That 2017 Psychology of Vision Trainers Training in Hawaii must have been quite the shindig. Shortly after the event the various POV online sources have revamped their roster of trainers and it appears that perhaps half or more of them are no longer working in the "trainer" capacity, although many of them have moved on to become "Steps to Leadership" (i.e. POV-lite) facilitators.
Canada is now listing only three trainers and POV Canada has apparently deleted their Facebook page. POV UK lists only one single trainer. Both of the Anglo nations have zero events posted as of today (Feb. 7, 2017)
POV Japan has lost three trainers or so, and the once trainer-plentiful POV Europe is down to a mere three trainers now. The trainer depletion in POV Asia is more difficult to ascertain, since their webpage is woefully out of date.
This 10-day Trainers Training is also something of a meeting of franchise holders, so it would appear POV is going through some sort of economic restructuring. It is obvious that many participants were blindsided and stunned by this event. 2017 is going to be a fascinating year to watch Psychology of Vision.
Here are just a few of the many interesting bits surrounding the soiree:
Babs Stevens, Claudia Schönfeld, Alex Patchett-Joyce, Emiko Takano
By way of comparison, here are the POV-Europe trainers in Jan. 2016
Below, they are down to three trainers. Susanne Ernst's caption translates into English:
"It has stormed violently and the sweet gentleness after it is all the more intense."

"A few years ago I went through a very traumatic experience. It came unexpectedly. (Almost) everything was stolen from me within a few hours. Everything I believed in and committed to was torn away from me. Suddenly my friends were no longer my friends, but became evildoers. My purpose in life was taken from me and denied. Everything that I had relied on for years was suddenly gone.
It didn't just fall away. I was actively expelled, mocked,humiliated, cursed and no longer known. In what was previously the safest place for me, there was now neither protection nor support, but instead attack and violence.
I was in shock and traumatized and it felt like my whole life and the floor from under my feet had been torn from my feet. Like a fat earthquake that flattens everything. My life was shaken and collapsed.
I was stripped inside, naked, on the floor, and all sense was gone. And I was really scared. Betrayed, cheated, mistreated, despised.
And then very obvious lies were spread in public and my name dragged through the mud."
