The Madsons
are senior certified Constructive Living instructors. For
over twenty years they have been teaching Constructive Living
privately and to groups. Patricia, a Stanford University faculty
Emerita, has taught CL at Stanford in their Continuing Studies program
in a course titled "Constructive Living: Zen Inspired Wisdom
for Everyday Life." Both the Madsons have lectured in
Japan to the International Congress of Morita Therapy and to the
International
Naikan Congress on Constructive Living topics. Patricia
was
invited to Beijing to present a paper to the International Morita
Congress
in 1995. Her writings include an article,"Reality's Work" which is
published
in the anthology Mindfulness and Meaningful Work, edited by
Claude
Whitmyer (Parallex Press). Her book, Improv
Wisdom: Don't Prepare, Just Show Up was published by
Bell Tower Books, a division of Random House in
May, 2005. Patricia has been invited to teach Constructive
Living at Esalen Institute, the Institute for Transpersonal
Psychology,
the Vega Institute and the Meaningful Life Therapy Association of
Kyoto,
Japan.
Ronald is the President of the International
Association
for Constructive Living. He was a featured speaker at the Louis
Pasteur
Institute in Kyoto, Japan and at the Shibata Hospital giving talks on
CL
to the Meaningful Life Therapy Association. The Madsons

in the home built by Ron, a retired liscensed contractor, who used CL
