    Sedona AZ (October 28, 2013) – Local author and human development consultant, Peggy Natiello, Ph.D., recently initiated discussions on world issues in the UK at international Going Global events. Natiello’s presentation, “Into the Chaos with the Person-Centered Approach,” was the impetus for two, three-day meetings. Natiello reported growing enthusiasm for the dialogues, which she originally began with a Going Global gathering in Vermont in 2011. “While my British hosts concentrated our meetings in Sheffield and Glasgow,” she said, “they expanded the participation to Japan, Australia, Africa and other parts of Europe through technology.” Although the average-size group was about 70, hundreds more were linked in from around the globe.

    The person-centered approach, developed by renowned American psychologist, Carl R. Rogers, holds the belief that persons will move inevitably toward health, psychological maturity, and conflict resolution in a climate of congruence, empathy and unconditional positive regard. Dr. Rogers employed this approach in calming troubles in South Africa, Central America and Northern Ireland before his death. He was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in acknowledgement of his efforts.

    Employing Rogers’s tenets, Natiello and her colleagues led groups that included participants from England, Africa, China, Bulgaria, Spain and Hungary. “I was overjoyed to see the mutual understanding among citizens of the world,” she said, “and to hear an urgent desire for similar events in other countries.”

    Author of The Person-centered Approach: A Passionate Presence, Natiello earned her Ph.D. under the supervision of Dr. Rogers. She has written about and practiced the person-centered approach in training, therapy, education and large groups, and believes it contains the seeds for social change. Natiello will duplicate her UK presentation at the January celebration of Rogers’s birthday in San Diego, and is considering bringing the global experience to Northern Arizona.

    City Council Weighs ATV Ban Ordinance Proposal
    By Tommy Acosta
    The Sedona City Council at its May 23, 2023 meeting took no action on a proposed ordinance that would ban all off-road vehicles from being driven on state-owned public roads or streets owned by the city. The ordinance, spearheaded by Sedona Mayor Scott Jablow on the premise that such vehicles pose a risk to the health, safety and welfare of the community, would impose heavy fines to anyone driving the ATVs or OHVs on city streets, including S.R. 179 and S.R. 89A. ATV rental companies have admitted that such vehicles are not intended or designed to be driven on paved roads, yet, in Arizona, they are allowed to do so under Arizona Revised Statute 28-1174 (4B). Opponents against the ordinance argued at the meeting that if adopted the ban would cripple the ATV rental industry in Sedona and cause much hardship to the owners and employees, as it would effectively, as written, destroy their livelihood.
