Upcoming Events
February – November 2025
Psychodrama training group (60 hours)
with Patricia O’Rourke
This series of six one and a half day training workshops will be for a closed group. Trainees will deepen their understanding of psychodrama, expand their role repertoire and capacity for spontaneity, and experience the potential of the psychodrama method.
The training will assist people interested in working with others in innovative and creative ways, with increased liveliness and from multiple perspectives.
The aim is to increase trainees’ capacity to create and maintain co-operative, authentic relationships and an enhanced sense of purpose, through learning about and participation in psychodramatic enactment and group work.
