About
the Workshop:
Positive experiences and relationships from our past give us hope and
courage for today and the future. In this evening workshop we will
re-connect with our resources-cultural, spiritual and interpersonal-
drawing nurturance, guidance, and strength to meet the challenges of
the coming year. Psychodrama and group psychotherapy will be our tools.
Join us for an evening of feeding our souls, our relationships and our
visions. No
previous psychodrama or group experience needed. Shy people welcome.
What
Is Psychodrama? What
is Psychodrama? Psychodrama is an experiential method of exploring our
private and public worlds in a multi-dimensional, creative way. It
helps people safely express unexpressed feelings, develop insight and
find and practice new, desired behaviors. Psychodrama encounters people
where they are in the present and assists them in contacting and
developing the best that is within themselves. As a natural outgrowth,
people experience a deeper connection and appreciation of others.
Psychodrama emphasizes creativity and spontaneity rather than illness
and pathology.
