Hi CANDC: Thank you for your kind offer! There's certainly no problem with people coming from different backgrounds. However, Palmer's concept of the "circle of trust" is a well defined entity with specific do's & don't's attached to the process. The process is taught in seminars around the U.S. & perhaps in other countries as well.

Palmer is a Quaker. And his concept of the "circle of trust" is based on 400 year old Quaker practices. My interest in this is to see if this practice can be used on the internet. To my knowledge, this has not been done previously. And it seems like PsychCentral could be an excellent place to attempt it.

But in order for this to be of interest to me, it needs to be done in accordance with Palmer's principles & techniques. In this instance, I'm less interested in what I might get out of it for myself, than I am in learning if the technique can work in an on-line venue such as PC.

By the way, I'm certainly no expert when it comes to this process. I've merely read a couple of Palmer's books, one of which goes into a fair amount of detail with regard to the circle of trust process. I'm interested in it as a technique for personal growth & development.
