Upcoming Events
Moreno invented the Social and Cultural Atom as an innovative way to display the self and the range of its significant relationships. It depicts the significant people in an individual’s life, their social atom, overlaid with their dynamic relational patterns, their cultural atom. Its usefulness is that it sets the context for developmental work by understanding patterns in how tele and spontaneity function in relationships. Essentially it a tool for self-awareness.
The best way to understand the power of psychodrama is to experience it.
These evenings are designed to give you an opportunity to experience psychodrama in a safe and gentle environment. Each session will be directed by an experienced psychodramatist with time available for questions about the method and its applications.
Come and join in or sit and watch as the drama unfolds. Experience the power of action methods and gain new perspectives on the way we relate in today’s world.
The three stages of the double, the mirror and role reversal, from birth to approximately 5 years, describe Moreno’s foundational sequence for human development. The corresponding techniques of doubling, mirroring and role reversal emerged from Moreno’s theatrical experiments with role playing and spontaneity in the 1920s. At that time, he knew that his psychodramatic methods worked, but not why they worked. His subsequent insight was that the therapeutic effectiveness of these techniques is because they “are profoundly related to the dynamics of human growth” (Moreno 1952 in Fox, 1987:136).

Current and Past Events
Psychodrama Professional Development Workshop, Canberra: Integrating imagination and intuition
- Increasing our own capacity to move between fantasy and reality in our work and life.
The imagination is a rich source of insight and inspiration passing through the awareness of each human at all times.
Psychodrama (the play of the soul) enables us to have fun and create meaning as we play with the images that arise spontaneously or through guided fantasy (book or movie or relaxation activity).
It also assists us to integrate these constructively in our daily life and work.
This workshop will focus on building a culture in which relationships flourish, where we are able to live and build, where healing and purpose can be fulfilled. Passion and kindness go hand in hand along with a vision of creative living. Learning to reflect on ones behaviour and others will assist in making interventions. Learning to embrace conflict and problem solving, rather than avoiding concerns that arise, will strengthen relationships and assist in the development of a positive group culture. Leadership abilities and the application of the psychodramatic method will be a focus.
Fri 13th 7pm-9pm, Sat 14th and Sun 15th October, 9.30am-5.30pm

Zerka Moreno likened psychodrama to a three-legged stool. The first leg is psychotherapy, the second is group work and the third is sociometry. In order for the stool to be balanced, all legs must be equal. In this workshop we will be paying attention to the second leg – group work.
This training program will demonstrate and teach the psychodramatic method. In particular how the method can bring life and creativity into professional practice. The instruments of psychodrama and psychodramatic method can be used in teaching, psychotherapy, health professions, counselling, management, creative therapies, organisational development, coaching, mentoring, relationship and family counselling and supervision.
Participants will be encouraged to explore those who have inspired us in our life, those who have assisted that fire within to be set alight and have assisted us to live out our dreams. We will explore through action those moments and their effects on our lives and assisted us to live out our dreams. We will explore through action those moments of ‘waking up’ .

This workshop is designed for advanced trainees who are committed to continuing their training in the psychodramatic method. The process will be structured around group work and protagonist centred dramas in a collegial environment. The aim of the workshop is the development of progressive roles, including social atom repair to address ‘road blocks’, that will assist you to move towards the completion phase of training.
Recently it has been widely recognised that success in counselling and therapy is hugely dependent on the quality of the relationship between the practitioner and the client. Hope and skill are also important in this and any professional work.
This weekend will draw out the characteristics of a relationship which assists others to develop. Participants can expect to develop these abilities further themselves.

Agility is essential in our world of ‘pop up businesses’ and constant changing landscape. Successful entrepreneurs have the ability to lead in a positive direction by proper planning, by adapting to changing environments and having the wisdom to understand their own strengths and weakness.
This workshop will focus on identifying strengths and weaknesses, creative planning and releasing fears related to blocking creativity, and which then leads to success.
The follow up workshop, Leadership and Entrepreneurship 2, will be run on 5 & 6 November.
