emerged in the free world without money or possessions with her husband and young son. They moved to Winnipeg, Canada, where she studied social work. Her life focus has been on freedom (Usher, 2002), (Winnipeg Free Press, 2002),(Marshall, 2005),(Marshall, 2006). She has received numerous honours and citations (Winnipeg Free Press, April 23, 2003),(Binning, 2003),(Vesely, 2003). <br />

<div>'''Maria Gomori, M.S.W., Dip.C., PhD.,''' ([[May 25]], [[1920]] – ) is a pioneer in the field of systems family therapy. She has a long and disciplined background, and has made significant contributions to the fields of psychiatric and social work training, having designed numerous successful training programs. She is the foremost living proponent of the Satir Method for Family Therapy in the world. In 2004, she was named "Woman of Distinction" for the field of Health and Wellness by the City of Winnipeg. In the same year Winnipeg's Saint Boniface Hospital Research Centre established a lectureship in her name to honour her long and varied contributions to the health system and the people who use it. (Vesely, 2004).<br />
<br />
[[Image:MGom.jpg|180px|right|Maria Gomori]]<br />
Gomori is a family therapist in private practice, and a retired Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Manitoba's Faculty of Medicine. Gomori also is a Clinical Member and Approved Supervisor with AAMFT, the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy. She worked intensively with [[Virginia Satir]] for over 20 years and has been a faculty member and advanced trainer in Satir's ''Avanta International Training Organization'' since 1981. Dr. Gomori is also a certified practitioner and Master Programmer in Neurolinguistic Programming. She has established an international reputation as a workshop leader, teaching, demonstrating and applying her interpretation of the Satir model. She has conducted workshops throughout Canada, the United States, Europe, South America, Thailand, Hong Kong, Taiwan, China and Australia. She co-authored with Virginia Satir et al ''The Satir Approach to Communication'' and ''The Satir Model: Family Therapy and Beyond''; the latter book was chosen by the AAMFT Foundation for the 1994 Satir Education and Research Prize (Family Therapy News, 1994). Gomori has worked tirelessly in her international lectures and seminars; she been instrumental in establishing Satir Institutes in Winnipeg, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Australia, and is in great demand internationally for her workshops and training programs. She has a unique creative way of integrating Virginia Satir's approach with her learnings from many other great teachers combined with her own experiences in living (Vesely, 2004).<br />
<br />
She earned a B.A. at the Sorbonne, an Economics degree in her native Budapest, an M.S.W. at the University of <br />
Manitoba, Dip.C. from the [[Haven Institute]] and Ph.D. from the Open International University. Dr. Gomori developed the family therapy training program for the residents in psychiatry at St. Boniface Hospital in Winnipeg, MB, and was the Coordinator and Director of the Social Work Department at this hospital for 14 years. Since her retirement, she has continued to lecture and offer seminars and workshops around the world, teaching annually in China and Taiwan and North America, even at the age of 86 (Gomori 2002).<br />
<br />
Her life story is one of courage. After enduring the Nazi incursion into her native Budapest in the 1940's, she completed her education and rose quickly in the Hungarian government's department of Economics. She fled Hungary in 1956 in the midst of the Hungarian Revolution, and emerged in the free world without money or possessions with her husband and young son. They moved to Winnipeg, Canada, where she studied social work. Her life focus has been on freedom (Usher, 2002), (Winnipeg Free Press, 2002),(Marshall, 2005),(Marshall, 2006). She has received numerous honours and citations (Winnipeg Free Press, April 23, 2003),(Binning, 2003),(Vesely, 2003). <br />
<br />
<br />
Bennet Wong and Jock McKeen (Wong and McKeen, 2002, p. xii) said this of Maria:<br />
<br />
:"''Maria's life is a testimony to the principles addressed by existential philosophies: freedom, authenticity, responsibility,and moral agency. With balance and courage, she also accepts the inevitable challenges of angst, loneliness, and paralysing uncertainties. Her mind is alive with ideas, concepts, and novel perspectives on human beings''."<br />

Gomori also is a Clinical Member and Approved Supervisor with AAMFT, the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy. She worked intensively with [[Virginia Satir]] for over 20 years and has been a faculty member and advanced trainer in Satir's ''Avanta International Training Organization'' since 1981. Dr. Gomori is also a certified practitioner and Master Programmer in Neurolinguistic Programming. She has established an international reputation as a workshop leader, teaching, demonstrating and applying her interpretation of the Satir model. She has conducted workshops throughout Canada, the United States, Europe, South America, Thailand, Hong Kong, Taiwan, China and Australia. She co-authored with Virginia Satir et al ''The Satir Approach to Communication'' and ''The Satir Model: Family Therapy and Beyond''; the latter book was chosen by the AAMFT Foundation for the 1994 Satir Education and Research Prize (Family Therapy News, 1994). Gomori has worked tirelessly in her international lectures and seminars; she been instrumental in establishing Satir Institutes in Winnipeg, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Australia, and is in great demand internationally for her workshops and training programs.

