The Moreno Collegium

This experiential psychodrama development weekend is designed to have participants embed a positive and caring relationship with themselves along with the capacity to access life and the joy of living and a love of life, for all time. This is a bold consideration and is really akin to a spiritual path or the taking of a sacred oath. For those who have been working away on themselves throughout 2008 this is a consistent next step. For someone interested in experiencing the method lets see if this is what will suit you in your currnt life.

Embedding life 

Embedding life is a way of saying "Grasping it with both hands".  For some people this will look more like relaxing and letting go. For others it will be a relaxing of their willpower and a reinforcing of their vitality and movement towards life. For others it might look a bit like developing discipline. For others it iwll be about cutting through some Gordian knots.

Relationship with life 

Each person has their own relationship with life and the psychodramatic method seeks to work in concert with that relationship. The psychodramatic method seeks to build up an individual's spontaneity so that they can create new things, relationships, approaches, feelings, knowledge, wisdom in their lives. As the weekend unfolds you can expect to find hitherto unknown or hidden aspects of your being. You will likely be surprised to discover that this is not as frightening as you may have previously imagined. This will cause you to really appreciate abilities which had long been ignored or forgotten. You will find the ability to integrate roles which had previously been expressed in a fragmented form. This expansion process leads to a greater appreciation of life and a larger vision of your future.

Creating a new conserve

Psychodrama is a revolutionary process. It is revolutionary because it expands our current conserve and way of seeing ourselves. This expansion is brought about in a simple fashion. It is brought about through the application of spontaneity to areas of interest and concern. Spontaneity is the energy required to bring creativity into life. When creativity is flowing then our conserves, or old ideas, are updated, renewed and freed up.

A technology of freedom

Psychodrama encourages freedom by this process of loosening up old conserves and self related ideas. Once old conserves are loosened up then a person can take stock of their lives in a new and different fashion. They can decide to make changes or they can make changes there and then. These changes can be effectuated through role training or other form of practice in the group.

Adequate safety means room to experiment

This method of working with a group places emphasis on the development of easy, authentic and enjoyable relationships in the group. There is an emphasis on appropriate levels of safety and this enables an easy camaraderie to develop. Group members will be encouraged to step beyond the familiar, the tired and the old ways. The psychodrama process is a considered process. Sometimes the emphasis is on thoughts. Sometimes the emphasis is on feelings. Sometimes the emphasis is on actions. Sometimes it is on making sense of the context. Most often it is focusing on one of these areas being out of whack!
