Psychodrama Training Weekend Workshop in Adelaide

Psychodrama is an experiential, group method that can be applied in a wide variety of settings – therapeutic, educational, organisational and community.
Using the concerns that emerge in the group, the training workshop will emphasise the integration of the theory and practice of psychodrama. We will draw on supervised experiential learning in psychodrama and group work to develop our spontaneity, enrich different aspects of our functioning, increase our capacity to think systemically and enlarge our roles as group members and group leaders.
These training workshop are for trainees and those interested in experiencing and learning the psychodrama methodology and applying it in your work.
This training will assist participants in developing leadership abilities in all situations and to integrate learning done in the group to their daily life – work, play and relationships – with a view to increasing their capacity to rise creatively to life’s challenges.
his program is designed for professional people who are involved in health, theatre, management, leadership, consultancies, coaching, mentoring, supervision, art, writing, teaching, human potential and creative therapies. The process will assist in the deepening of abilities to step into the shoes of others and this will contribute to the effectiveness of those who are therapists, counsellors, psychotherapists, health workers, managers, trainers and educators, actors, artists, writers and poet.
Learning to apply the systemic action process known as the psychodrama method is grounded in workshop events and participants’ interests.

“Our levels of spontaneity are affected by context and relationships.
Spontaneity flourishes in a universe in which some degree of novelty is continuously possible”
Jacob Moreno (Founder of Psychodrama)
This workshop will introduce Morenian thinking around Spontaneity – its different forms, its relationship to anxiety and how we can train ourselves to be more present and spontaneous.
We will focus on being fully present in the moment: what it looks and feels like, what gets in the way and what assists us and how it enhances our capacity to be both with ourselves and with one another.
The workshop aims to wake us up to our spontaneity and to assist us to look with fresh eyes at the possibility of the present moment.
Psychodrama is a relational method. Dr JL Moreno the founder of psychodrama provides us with concepts and methods that enable us to recognise and articulate and apply elements and processes which constitute a relationship and enable us to participate to our mutual benefit. This workshop will focus on building a culture in which relationships flourish, where we are able to live and build, where healing and purpose can be fulfilled. The training assists in developing confidence in group presentations and in the development of interpersonal and group skills. There will be both celebration of and reflection on training in this workshop.
