Current and Past Events
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
A psychodrama training workshop led by Chris Hosking
Friday, Saturday and Sunday 2-4 September 10am-6pm
This workshop is designed for trainees who wish to sharpen their awareness of and enlarge their ability to respond to the sociometric networks in a group. In the field of sociometry it is recognised that these feeling networks are powerful factors that affect the vitality and nature of group culture.
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.
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.
Leading a full life, moving from one thing to another, can leave us without enough space to adequately absorb, savour or share experiences which mean something to us. In a similar vein, Bushmen from the Kalahari when asked why they were refusing to continue the journey after several days walking, said ‘We are waiting for our souls to catch up’.
Developing presence and the capacity to work with the emerging life in ourselves and others is the focus of this weekend, led by Hilde Knottenbelt.
It will be of interest to people who wish to expand their capacity to work with groups and individuals in a range of settings and to those who wish to develop greater flexibility and efficacy in their professional and personal lives.
A psychodrama training workshop led by Chris Hosking
Friday, Saturday and Sunday 13-15 May 10am-6pm
In this workshop there will be an emphasis on the concepts and application of role theory and the unique approach this theory makes to the human psyche. The workshop will involve the participants as directors, protagonists and auxilaries and in periods of reflection and review.
We all have them: everyday moments which need a more inspired response than we come up with at the time. Instead, we can narrow down, withdraw, condemn, dither or collude. We experience a failure of imagination.
This session uses action methods from psychodrama to engage you in revisiting a range of everyday situations in a spirit of play and experimentation.
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.
The group is led by Richard Hall
