Words of Encouragement from General (Ret.) John DeChastelain

We are honored to share a letter we received from General (Ret’d) John de Chastelain CC, CMM, CD, CH.In his letter, General DeChastelain speaks of his familiarity with the use of biofeedback for peak performance as well as its uses in the treatment of trauma and PTSD.

General DeChastelain’s resumé includes his tenure as former Canadian Ambassador to the United States, Chief of the Defence Staff (Canadian Army), and the chairman of the commission tasked with decommissioning the weapons of paramilitary groups in Northern Ireland.

Due to a scheduling conflict, General DeChastelain was not able to accept our offer to attend the meeting but has sent a letter of encouragement for our work promoting the use of biofeedback for PTSD and trauma.

Health professionals, sports psychologists and coaches are invited to learn more about this topic by attending one of these workshops at the BFE 20th Meeting in Cardiff, Wales.

Our Location for the Meeting

We are excited to announce that the BFE 20th Meeting will take place at the Mercure Cardiff Holland House Hotel and Spa!

The decision to move to a hotel was prompted to feedback we’ve received about traveling back and forth to the university settings we have chosen in the past. All aspects of the meeting (workshops, scientific program, poster presentations, exhibitors and breaks) will take place in close proximity. Removing the daily commute will save time each day and the central location of the Mercure Cardiff will allow delegates to conveniently take in the sights of Cardiff without having to travel very far.

We invite you to take advantage of special rates for BFE meeting delegates.

A Message from our President

It is hard to believe that the Biofeedback Federation of Europe will celebrate its 20th Meeting, April 8-13, 2019. Although each meeting has been in a different location, there has been one common theme: Learn From the Best. By bringing together the best international instructors, researchers, clinicians and speakers, we have been able to consistently provide the highest quality of education. The workshops and scientific meeting have provided so many opportunities to meet and learn from each other. I feel so privileged to have had the opportunity to explore new approaches and learn from the many informal discussions over coffee, lunch and dinner.

Just as important as the presenters, are all of you who have attended the BFE Meeting throughout the years. We have been privileged to receive delegates from over 25 different countries at each of our past three meetings. After each meeting, we receive positive feedback about the camaraderie that exists at our meeting and the opportunity to learn in such a welcoming environment. We too, feel connected and inspired by all we have learned, the people we have met and ideas that have been exchanged.

We look forward to have you join and participate in the 2019 Cardiff meeting to help celebrate our 20th anniversary.

Sincerely,

Erik Peper
BFE Advisory Board President
