Upcoming Events
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.
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

which are also open to a wider group of participants.

Current and Past Events
Discover more about your own experiences in working with cultural difference. Develop greater spontaneity so you can respond well to new situations and come up with fresh responses to repetitive or confounding dynamics. We call this ‘finding your feet’.

The stage beckons and challenges each one of us to display, reflect and refresh the nature of our actions, our interactions. In this workshop we will highlight the matter of rising up, stepping forward as relevant to production, directing and leadership.

Clinical Supervision Group: Using action methods theory and practice
This supervision group is for professionals conducting clinical work in groups and one to one settings, including psychodrama practitioners, trainees and other professionals interested in this approach.
This workshop uses the psychodrama method to develop the art of slowing down in the company of others. Participants can expect to generate a range of experiences of the psychodrama method and to become familiar with the training approach taken at Melbourne Campus.

Developing presence and the capacity to work with the emerging life in ourselves and others is the focus of this weekend. It is an essential aspect of the practice of the psychodrama method and of the training process at Psychodrama Australia.
Belonging is fundamental to us as human beings. We have a strong desire to belong, to be ourselves, to be at ease and accepted in a place or community. We come to discover more of who we are through being with others. Yet belonging and not belonging are not always simple experiences.
This workshop focuses on your own belonging and your capacity to generate experiences of belonging for others. In approaching these complex areas of life, sociodrama offers a space – outside the home, workplace, public and social media – to come to grips with your experiences and concerns as a member of society and as a global citizen. A group context and active methods are used for this exploration.
You will experience and learn how sociodrama can be used to open out areas of social and cultural life for deeper consideration.
Leaders: Bev Hosking and Jenny Hutt
