ABSTRACT:
Appreciating another’s point of view, recognising the power of the group, loving and valuing someone for who they are – I call the art of being human. However this is easier said than done as we all live in systems that have patterns of functioning that can work against us achieving this.
This workshop will be conducted as a sociodrama working with Moreno’s vision of a “social” or “creative” revolution in which people are able to respond in new and novel ways, and to reverse roles with other people.
Together we will explore a particular system, uncover the social forces at play, identify interconnections and interdependencies and distinguish what works against or towards participants living in the system to practice the art of being human.
This session will enable participants to appreciate what is possible when all players in the system are engaged in a group process.
