OUR HEALING
TOOLS What is Psychodrama? Psychodrama
employs guided dramatic action to examine problems or issues experienced
by individuals or groups. It explores allows for the exploration of the
challenges, issues, concerns, dreams and highest aspirations of individuals, groups, systems and organizations. Action
methods are used to enable past, present and future life events to be explored. Issues
or problems and their possible solutions are enacted rather than just talked about. Psychodrama
offers the opportunity to practice new roles safely, see oneself from the outside
in order to gain insight and meaningful change. It is mostly used as a group
work method, in which each person in the group can become a therapeutic agent for other members. Developed by Jacob L. Moreno, psychodrama has strong elements of theatre
and encourages the use of improvisation and props to enhance the therapeutic process.
What is Playback
Theatre?
Playback Theatre is unique improvisational theatre
technique that breaks down the barrier between group participants. It is created spontaneously through collaboration between
storytellers and group members resulting in a unique experience not possible in conventional treatment. Participants tell
stories from their lives and group members play the story back using movement, drama, and music.
What is Sociodrama?
Sociodrama
is a an action method that allows participants to assume and dramatize a variety of roles, usually focusing on problems and
conflicts arising in group situations. It is a way of simulating what
happens in life in order to: explore social issues; develop greater understanding between groups and individuals; problem-solve
and make decisions; experiment and try out new options; rehearse new roles and strategies and predict outcomes. Sociodrama
allows participants to experience and learn from the process of social learning in a group.

"A Choice To Heal, A Chance To Grow"
What
is a Griot (Gree-0)? A Griot or Jeli
is a West African poet, storyteller, praise singer, and wandering musician, who is considered a repository of oral tradition. In African tradition, the griot maintains the history of the culture and/or
family and passes it down from generation to generation. The Griots' Healing Circle creates a sacred
space where every member can embody the spirit of the griot by sharing their stories of challenge and triumph. In this
sharing, transformation can take place and healing can begin.
You
are a historian.....; You are the griot of your own life….
