About Boots and All

This men’s residential psychodrama weekend will consist of a number of  group sessions with plenty of time for fun. Come along prepared to  participate fully and to engage with yourself and others. Through using the psychodrama method, you can begin to understand what the underlying issues are in a situation or with a person. Find out what you really want and learn how to work with others to achieve your goals. ‘Learn ‘to be useful, to be responsible, to be compassionate, to matter, to count, to stand for something, to make some difference’ (Leo Rosten).

About Psychodrama

Psychodrama is a tool for professional and personal growth. In psychodrama the drama of life is enacted, as both a rehearsal and a preparation for living the kind of life you want to live. Experiencing psychodrama offers possibilities for change and human evolution, for individuals, groups and society. Men at all levels of experience of psychodrama will benefit from participation in this workshop. You don’t have to have any experience of psychodrama to benefit.

Psychodrama is a creative, action-oriented, process through which we can go beyond problem-solving, beyond personal insight, to profoundly understand the complexities of our life, because it is based upon the essential truth that we are part of an inter-connected tapestry of many lives.

Psychodrama is a form of group work that integrates imagination and action,and a philosophy that can greatly enhance a person’s ability to manage or bring about desired change.
