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.

About the Group Leaders

"I embarked on my own personal development work when I was a young man
struggling to be a good father to my children. I found psychodrama to be a
powerful tool for my own personal growth and started training in the method in
the early 90's. At the about same time I joined my first men's group, which I
found valuable for redefining my thoughts feelings and roles, as a man."
