About the Workshop
This men's residential weekend will consist of structured group sessions framed
by ritual elements. There will be opportunities for you to:
build and maintain relationships with other men
increase your ability to relate to others and therefore communicate more
effectively
gain greater strength and confidence
increase your ability to be more creative in important areas in your life
be playful
One of the aims of psychodrama is to build community through people assisting
others to develop themselves.
At this psychodrama workshop the work of the group will be carried out in a
variety of ways including: taking up auxiliary roles, dramatic enactments, and
reflections. There is an emphasis on experiential learning, producing a
satisfying and integrating experience.

Group Leaders
Simon Jones: Simon Jones is a psychodramatist, counsellor and social worker. He
reflects; I embarked on my own personal development work when I was a young man
struggling to be a good father for my children. I found psychodrama to be a
powerful tool for my personal growth and therefore decided to start 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.

Simon Gurnsey: Simon Gurnsey is an advanced Psychodrama trainee, with over 20
years experience. He is a playback theatre actor, conductor, and trainer. He is
also the office coordinator for the Canterbury Men's Centre.
