Well......are you going to come over here or must I travel over there? I have been srtuct recently by just how much of our methods and practices are actually in the oral tradition. I remember Jonothan Fox looking at playback as oral tradition and I think we are also. Only the barest bones get captured by the writing. And much of the writing leaves out the oral parts and goes for the academic parts. Anyway, there is still time to add to the body of writing.</div><div><br></div><div>Your writing also strikes me as you trying to find meaningful and different ways to express what it is you are doing.

L. Moreno, a psychiatrist and contemporary of Freud, Jung, and Adler, and his wife and collaborator, Zerka Toeman Moreno. Zerka is now 91 and continues to teach and train students from around the world 34 years after J.L.’s death.

An aspect of Ed’s work is to translate the psychodramatic method into practices and formulas and to extend these as tools for what J. L. Moreno called “sociatry,” the healing of society. <br> Psychodrama taps into the creative vitality, that vastness of life within us and within groups. Psychodrama for Transformation is a way to access this healing source, to experience the very heart and essence of this extraordinary method. We awaken the autonomous healing center within us, and that same power emerges within groups.</font></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 8.0px 21.0px; line-height: 19.0px"><font face="Times New Roman" size="5" style="font: 16.0px Times New Roman">Psychodrama for Transformation offers tools to enable us to live life more fully, offering a way to see and to be with greater clarity, authenticity, and presence. We are living in a world calling us to respond to the tremendous changes around and within us. Individuals are like cells and groups are like organs within the body of humanity. We are part of an ecological system; understanding the nature of this system is the beginning of changing it.</font></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 8.0px 21.0px; line-height: 19.0px"><font face="Times New Roman" size="5" style="font: 16.0px Times New Roman">Psychodrama and its parts – sociodrama, sociometry, and sociatry – are tools to understand, experience, and integrate this creative force manifesting within us, in groups, and in our world. We can heal the past, address the present, and prepare for the future. This workshop is appropriate for both personal growth and professional development.
