PSYCHODRAMA TRAINING

Speaking the Truth:

Standing in Power

WEEK-LONG INTENSIVE

JULY 8 - JULY 14, 2011

Attending and attuning to our soul and spirit connects us to our inner truth. Speaking and standing in that truth with authenticity and respect guarantees us potency and peace of mind. This training will focus on how to help clients discover their essential truths and embody them in everyday life. 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 self-empowerment 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.

Participants will also have ample opportunity to practice and demonstrate their skills in a supportive environment.

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.
