Weekend Psychodrama Therapy Group 2011

With Gary Smith MBACP (Accred)
Friday 18th November 6pm-8pm/Saturday 19th November 2011, 10am -5pm
Psychodrama is a creative action group therapy that can help individuals and groups explore the complexity of thought and emotions present within any life situation. Central to the approach is creativity and spontaneity of action, which can reveal aspects of ourselves we have been unaware of, help us to express ourselves more clearly and re-assess the focus and direction of our life. It is based on Jacob Moreno's Role Theory. By exploring actively, and embodying roles, psychodrama can help us expand our role repertoire thus creating the opportunity for more balance, personal fulfilment and the ability to form healthier relationships in our life.The symbolic language of dreams, a significant story or metaphor can be rich material to explore through these methods, as are objects and images.

Venue: Wellspring

Cost : £65 per weekend (£45 concession)

Contact Wellspring on 0131 553 6660 or e-mail: mail@wellspring-scotland.co.uk or Gary at commongroundarts@onetel.com

The Practice of Self-Compassion Workshop

Saturday 22 October, 2011, 10am to 4pm

With Mike Wilson

For centuries the wisdom traditions both East and West have emphasised the importance of self-compassion as the other side of, the more familiar, compassion toward other.

Through a series of exercises and explorations, balanced with appropriate theory, this day is an opportunity to explore what it means to be compassionate towards self. We will also consider obstacles to self-compassion, methods of over-coming these, as well as practical ways of carrying this forward into your own lives. There will also be an opportunity to consider the spiritual implications which self-compassion raises.

Venue: Wellspring, 0131 553 6660

Cost: £55 (non-returnable). Cheques payable to Wellspring Scotland Ltd.

Maximum places: 12
