<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana>I have been doing this with Souldrama for 10 years now. The process of Souldrama is a transpersonal one that moves people through levels of growth and spiritual development so that they can access their spiritual intelligence. Each level builds up more love and connection within the group and more self love. One of the tools employed is psychodrama, and trainees must learn the methods of psychodrama and sociometry ( at least 200 hours). Morenos works are mentioned frequently. They also need 250 hours of Souldrama which for right now I teach. My trainees can use their own creativity within the structure of the stages of development such as art therapy, yoga, etc. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana>Souldrama has spread quickly throughout the world and has generated interest in the methods of psychodrama as many people want to access their spiritual intelligence.The process moves us through our rational and emotional intelligence and on to our spiritual intelligence while removing the blocks that keep us stuck. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana> I am off to Indonesia today to present Soiuldrama to the international conference of pastoral counselors in Indonesia for three days and then at the university there where they have invited all the trauma workers, health care workers and psychologists from the area to learn Souldrama. - over 500 to count now. I have put out many requests for help from our community as I do need people who will teach psychodrama to those interested in Souldrama. I developed it to give psychodrama structure and to offer a more gentle name for the process. I also need trainees to help teach this process. Blessings Connie</FONT></DIV>Connie Miller TEP, LPC.

I mean, I can't continuously listen to world famous musicians for all that long let along complex ideas. We have all spent way to long in our respective education systems and all this has done is have us develop a range of barely functional student roles when in didactic learning situations. Dramatic methods bring livliness into group learning settings. And lots more could be done - apart from the "Talk to the person next to you?". Most of us will be switched off after about 20 minutes of talk or putting effort into remaining switched on. </SPAN></SPAN></FONT></DIV>
