Psychodrama Summer Camp

• Hutchinson Island, FL •

Unresolved childhood wounds and/or trauma result in pain and suffering in adulthood. Sometimes we feel awful and don’t know why. We may blame ourselves or others. We develop core beliefs that don’t serve us and that hamper our joy and zest for living. Our nervous system becomes unregulated or dysregulated. This workshop will offer techniques to assist clients in transforming their challenges and mobilizing their strengths. We invite you to participate in an intensive psychodrama and expressive arts training experience where you will have the opportunity to expand your own personal power while enjoying the profound support and connections of community. Simultaneously, you will increase your professional knowledge and skills in a structured and relaxing environment. Hutchinson Island Marriott Beach Resort and Marina, north of West Palm Beach, FL was chosen for its comfortable meeting space, and oceanfront recreational facilities.
