This professional development is for anyone who works with others as counsellors, coaches, organisational consultants, team leaders, community service providers, managers, teachers, health professionals, or who are working with individuals or groups in any field.

As well as the full-year Training Program (view Here), workshops for Introduction to Psychodrama and Professional development using Moreno's action methods will be offered from time to time. These will provide Registraion information on this website and are open to those new to psychodrama and any professional people intered in developing more creative reponses to life.s circumstances and more satisfying relationships.

You are invited to our last workshop for the Year.

TRAINING WORKSHOP – INTEGRATION AND SUSTAINING THE CREATOR

This session provides an opportunity to review and integrate learning of the many dimensions of psychodrama experienced throughout the year.

Role development requires congruence of feeling, thinking and action, with spontaneity, creativity and expression in the moment.

We will work together to develop strategies to ‘stand by’ the new and emerging roles and to keep our creativity warmed up to remain fully alive as we transition from training for the year.

 

Anyone new or less familiar with psychodrama will gain insight into the theory and practical application of psychodrama, as we reflect on and enact moments of challenge and learning, of delight and healing.

In this weekend workshop psychodrama trainees can expect to have an experience of sociodrama, one of the specialties of psychodrama.  The purpose of sociodrama is to bring about effective inter group and intra group functioning.  Elizabeth, who is leading this weekend, has most of her experience in conducting sociodramas in large public sector organisations; the Audit Office, Universities, Treasury, Health Department, Police, Education, Agriculture and Fisheries, etc.  She has also used sociodrama in some private sector organisations and in the community sector, particularly in disability services, ‘What must I develop to thrive in a world where some people think I’d be better off dead?’

You are invited: -

At its heart, psychodrama is a vehicle for the imagination, liberating us from the isolation of fact, repetition, and self-reliance. On the psychodrama stage our relationship with our self, and with others can be revised and enriched so we may feel connected to the universe again. Entering into our own and each other’s worlds as protagonists and auxiliaries with a spirit of play, experimentation and generosity we will use the truth and magic of the psychodramatic method to embolden hope, restore dignity, and ignite spontaneity.

In this experiential weekend workshop we can apply the philosophic, psychological and dramatic theory and praxis of psychodrama and simply enjoy all that this method affords. You can revisit, reimagine, and reinvigorate your past, your present and your future.

Intrigued? Leadership of yourself?

In exploring ways we can engage with others in our world, there is a huge challenge. There is you with your world view and there is the other with their world view – how do we develop a progressive, inclusive and mutually respectful relationship.

Leadership of ourselves requires care, patience, and flexibility - and this workshop we will work together in an encouraging environment, to bring forth our creativity to back ourselves and enhance our capacity to be with Other.

Psychodrama is an active and enlivening method which aims to increase spontaneity, strengthen relationships and build community.

Psychodrama is an active and enlivening method which aims to increase spontaneity, strengthen relationships and build community.

Curious about psychodrama? The best way to find out is to experience it - come and join us. 

Spontaneity is a foundation concept of the psychodrama method. It involves the ability to respond to people and situations in a lively, authentic and thoughtful way. It involves letting go of the old and moving into new ways of being. Spontaneity flourishes in an atmosphere of experimentation and playfulness, and enables us to bring forward our creative abilities, and to move into the unknown with courage and confidence

Psychodrama is applicable in workplaces, education, coaching, community, therapeutic and personal situations, and contributes to both personal and professional development. If you're a professional educator, manager, HR / organisational change agent, counsellor, teacher, facilitator, psychotherapist, social worker, trainer, or related creative arts, you will find this workshop of benefit.