Her life story is one of courage. After enduring the Nazi incursion into her native Budapest in the 1940's, she completed her education and rose quickly in the Hungarian government's department of Economics. She fled Hungary in 1956 in the midst of the Hungarian Revolution, and emerged in the free world without money or possessions with her husband and young son. They moved to Winnipeg, Canada, where she studied social work. Her life focus has been on freedom (Usher, 2002), (Winnipeg Free Press, 2002),(Marshall, 2005),(Marshall, 2006). She has received numerous honours and citations (Winnipeg Free Press, April 23, 2003),(Binning, 2003),(Vesely, 2003). <br />

<div>'''Maria Gomori, M.S.W., Dip.C., PhD.,''' ([[May 25]], [[1920]] – ) is a pioneer in the field of systems family therapy. She has a long and disciplined background, and has made significant contributions to the fields of psychiatric and social work training, having designed numerous successful training programs. She is the foremost living proponent of the Satir Method for Family Therapy in the world. In 2004, she was named "Woman of Distinction" for the field of Health and Wellness by the City of Winnipeg. In the same year Winnipeg's Saint Boniface Hospital Research Centre established a lectureship in her name to honour her long and varied contributions to the health system and the people who use it. (Vesely, 2004).<br />
<br />
Gomori is a family therapist in private practice, and a retired Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Manitoba's Faculty of Medicine. Gomori also is a Clinical Member and Approved Supervisor with AAMFT, the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy. She worked intensively with [[Virginia Satir]] for over 20 years and has been a faculty member and advanced trainer in Satir's ''Avanta International Training Organization'' since 1981. Dr. Gomori is also a certified practitioner and Master Programmer in Neurolinguistic Programming. She has established an international reputation as a workshop leader, teaching, demonstrating and applying her interpretation of the Satir model. She has conducted workshops throughout Canada, the United States, Europe, South America, Thailand, Hong Kong, Taiwan, China and Australia. She co-authored with Virginia Satir et al ''The Satir Approach to Communication'' and ''The Satir Model: Family Therapy and Beyond''; the latter book was chosen by the AAMFT Foundation for the 1994 Satir Education and Research Prize (Family Therapy News, 1994). Gomori has worked tirelessly in her international lectures and seminars; she been instrumental in establishing Satir Institutes in Winnipeg, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Australia, and is in great demand internationally for her workshops and training programs. She has a unique creative way of integrating Virginia Satir's approach with her learnings from many other great teachers combined with her own experiences in living (Vesely, 2004).<br />
<br />
She earned a B.A. at the Sorbonne, an Economics degree in her native Budapest, an M.S.W. at the University of <br />
Manitoba, Dip.C. from the [[Haven Institute]] and Ph.D. from the Open International University. Dr. Gomori developed the family therapy training program for the residents in psychiatry at St. Boniface Hospital in Winnipeg, MB, and was the Coordinator and Director of the Social Work Department at this hospital for 14 years. Since her retirement, she has continued to lecture and offer seminars and workshops around the world, teaching annually in China and Taiwan and North America, even at the age of 86 (Gomori 2002).<br />
<br />
Her life story is one of courage. After enduring the Nazi incursion into her native Budapest in the 1940's, she completed her education and rose quickly in the Hungarian government's department of Economics. She fled Hungary in 1956 in the midst of the Hungarian Revolution, and emerged in the free world without money or possessions with her husband and young son. They moved to Winnipeg, Canada, where she studied social work. Her life focus has been on freedom (Usher, 2002), (Winnipeg Free Press, 2002),(Marshall, 2005),(Marshall, 2006). She has received numerous honours and citations (Winnipeg Free Press, April 23, 2003),(Binning, 2003),(Vesely, 2003). <br />
<br />
<br />
Bennet Wong and Jock McKeen (Wong and McKeen, 2002, p. xii) said this of Maria:<br />
