Harnessing the Power of Legend, Story, Music,
& Narrative Ideas in Transforming Lives
Drama Therapy Workshop in Kinsale, Ireland
With Dr. Pam Dunne, Phd, RDT-BCT
July 7 to July 13, 2012
Through drama therapy and narrative practices, participants will be invited on a journey to explore pathways through myths and personal story. They will look at their preferred ideas about identity, beliefs, and choices, which lead to change and transformation. In honoring Irish culture and tradition, participants will have the opportunity to integrate some Celtic ideas of healing and balance with narrative ideas that they may find useful in their lives.
