Psychodrama is the soul in action. The soul in action gives birth to spontaneity and creativity through an encounter with the self, others and the world. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">In this workshop we will use these roots of psychodrama to invite participants to explore their personal relationship with the love story of Psyche and Eros. This story brings out many themes: the overriding power of love; being rescued by someone who loves you; a man not revealing himself to the woman he loves; abusive relationships; the power of a mother over her son; a father abandoning his daughter; the misuse of belief systems to justify wrongdoing; your way of dealing with authority; loneliness; secrecy; mistrust in a relationship; feeling betrayed, abandoned and heartbroken; the aging woman losing her power to a younger beauty; envy; bad-mouthing others; fear of losing your child; accidentally injuring another; overcoming hurdles; revelation and enlightenment; a woman’s power of self-defence; receiving help; mercy; transformation; birth and new beginnings. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></div><p style="margin:0cm 0cm 12pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",serif;font-size:12pt;border:none;text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"> Following psychodramatic action and personal sharing, the workshop will look towards the future. The workshop will conclude with an action-based reflection on how psychodrama and sociodrama can be used as agents for change and transformation in our own lives, in the wider family, professional and local communities in which we live, and at the wider societal level at this time of ecological challenge and political uncertainty.</span></p><div style="margin:0cm;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",serif;font-size:12pt;border:none;text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">The link to book this workshop:</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:blue"> </span><span style="color:blue;text-decoration-line:underline"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><a href="https://www.psychodrama.org.uk/product/psychodrama-the-soul-in-action/" target="_blank">PSYCHODRAMA: THE SOUL IN ACTION </a></span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:blue"><u></u> <u></u></span></div><div style="margin:0cm;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",serif;font-size:12pt;border:none;text-align:justify"><br></div><div style="margin:0cm;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",serif;font-size:12pt;border:none;text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></div><div style="margin:0cm;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",serif;font-size:12pt;border:none;text-align:justify"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(251,0,7)">WITNESSING OUR ATTITUDE TOWARDS THE WORLD THROUGH ROLE PLAY: BEING ABLE TO WATCH OURSELVES IN PERFORMANCE (THE OBSERVER IS OBSERVED)</span></b><b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(251,0,7)"><u></u> <u></u></span></b></div><div style="margin:0cm;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",serif;font-size:12pt;border:none;text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Friday 17th September 2021, 10am - 12:30pm (BST)</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></div><div style="margin:0cm;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",serif;font-size:12pt;border:none;text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></div><div style="margin:0cm;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",serif;font-size:12pt;border:none;text-align:justify"><u><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Presented by T.T.

This was his way of wanting to rehabilitate those needing mental strength and networks which he called 'roles', which sometimes we take on with awareness and sometimes without. The more aware, he emphasized, we are of the roles we take on, the effectiveness in execution of the role would be better. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">To be able to know the role we take on, act out, the impact we create on those who experience us in the role and our ability to make the roles we take on functional, requires that we 'step' out of the role even as we are involved in 'acting' or playing it out, watch ourselves from a distance and see the role in its full form. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></div><p style="margin:0cm 0cm 12pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",serif;font-size:12pt;border:none;text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"> This concept of being in role yet being able to objectively view it simultaneously was very widely practiced in Indian folklore, where characters in role, time and again paused to examine the roles they were playing and comprehend its impact on those they were in contact with. The Sanskrit (probably one of the oldest languages in the world) term for this is <i>'Sakshi bhava’ </i>which means, to have a witnessing attitude to the world, developed by practising awareness within oneself. <i>Sakshi Bhava </i>is a powerful meditative technique which also aids internal healing. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Over a two-and-half hour workshop each of us will have the opportunity to attempt such a process 'of seeing ourselves from the outside', helping us delve a little deeper into our being. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><div style="margin:0cm;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",serif;font-size:12pt;border:none;text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">The link to book this workshop: </span><span style="color:blue;text-decoration-line:underline"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><a href="https://www.psychodrama.org.uk/product/witnessing-our-attitude-towards-the-world-through-role-play-being-able-to-watch-ourselves-in-performance/" target="_blank">WITNESSING OUR ATTITUDE TOWARDS THE WORLD THROUGH ROLE PLAY: BEING ABLE TO WATCH OURSELVES IN PERFORMANCE (THE OBSERVER IS OBSERVED)</a></span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></div><div style="margin:0cm;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",serif;font-size:12pt;border:none;text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><u></u> </span></div><div style="margin:0cm;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",serif;font-size:12pt;border:none;text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></div><div style="margin:0cm;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",serif;font-size:12pt;border:none;text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></div><div style="margin:0cm;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",serif;font-size:12pt;border:none;text-align:justify"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(251,2,7)">RESEARCH IN PSYCHODRAMA PSYCHOTHERAPY - HOW CAN PRACTITIONERS CONTRIBUTE?</span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(251,2,7)"><u></u> <u></u></span></div><div style="margin:0cm;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",serif;font-size:12pt;border:none;text-align:justify"><u><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Monday 20th September 2021, 6pm - 7:30pm (BST)</span></u><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></div><div style="margin:0cm;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",serif;font-size:12pt;border:none;text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></div><div style="margin:0cm;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",serif;font-size:12pt;border:none;text-align:justify"><u><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Presented by HANNES KRALL & ANNA CRUZ</span></u><u><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></u></div><div style="margin:0cm;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",serif;font-size:12pt;border:none;text-align:justify"><br></div><div style="margin:0cm;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",serif;font-size:12pt;border:none;text-align:justify"><b><u><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Joh</span></u></b><b><u><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">annes Krall</span></u></b><b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">, </span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">ao.

Research is not only an individual endeavour, but also as an essential part of a professional culture, which must be fostered in training and practice. Therefore, psychodrama needs psychodrama psychotherapists, trainers and trainees who are interested in sharing about their practices and to engage as research practitioners in a collaborative research network. Apart from being a psychodrama director, the role as a researcher must be developed and fostered.