<br />
:"''Maria's life is a testimony to the principles addressed by existential philosophies: freedom, authenticity, responsibility,and moral agency. With balance and courage, she also accepts the inevitable challenges of angst, loneliness, and paralysing uncertainties. Her mind is alive with ideas, concepts, and novel perspectives on human beings''."<br />

The '''Haven Institute''' is a residential learning centre situated in the Gulf Islands of British Columbia on the west coast of Canada. Founded by [[Jock McKeen]] and [[Bennet Wong]], the centre is owned and operated by ''The Haven Foundation'', a Canadian federal nonprofit charity. ''The Haven Institute'' offers a wide variety of courses for personal and professional growth. It is registered in the province of British Columbia as a Private Post-Secondary institution in accordance with the Private Post-Secondary Education Act of B.C. (SBC CHAP 64). Also, it is a certified Educational Institution under Sec. 118.5 & 118.6 of the Canada Income Tax Act. The programs include a process for students aspiring to achieve a Diploma in Counseling or other post-secondary certification.<br />
<br />
==The Haven Institute History==<br />
<br />
In 1983, two physicians, [[Bennet Wong]] and [[Jock McKeen]] purchased the ''Taylor Bay Lodge'', and transformed the small rural lodge into a waterfront resort and conference centre (MacMillan 1983), (Nanaimo Free Press, 1983), (Flying Shingle, 1983). They called it "a resort with a difference" because people could enter into the activities at whatever level they chose (Littleton 1985) (Haysom 2002). Some people came with their families to enjoy a country resort; groups and agencies held conferences; others attended the numerous residential self-awareness seminars (Adams, 2007). Still others returned for training in group and individual counselling, and over 60 people achieved the Diploma in Counselling (Dip.C.) from ''The Haven Institute'' (Personal Success 1998).<br />
<br />
As their training program developed, Wong and McKeen attracted a faculty of like-minded students and teachers to the residential experiential learning centre on Gabriola Island. By the 1990's, there were fifty visiting faculty members from numerous disciplines, coming to Haven to teach in this nontraditional, open atmosphere of learning and growth (Littleton 1993). Some notable people who have taught there include Erv and Miriam Polster, [[Virginia Satir]], [[Paul Reps]], Carl Whitaker, [[James Bugental]], Bruce Lipton, Lee Pulos, [[Thomas Szasz]], Bill O'Hanlon, and [[Maria Gomori]] (Attorp, 2003), (Nanaimo News Bulletin, 2002), (Litwin, 2005). The annual Haven Symposium has featured Norm Shealy (Izzard, 2003), Joseph Chilton Pearce (Cameron 2005), Gabor Mate (Litwin 2005), Margaret Wheatley (Wheatley & Kellner-Rogers 2006), and Dan Millman (Common Ground 2007). There have also been numerous arts programs in the ''Phoenix Auditorium'', Haven's performing arts theatre (Times Colonist 2002),(Murphy 2003),(Sounder, January 8, 2004), (Nanaimo News Bulletin, 2005),(Sounder, April 2006), (Filax 2006). Haven Institute Press has published a number of books, authored by founders [[Wong and McKeen]] and others (Wellburn, 2005), (Niosi, 2005).<br />
<br />
The Core Programs for the Haven Institute are the modular ''Phase Programs'' and the ''Come Alive'' program that were developed by [[Jock McKeen]] and [[Bennet Wong]]. (Wong & McKeen 1983), (Wong & McKeen 1984), (Therapy Now 1984). Programs have been offered at Haven with Chinese translation since the early 1990's, and numerous Asian people have attended, both as participants, and as trainees in the Haven process (Tao, Sept. 1993), (Tao, Oct. 1993). [[Joann Peterson]] became the Director of Education in 1992, and oversaw the training of many interns and assistants in group and individual counselling until her death in 2007. The programs have continued to develop and broaden (Sounder 2003), (Campbell 2005), (Gibson, 2005), (Litwin, 2005), (Nanaimo Daily News, 2006).<br />
<br />
In 2003, The ''Haven Foundation'' was established as a federally recognized Canadian charity. In 2004, [[Wong and McKeen]] and their three sons, the owners of ''Haven'', passed the ownership of ''The Haven Institute'' into the ''Haven Foundation'' so that the facility and their work could continue in perpetuity (Sounder, January 22, 2004), (Nanaimo Daily News, Jan. 23, 2004).<br />
