Sharing Our Stories: Re-Opening Our Hearts
A Two-Day In-Person Workshop for Personal Growth and/or Professional Development At the end of life, all we can ask...Did I love well? - Jack Kornfield |
Each of us has experienced the freedom of an open heart: compassion, empathy, wisdom and peace. Although an open heart is our natural state, we often find ourselves with hearts closed, feeling fear, hurt or anger. Stories from our culture, histories and present-day events, may make re-opening the heart seem difficult, even impossible.
In this workshop, we will honor our stories. Through them, we will discover and share the intricacies of what supports and prevents us from opening our hearts. Practicing non-judgment and acceptance of ourselves and others, we find our authenticity, our connectedness to each other and to a universal life force. We draw from psychodrama, expressive arts and spiritual traditions to assist in our exploration and in finding our essence. We aim to find peace and equanimity along the way, thus contributing to creating a more peaceful world and a vision of what is possible.
What is Psychodrama? Psychodrama is an experiential method of exploring our private and public worlds in a multidimensional, creative way. It helps you to safely express feelings, develop insights and practice new, desired behaviors. Psychodrama meets you where you are in the present and assists you in contacting and developing the best that is within yourself. As a natural outgrowth, people experience a deeper connection and appreciation of others. Psychodrama emphasizes creativity and spontaneity rather than illness and pathology.
Who should attend? This workshop is appropriate for those new to psychodrama, as well as experienced practitioners; anyone wanting to further their knowledge of psychodrama; and those seeking personal growth. No acting skills are needed and participation is at your level of comfort. Shy people are welcome.
