We are launching a newsletter and this is the first edition. We are welcoming short articles from any of you that are doing Transpersonal Drama Therapy out in the world.

Our upcoming schedule for the year is included below. For our former and present students we are offering discounts for bringing in new students to our first course, Principles in Drama Therapy, September 28 – October 7. We have designed two weekends and a week in between that allows our long distance learners to come once and allows people who are local who need to work or go to school during the week to do assignments at home online.

This course serves as an introduction to Drama Therapy. Key concepts are addressed and experienced as well as various approaches to Drama Therapy, such as: Omega Transpersonal Drama Therapy, Role Method & Theory, Developmental Transformations, Psychodrama/Sociodrama, Ritual Theater/Therapy, Narradrama, and Playback Theater. This training is designed to offer the beginning learner the history and body of knowledge in the field. Each approach is presented theoretically with specific attention to methodology and client populations. We will also experience principles about accessing the unconscious through Dreamwork, and work with Personal Myths. Students are expected to read Current Approaches In Drama Therapy* and will later facilitate various exercises using the different approaches in the field of drama therapy.