<br />
==Teaching Principles==<br />
<br />
The methods in the courses are educational, broad and eclectic, derived from a great variety of sources in the fields of humanistic and transpersonal psychology, as well as more traditional fields of psychology, religious studies, drama, music and art. The techniques used cover a broad spectrum of approaches, including gestalt, Reichian body approaches, acupuncture, psychodrama, psychosynthesis, role playing, family therapy, fantasy and visualization techniques, video work, music and play therapy, all stressing encounter and communication skills (Wong & McKeen 1999). The approaches are educational rather than therapeutic, so no medical or nursing care is available (Littleton 1985), (Fayerman 1998), (Times-Colonist, 2001), (Niosi, 2003). Some lectures and discussion groups are involved, but an emphasis is placed upon heuristic education in which the person is invited to experience situations where (s)he will be able to learn what is needed (Tao 1993), (Allen 2005, pp. xi, 20-24, 45-46, 91), (Robelin 2006). <br />

The '''Haven Institute''' is a residential learning centre situated in the Gulf Islands of British Columbia on the west coast of Canada. Founded by [[Jock McKeen]] and [[Bennet Wong]], the centre is owned and operated by ''The Haven Foundation'', a Canadian federal nonprofit charity. ''The Haven Institute'' offers a wide variety of courses for personal and professional growth. It is registered in the province of British Columbia as a Private Post-Secondary institution in accordance with the Private Post-Secondary Education Act of B.C. (SBC CHAP 64). Also, it is a certified Educational Institution under Sec. 118.5 & 118.6 of the Canada Income Tax Act. The programs include a process for students aspiring to achieve a Diploma in Counseling or other post-secondary certification.<br />
<br />
==The Haven Institute History==<br />
<br />
In 1983, two physicians, [[Bennet Wong]] and [[Jock McKeen]] purchased the ''Taylor Bay Lodge'', and transformed the small rural lodge into a waterfront resort and conference centre (MacMillan 1983), (Nanaimo Free Press, 1983), (Flying Shingle, 1983). They called it "a resort with a difference" because people could enter into the activities at whatever level they chose (Littleton 1985) (Haysom 2002). Some people came with their families to enjoy a country resort; groups and agencies held conferences; others attended the numerous residential self-awareness seminars (Adams, 2007). Still others returned for training in group and individual counselling, and over 60 people achieved the Diploma in Counselling (Dip.C.) from ''The Haven Institute'' (Personal Success 1998).<br />
<br />
As their training program developed, Wong and McKeen attracted a faculty of like-minded students and teachers to the residential experiential learning centre on Gabriola Island. By the 1990's, there were fifty visiting faculty members from numerous disciplines, coming to Haven to teach in this nontraditional, open atmosphere of learning and growth (Littleton 1993). Some notable people who have taught there include Erv and Miriam Polster, [[Virginia Satir]], [[Paul Reps]], Carl Whitaker, [[James Bugental]], Bruce Lipton, Lee Pulos, [[Thomas Szasz]], Bill O'Hanlon, and [[Maria Gomori]] (Attorp, 2003), (Nanaimo News Bulletin, 2002), (Litwin, 2005). The annual Haven Symposium has featured Norm Shealy (Izzard, 2003), Joseph Chilton Pearce (Cameron 2005), Gabor Mate (Litwin 2005), Margaret Wheatley (Wheatley & Kellner-Rogers 2006), and Dan Millman (Common Ground 2007). There have also been numerous arts programs in the ''Phoenix Auditorium'', Haven's performing arts theatre (Times Colonist 2002),(Murphy 2003),(Sounder, January 8, 2004), (Nanaimo News Bulletin, 2005),(Sounder, April 2006), (Filax 2006). Haven Institute Press has published a number of books, authored by founders [[Wong and McKeen]] and others (Wellburn, 2005), (Niosi, 2005).<br />
<br />
