I would like to invite you to develop a deeper understanding of dreams together. The dream as the “royal road to the subconscious”. The aim is to show ways of working with dreams individually, psychotherapeutically and in a supervisory capacity.

The used technique will be group work, associations, possibilities of interpretation and representation of dreams (personal dreams, patient dreams, therapist dreams, dreams in extreme situations, initial dreams, etc.). Dream types, dreams in history, art and cultures are included. Also the meaning, function and handling of dreams according to Freud, Jung, Hobson and others. The intention is to become aware of the meaningfulness of this world again or anew and to use it as an opportunity for insight for oneself and in contact with others. (German/English)

The workshop for coping with Ambiguous Loss, Frozen Grief, and Reanimation of life among families of missing and abducted persons and the community.

The workshop will focus on understanding ambiguous loss, dealing with frozen grief, and developing tools for reanimation of life. Using psychodramatic techniques, to express and process emotions, group discussions and joint exercises to strengthen mutual support. The vagus nerve and the mind-body effect are addressed in creating resilience. Also using creative tools such as writing, drawing, role-playing and narrative approaches to express emotions and aspirations.

This workshop combines sociometry, psychodrama, and artistic techniques to explore emotional and relational dynamics in a group. Participants will engage in sociometric mapping to understand group connections. Psychodramatic exercises help process conflicts through action. Artistic expression deepens emotional insight and offers practical tools for growth. The approach fosters new perspectives for personal and collective understanding.

The Theatre of Spontaneity is the origin of what Jacobo L. Moreno later developed until it reached the Psychodrama itself. In both approaches there are three classic moments: 1- Warming up; 2-Psychodramatic moment; 3- Sharing. We will use psychodramatic techniques to express and process emotions. Participants will have the opportunity to experience in a hands-on way what is related to the use of psychodramatic techniques (like doubling, role exchange, mirroring, soliloquy, etc.) and its powerful impact by using the three dimensions of space to expose intrapsychic conflicts.

Method: The Theatre of the Oppressed is a form of social theatre created by Augusto Boal in Brazil in the 1960s: the main purpose is to reach a shared reflection on issues related to conflict and the relationship with internal and external objects. The Theatre of the Oppressed uses theatrical representation to expand, increase and transform intrapersonal, interpersonal and social experience.

Objectives: What we aim for is not so much to give an answer to an apparently unsolvable problem, but rather to discover together the many possible answers and to establish a comparison, an exchange and start asking questions. In this perspective, participants take on multiple roles: actor, spectator, observed, observer, active, passive, with the possibility of experiencing multiple perspectives on the external world and the internal world.
