Current and Past Events
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.
Core psychodrama training in Brisbane gets underway in 2015 on Saturday the 28th February. Participants actively develop themselves as a psychodramatist and group leader using the experiential learning method of psychodrama. The helping professions: mental health, psychotherapy, family therapy, community and organisational development, group leadership, counselling, pastoral care, allied health and other people centred professions, can immediately use elements of what is learnt in core training in their work.
This series of modules is designed for trainees who have 300 or more hours of training, who are using the method in their work and who are committed to further developing as a psychodramatist, sociometrist, role trainer or sociodramatist, and are or becoming Associate Members of AANZPA.
There is a commonly retold story that you may have heard of the Chinese expression, or curse, “May you live in interesting times”.
Apparently, the closest anyone has come to finding an actual Chinese saying that is similar to this is “Its better to be born a dog in a time of peace than born a person in a time of war” Chinese wars were nasty. Interesting times indeed! Interesting times are those where there is a clash between "I like it just the way it is" and "Where next, get me outta here". This workshop runs Friday evening through to Sunday afternoon.
