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.
This multi-level training group over eight weekends in 2019 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.
This three day training workshop in Melbourne will be most relevant to those who have a keen
interest in the psychodrama method, body psychotherapies, drama therapies. Psychodrama has
at its core a deep interest in the movement of the human body - what it teaches us and
how it can guide us in an exploration of the human psyche.

Current and Past Events
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
This multi-level training group is an AANZPA accredited training program.
It is for new trainees at the core curriculum level and trainees at intermediate and advanced levels of training.
The group is led by Jenny Hutt, Hilde Knottenbelt and Chris Hosking.
In response to migration and refugees, Angela Merkel opened the German border and Donald Trump is putting deportation and building a big wall on his US Presidential ‘to do’ list. Here in Australia, a third of us were born overseas and we are said to live in one of the most successful multicultural nations in the world. Yet successive Australian governments detain asylum seekers off shore, despite clear evidence of the damage this is doing.
This evening session is an invitation for us to consider our experiences, impulses and challenges in coming to grips with our country’s approach to migration, refugees and people seeking asylum. Aspects of the psychodrama method will be used to help us build our connections as we discover more about the things that matter to us.
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.
This supervision group led by Richard Hall is for professionals conducting clinical work in groups and one to one settings.
This includes psychodrama practitioners, trainees and other professionals interested in this approach.
Participants may enrol for the whole year or for one or more series. Each series has for a maximum of five participants.
Here’s a chance to notice, reflect on and savour some of your experiences of life this year…. To consider what has absorbed you, and what has been satisfying, inspiring, challenging, surprising.
Saturday Oct 3 - Sunday October 4
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.
We live our lives in a busy, worldly, multicultural city on a blue planet at the edge of the galaxy. And while many of us are not religious, “sacred” experiences in our everyday lives can often delight and sustain us.
In this experiential workshop you will be invited to reflect on moments in your life which you might call sacred. There will be a chance to participate as some of these experiences are explored in action. You are likely to come away with an enriched view of yourself and others and our inner worlds.
11-13 September (3 days)
Many groups face the challenge of creating a culture in the world that will enhance our development, and be a community of learning, where there is mutual respect and interest. For creativity to flourish in a group, attention needs to be paid to the emerging interpersonal dynamics. If these are anticipated, valued and understood, the likelihood increases of individual and group purposes being achieved.