The Core Programs for the Haven Institute are the modular ''Phase Programs'' and the ''Come Alive'' program that were developed by [[Jock McKeen]] and [[Bennet Wong]]. (Wong & McKeen 1983), (Wong & McKeen 1984), (Therapy Now 1984). Programs have been offered at Haven with Chinese translation since the early 1990's, and numerous Asian people have attended, both as participants, and as trainees in the Haven process (Tao, Sept. 1993), (Tao, Oct. 1993). [[Joann Peterson]] became the Director of Education in 1992, and oversaw the training of many interns and assistants in group and individual counselling until her death in 2007. The programs have continued to develop and broaden (Sounder 2003), (Campbell 2005), (Gibson, 2005), (Litwin, 2005), (Nanaimo Daily News, 2006).<br />
<br />
In 2003, The ''Haven Foundation'' was established as a federally recognized Canadian charity. In 2004, [[Wong and McKeen]] and their three sons, the owners of ''Haven'', passed the ownership of ''The Haven Institute'' into the ''Haven Foundation'' so that the facility and their work could continue in perpetuity (Sounder, January 22, 2004), (Nanaimo Daily News, Jan. 23, 2004).<br />
<br />
==Teaching Principles==<br />
<br />
The methods in the courses are educational, broad and eclectic, derived from a great variety of sources in the fields of humanistic and transpersonal psychology, as well as more traditional fields of psychology, religious studies, drama, music and art. The techniques used cover a broad spectrum of approaches, including gestalt, Reichian body approaches, acupuncture, psychodrama, psychosynthesis, role playing, family therapy, fantasy and visualization techniques, video work, music and play therapy, all stressing encounter and communication skills (Wong & McKeen 1999). The approaches are educational rather than therapeutic, so no medical or nursing care is available (Littleton 1985), (Fayerman 1998), (Times-Colonist, 2001), (Niosi, 2003). Some lectures and discussion groups are involved, but an emphasis is placed upon heuristic education in which the person is invited to experience situations where (s)he will be able to learn what is needed (Tao 1993), (Allen 2005, pp. xi, 20-24, 45-46, 91), (Robelin 2006). <br />

They called it "a resort with a difference" because people could enter into the activities at whatever level they chose (Littleton 1985) (Haysom 2002). Some people came with their families to enjoy a country resort; groups and agencies held conferences; others attended the numerous residential self-awareness seminars (Adams, 2007). Still others returned for training in group and individual counselling, and over 60 people achieved the Diploma in Counselling (Dip.C.) from ''The Haven Institute'' (Personal Success 1998).<br />
<br />
As their training program developed, Wong and McKeen attracted a faculty of like-minded students and teachers to the residential experiential learning centre on Gabriola Island. By the 1990's, there were fifty visiting faculty members from numerous disciplines, coming to Haven to teach in this nontraditional, open atmosphere of learning and growth (Littleton 1993). Some notable people who have taught there include Erv and Miriam Polster, [[Virginia Satir]], [[Paul Reps]], Carl Whitaker, [[James Bugental]], Bruce Lipton, Lee Pulos, [[Thomas Szasz]], Bill O'Hanlon, and [[Maria Gomori]] (Attorp, 2003), (Nanaimo News Bulletin, 2002), (Litwin, 2005). The annual Haven Symposium has featured Norm Shealy (Izzard, 2003), Joseph Chilton Pearce (Cameron 2005), Gabor Mate (Litwin 2005), Margaret Wheatley (Wheatley & Kellner-Rogers 2006), and Dan Millman (Common Ground 2007). There have also been numerous arts programs in the ''Phoenix Auditorium'', Haven's performing arts theatre (Times Colonist 2002),(Murphy 2003),(Sounder, January 8, 2004), (Nanaimo News Bulletin, 2005),(Sounder, April 2006), (Filax 2006). Haven Institute Press has published a number of books, authored by founders [[Wong and McKeen]] and others (Wellburn, 2005), (Niosi, 2005).<br />
<br />
The Core Programs for the Haven Institute are the modular ''Phase Programs'' and the ''Come Alive'' program that were developed by [[Jock McKeen]] and [[Bennet Wong]]. (Wong & McKeen 1983), (Wong & McKeen 1984), (Therapy Now 1984). Programs have been offered at Haven with Chinese translation since the early 1990's, and numerous Asian people have attended, both as participants, and as trainees in the Haven process (Tao, Sept. 1993), (Tao, Oct. 1993). [[Joann Peterson]] became the Director of Education in 1992, and oversaw the training of many interns and assistants in group and individual counselling until her death in 2007. The programs have continued to develop and broaden (Sounder 2003), (Campbell 2005), (Gibson, 2005), (Litwin, 2005), (Nanaimo Daily News, 2006).<br />
