Upcoming Events
with Hilde Knottenbelt and Martin Putt
Creating dramas one step at a time gives a group leader the means to work with the emerging life of the group in a structured, poetic and elastic manner.
This training event is for core, intermediate and advanced trainees engaged in psychodrama training in Australia and overseas.
with Chris Hosking
For participants in the 2025 Training Group and trainees from Melbourne and beyond who are actively engaged with psychodrama training.
with Hilde Knottenbelt
When we slow down sufficiently to open out the momentary events that make up our experience, we can be present to the emerging life in ourselves and others. Aspects of these moments can be amplified, the unsaid spoken, the barely conscious brought into awareness. New perspectives can be generated.

Over these three days, participants will be engaged experientially in spontaneity training and the practice and art of psychodrama production. It will involve play, practice, demonstrations, teaching and reflection. Pre-reading will be provided.
This multi-level training group over eight weekends in 2021 at the Melbourne
Campus is an AANZPA accredited training program.
It is for new trainees at the core curriculum level and for trainees at intermediate
and advanced levels of training. It incorporates workshops in May* and August*
which are also open to a wider group of participants.
No matter how skilful we might become at turning our attention to the present moment as facilitators,
group leaders, therapists, coaches, and co-creators, we can never capture 'presence' as an artefact,
to be stored up for later use. Presence remains a thing of the moment: ephemeral and emergent,
requiring our attention and intention, and a commitment to enter the unknown.
'Chopping wood and carrying water' refers to a willingness to repeatedly be open to what is.
It includes being open to the possibility of generating fresh experiences and
integrating them into our being and our actions in the world.
with Chris Hosking
7-8 November
Led by Hilde Knottenbelt
JL Moreno, the person who devised the psychodrama method in the years between the two world wars, is often quoted as saying “I give people the courage to dream again.” This poetic statement refers to the dynamism of the method and its capacity to enable us to be experimental, to play, to try things out in readiness for life, to engage our sensing, embodied beings and to bring vitality to our interactions with others.
