ABSTRACT:
The workshop will be based on Hanna Kende child psychodrama. In the child psychodrama groups the participants will work on their own self-healing abilities. In the groups you will experience the power of community, belonging and acceptance.
The community experience also develops social skills and helps us find our place in the world. Fictional stories use imagination to transport participants into a pretend world, where they develop through their role choices from occasion to occasion.
Our groups provide a model for a well-functioning community and we also experience that the model is carried forward by participants into their own communities.
In the workshop we will explore how events in the outside world influence stories, how issues affecting society enter the intimate space of the group and how honest and creative solutions to war, pandemic, climate crisis are generated. We also explore how participants in our groups process these events.