<br />
In 2003, The ''Haven Foundation'' was established as a federally recognized Canadian charity. In 2004, [[Wong and McKeen]] and their three sons, the owners of ''Haven'', passed the ownership of ''The Haven Institute'' into the ''Haven Foundation'' so that the facility and their work could continue in perpetuity (Sounder, January 22, 2004), (Nanaimo Daily News, Jan. 23, 2004).<br />
<br />
==Teaching Principles==<br />
<br />
The methods in the courses are educational, broad and eclectic, derived from a great variety of sources in the fields of humanistic and transpersonal psychology, as well as more traditional fields of psychology, religious studies, drama, music and art. The techniques used cover a broad spectrum of approaches, including gestalt, Reichian body approaches, acupuncture, psychodrama, psychosynthesis, role playing, family therapy, fantasy and visualization techniques, video work, music and play therapy, all stressing encounter and communication skills (Wong & McKeen 1999). The approaches are educational rather than therapeutic, so no medical or nursing care is available (Littleton 1985), (Fayerman 1998), (Times-Colonist, 2001), (Niosi, 2003). Some lectures and discussion groups are involved, but an emphasis is placed upon heuristic education in which the person is invited to experience situations where (s)he will be able to learn what is needed (Tao 1993), (Allen 2005, pp. xi, 20-24, 45-46, 91), (Robelin 2006). <br />

<div>'''Maria Gomori, M.S.W., Dip.C., PhD.,''' ([[may 25]], [[1920]] – ) is a pioneer in the field of systems family therapy. She has a long and disciplined background, and has made significant contributions to the fields of psychiatric and social work training, having designed numerous successful training programs. She is the foremost living proponent of the Satir Method for Family Therapy in the world. In 2004, she was named "Woman of Distinction" for the field of Health and Wellness by the City of Winnipeg. In the same year Winnipeg's Saint Boniface Hospital Research Centre established a lectureship in her name to honour her long and varied contributions to the health system and the people who use it. (Vesely, 2004).<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Gomori is a family therapist in private practice, and a retired Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Manitoba's Faculty of Medicine. Gomori also is a Clinical Member and Approved Supervisor with AAMFT, the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy. She worked intensively with [[Virginia Satir]] for over 20 years and has been a faculty member and advanced trainer in Satir's ''Avanta International Training Organization'' since 1981. Dr. Gomori is also a certified practitioner and Master Programmer in Neurolinguistic Programming. She has established an international reputation as a workshop leader, teaching, demonstrating and applying her interpretation of the Satir model. She has conducted workshops throughout Canada, the United States, Europe, South America, Thailand, Hong Kong, Taiwan, China and Australia. She co-authored with Virginia Satir et al ''The Satir Approach to Communication'' and ''The Satir Model: Family Therapy and Beyond''; the latter book was chosen by the AAMFT Foundation for the 1994 Satir Education and Research Prize (Family Therapy News, 1994). Gomori has worked tirelessly in her international lectures and seminars; she been instrumental in establishing Satir Institutes in Winnipeg, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Australia, and is in great demand internationally for her workshops and training programs. She has a unique creative way of integrating Virginia Satir's approach with her learnings from many other great teachers combined with her own experiences in living (Vesely, 2004).<br />
<br />
She earned a B.A. at the Sorbonne, an Economics degree in her native Budapest, an M.S.W. at the University of <br />
Manitoba, Dip.C. from the [[Haven Institute]] and Ph.D. from the Open International University. Dr. Gomori developed the family therapy training program for the residents in psychiatry at St. Boniface Hospital in Winnipeg, MB, and was the Coordinator and Director of the Social Work Department at this hospital for 14 years. Since her retirement, she has continued to lecture and offer seminars and workshops around the world, teaching annually in China and Taiwan and North America, even at the age of 86 (Gomori 2002).<br />
