Let´s work together to safe the creation entrusted to us
We don’t know if we will receive again the olive branch but our doves are ready to raise their wings to fly.
Let´s work together to safe the creation entrusted to us
The series of workshops will be conducted by well-known international psychodrama conductors (FEPTO and IAGP members). They will explore the potential of psychodrama and expressive therapies in an online framework on the topic of dreams, myths and fairy tales. The opening session will explain guidelines and basic elements for psychodrama conductors and participants experiencing the online work on the Zoom platform.
The overall focus will be the online groupwork with Jungian, Analytical and Classical Psychodrama in different experiential ways– feelings, memories, dreams and reflections. The online work with psychodrama and mixed expressive therapies facilitates new resources and creative possibilities for the future when our arche has hopefully landed. The sharing and enactment processes become a point where the personal and the collective unconscious meet in a dynamic process.
The transpersonal matrix reflects in this process the present social fragmentation in the time of wars and autocratic regimes, but at the same time it can point out the way towards possible future encounters beyond the present violence.
We don’t know if we will receive again the olive branch but our doves are ready to raise their wings to fly.
