The Training Group.
For the past six years Nina & Dale have been offering a training group via Zoom that meets six weekends from September to May. Trainings hours are on Friday from 7 to 10 PM EST and Saturday 930 AM to 530 PM. The group is limited to twelve members. Nina & Dale offer on-going closed training groups so that greater safety and higher cohesion can be created among the training group members and deeper work can occur.
Participants have the opportunity to direct one psychodrama session (commensurate with their level of training and experience) and to be a protagonist at least once during each training year.
Psychodrama modules are two hours long and include, warm-up, action and sharing. Each session is followed by thirty minutes of processing.
If you prefer you may pay for the training year in advance and receive a $100 discount. Instead of paying $1.650, you will pay the reduced rate of $1,550.
$275 (if paid per session)

Who Attends
Usually there is a wide range of psychodrama training and experience from those in the beginning stages of training to seasoned certified psychodramatists with decades of experience.
Who Joins:
Persons who join the group are: people who wish for a home-group with eager and willing trainers, group members and skilled auxiliary egos, ensuring a safe place for support and to do one’s own interior work. It is also a supportive, non-judgmental learning environment for those who are curious about psychodrama and how to do it; those who are midway in their psychodrama training and wish to experience other trainers and other perspectives. Further, it is a haven for seasoned psychodramatists who wish to rekindle and recharge their spontaneity and creativity.
