When
we come home to our authentic selves and
experience others as they truly are, rather
than as we wish they could be, love, laughter
and joy emerge. Living heartfully in the
present is a precious gift that opens us
to joy, wonder, and love. This workshop will
explore methods to assist clients in radically
loving and accepting themselves and others
in the present moment. It will also demonstrate
how to assist clients in removing impediments
and establishing a deep and abiding connection
with their true selves while creating community
with loved ones in an intimate and authentic
way. Psychodrama provides us with a safe
environment that helps us regain and maintain
focus and move ahead with enthusiasm, creativity
and joy. This workshop will offer techniques
to assist clients in transforming their challenges
and mobilizing their strengths. Antonina
Garcia and Dale Richard Buchanan invite you
to participate in an intensive psychodrama
and expressive arts training experience where
you will have the opportunity to experience
and expand your own personal power while
enjoying the profound support and connections
of community. Simultaneously, you will increase
your professional knowledge and skills in
a structured and relaxing environment. Hutchinson
Island Marriott Beach Resort and Marina,
north of West Palm Beach, FL was chosen for
its comfortable meeting space, deluxe accommodations
and oceanfront recreational facilities.
OBJECTIVES
During the weekend, participants will identify techniques
for helping clients tap into authentic aspirations
and move toward stated goals. Participants will
learn prevention as well as restoration and healing
through psychodrama. Expressive arts and psychodrama
intervention techniques will be utilized to demonstrate
how to begin the healing process and to heighten
and increase selfempowerment through creativity
and spontaneity. During the week-long, participants
will learn to reframe and challenge the negative
experiences that impede the ability to thrive.
They will explore creating new roles, strengthening
and nurturing emerging roles, and reducing reliance
on worn-out roles. The training will focus on
helping individuals gain action method skills
for assessment, intervention and evaluation.
Participants will also have ample opportunity
to practice and demonstrate their skills in a
supportive environment.

Pre-Conference Workshop:
Welcoming Home “Our Beloved” Enlivens
the Alchemy of Body Wisdom
The body is a grace filled eco-system that houses
our inner environment, from cells to soul. Our Beloved
is the daimon described by Moreno, Jung and Hillman
as the god or spirit who acts as an emissary between
the worlds of heaven and earth, guiding and supporting
our sacred natures. In this one day workshop we will
invoke our daimon's energy, welcoming home our
Beloved through guided body imagery and rituals,
utilizing psychodramatic enactments that conjure
up our personal alchemy for self-healing and a greater
capacity for loving relationships. Creating an enriched
role development of our body's wisdom brings
us truly home.
You'll learn:
• History and philosophy of Body Alchemy • Senses
as channels
and communication into the body universe
• Body oriented exercises into the mind of the
body • How to incorporate
body alchemy into the practice of psychodrama

Psychodrama is the use of action techniques
to explore an individual's private and public
world in a multi-dimensional way. The aims
of this nontraditional approach often are
to
enrich, clarify, and gain new perspectives
in life, relationships and problems. Psychodrama
is also useful in helping the individual
to express unexpressed feelings and to find
and practice
new ways to change unsatisfying situations
in life. Psychodramatic interventions are
designed to encounter people where they are
in the present and assist them in contacting
and developing the best that is within themselves
whatever their functioning level. Psychodrama
reinvests power in the person. Clinically,
psychodrama can be used with groups or
individuals and provides a creative approach
to human growth.
