Upcoming Events
Living in the here and now is central to the psychodramatic approach. The past has gone, the future has not yet arrived and the only changes we can make are in this moment. In this way, as Max Clayton taught, the present is vital for our existence. Living in the moment means accepting what is and accepting others as they are right now, creating a solid basis for everything that flows afterwards.
As human beings, we regularly find ourselves at our growing edge. It may be the edge of awareness, the edge of our skill, the edge of what we can tolerate. This involves a dance between the inner forces that undermine the natural need for growth, and the ability to hold oneself in the unknown and stay open to what might be emerging. In this workshop, you will have the opportunity to explore your growing edge, your role development, your process of learning and what you would like to develop further, both at work and in life.
Current and Past Events
The best way to understand the power of psychodrama is to experience it and these evenings are designed to give participants an opportunity to experience psychodrama action method in a safe and gentle environment. Each session will be directed by an experienced psychodramatist with time available for questions about the method and its applications.
These workshop will focus on building a culture in which relationships flourish, where we are able to live and work. In which healing and purpose can be fulfilled. Passion and kindness go hand in hand along with a vision of creative living. Learning to reflect on ones behaviour and others will assist in making interventions. Learning to embrace conflict and problem solving, rather than avoiding concerns that arise, will strengthen relationships and assist in the development of a positive group culture. Leadership abilities and the application of the psychodramatic method will be a focus.
Agility is essential in our world of ‘pop up businesses’ and constant changing landscape. Successful entrepreneurs have the ability to lead in a positive direction by proper planning, by adapting to changing environments and having the wisdom to understand their own strengths and weakness.
This workshop will focus on identifying strengths and weaknesses, creative planning and releasing fears related to blocking creativity, and which then leads to success.
The follow up workshop, Leadership and Entrepreneurship 2, will be run on 5 & 6 November.