<br />
Her life story is one of courage. After enduring the Nazi incursion into her native Budapest in the 1940's, she completed her education and rose quickly in the Hungarian government's department of Economics. She fled Hungary in 1956 in the midst of the Hungarian Revolution, and emerged in the free world without money or possessions with her husband and young son. They moved to Winnipeg, Canada, where she studied social work. Her life focus has been on freedom (Usher, 2002), (Winnipeg Free Press, 2002),(Marshall, 2005),(Marshall, 2006). She has received numerous honours and citations (Winnipeg Free Press, April 23, 2003),(Binning, 2003),(Vesely, 2003). <br />
<br />
<br />
Bennet Wong and Jock McKeen (Wong and McKeen, 2002, p. xii) said this of Maria:<br />
<br />
:"''Maria's life is a testimony to the principles addressed by existential philosophies: freedom, authenticity, responsibility,and moral agency. With balance and courage, she also accepts the inevitable challenges of angst, loneliness, and paralysing uncertainties. Her mind is alive with ideas, concepts, and novel perspectives on human beings''."<br />

She worked intensively with [[Virginia Satir]] for over 20 years and has been a faculty member and advanced trainer in Satir's ''Avanta International Training Organization'' since 1981. Dr. Gomori is also a certified practitioner and Master Programmer in Neurolinguistic Programming. She has established an international reputation as a workshop leader, teaching, demonstrating and applying her interpretation of the Satir model. She has conducted workshops throughout Canada, the United States, Europe, South America, Thailand, Hong Kong, Taiwan, China and Australia. She co-authored with Virginia Satir et al ''The Satir Approach to Communication'' and ''The Satir Model: Family Therapy and Beyond''; the latter book was chosen by the AAMFT Foundation for the 1994 Satir Education and Research Prize (Family Therapy News, 1994). Gomori has worked tirelessly in her international lectures and seminars; she been instrumental in establishing Satir Institutes in Winnipeg, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Australia, and is in great demand internationally for her workshops and training programs. She has a unique creative way of integrating Virginia Satir's approach with her learnings from many other great teachers combined with her own experiences in living (Vesely, 2004).<br />
<br />
She earned a B.A. at the Sorbonne, an Economics degree in her native Budapest, an M.S.W. at the University of <br />
Manitoba, Dip.C. from the [[Haven Institute]] and Ph.D. from the Open International University. Dr. Gomori developed the family therapy training program for the residents in psychiatry at St. Boniface Hospital in Winnipeg, MB, and was the Coordinator and Director of the Social Work Department at this hospital for 14 years. Since her retirement, she has continued to lecture and offer seminars and workshops around the world, teaching annually in China and Taiwan and North America, even at the age of 86 (Gomori 2002).<br />
<br />
Her life story is one of courage. After enduring the Nazi incursion into her native Budapest in the 1940's, she completed her education and rose quickly in the Hungarian government's department of Economics. She fled Hungary in 1956 in the midst of the Hungarian Revolution, and emerged in the free world without money or possessions with her husband and young son. They moved to Winnipeg, Canada, where she studied social work. Her life focus has been on freedom (Usher, 2002), (Winnipeg Free Press, 2002),(Marshall, 2005),(Marshall, 2006). She has received numerous honours and citations (Winnipeg Free Press, April 23, 2003),(Binning, 2003),(Vesely, 2003). <br />

Bennet Wong and Jock McKeen (Wong and McKeen, 2002, p. xii) said this of Maria:<br />
<br />
:"''Maria's life is a testimony to the principles addressed by existential philosophies: freedom, authenticity, responsibility,and moral agency. With balance and courage, she also accepts the inevitable challenges of angst, loneliness, and paralysing uncertainties. Her mind is alive with ideas, concepts, and novel perspectives on human beings''."<br />
