Current and Past Events
Core psychodrama training in Brisbane gets underway in 2015 on Saturday the 28th February. Participants actively develop themselves as a psychodramatist and group leader using the experiential learning method of psychodrama. The helping professions: mental health, psychotherapy, family therapy, community and organisational development, group leadership, counselling, pastoral care, allied health and other people centred professions, can immediately use elements of what is learnt in core training in their work.
This series of modules is designed for trainees who have 300 or more hours of training, who are using the method in their work and who are committed to further developing as a psychodramatist, sociometrist, role trainer or sociodramatist, and are or becoming Associate Members of AANZPA.
There is a commonly retold story that you may have heard of the Chinese expression, or curse, “May you live in interesting times”.
Apparently, the closest anyone has come to finding an actual Chinese saying that is similar to this is “Its better to be born a dog in a time of peace than born a person in a time of war” Chinese wars were nasty. Interesting times indeed! Interesting times are those where there is a clash between "I like it just the way it is" and "Where next, get me outta here". This workshop runs Friday evening through to Sunday afternoon.
