The Relevance of Sociometry to our Experiences in Groups.

Sociometry has at its core a vision of cohesive groups, interpersonal mutuality and a stable society. Sociometry guides us to explore the psycho-social networks and deeper or hidden structures that affect the groups in which we live and work. The feeling nature of the informal, personal and often invisible systems is an exciting yet threatening field of exploration but the integration of the formal and informal fields can be exceptionally important to the success of a stable, cohesive and productive group.

In this workshop we will explore the sociometric factors that are at play in our groups both in the immediate here-and-now group, as well as other significant groups both past and current. We will be seeking to develop our ability to be the initiators of greater mutuality in relationships and leaders of cohesive groups.

 Dates and Times:  Friday 21 April from 6.30-8.30pm 

                               Saturday 22 April from 10.00am to 5.30pm

Our Essentials programs are designed as an introduction to understanding people through the psychodramatic method and as a starting point to your investigation to see if learning psychodrama would add to your professional and personal life. As an introduction to psychodrama our Essentials programs have elements of theory, group experiences and an opportunity for you to apply what you've learnt. By immersing yourself in the method for two days, you'll begin to appreciate the power of psychodrama and group work, and see ways for it to positively impact on your life and your profession. This one is the first one for the year and is an excellent way to work out if you would like to do the core training program, in which case it does not cost).

Often towards the end of the year folks look back and ponder how the year has gone or where it’s gone; some wonder how the might survive the Christmas break, and some wonder where they might go to from here. Often there is a year-end frenzy of so-called celebrations, lunches, preparations for the coming new year, and other provocations. This workshop is designed for people who would like to take the time to connect with themselves, polish rough spots, pack their emergency gear for the coming onslaught, and simply settle into being a creative force to be reckoned with.

The spiritual quest, the quest for meaning, is often painted as an isolating one, which a person must do alone. When Moreno created psychodrama he created a way that we, as living breathing, strange, fateful, complicated, and isolated beings, can come together and with great intensity and great intimacy build something new in the world. Create something that has never existed since time began. Give birth to an artistic, aesthetic, profound co-creation that nourishes and feeds.

During these workshops we will work psychodramatically to untangle beliefs and habits around happiness and the happiness of those around you. The group will engage with one another at depth and investigate this important and fundamental area of life. We will all leave richer for the experience and wiser for what we have unearthed and learned.

This series will be a collaborative deep engagement and examination of freedom. What it means to you, to others, and how you and I can choose freedom and be free. We may have to kill off sentimentality, move beyond yearning, engage our courage, enter the naked areas of our hidden lives. We wont do it alone. The teaching will come from you, from me, from the group, from our relating, as we journey together. The psychodramatic method will serve us as a means to enter the realms we need, to find the spontaneity and creativity to craft new paths for our thinking, our feeling, and our actions.

This program provides group supervision for counsellors and therapists who are working in private practice, community groups or in organisations. The work of being a counsellor or a therapist is demanding, challenging and highly satisfying. At times, it is very helpful to be with others who do similar work and to reflect on and set out the different systems that develop. There will be opportunities to explore difficult and celebratory moments in one-to-one or group work; relationship issues with the client/s and themes that are problematic.
