18th International Congress of Group Psychotherapy and Group Processes
 

     The IAGP's next international conference will be held in Colombia and will offer a unique possibility to get in touch with the most recent developments in group psychotherapy and group processes. It will focus especially on the topic of social transformation, putting emphasis on the vision of J.L. Moreno, S. Foulkes and K. Levin, to apply our competences also on the scale of social or collective groups. We invite all of you: researchers, educators, psychotherapists, students and other professionals from around the world and across borders to come together, to learn from each other and to hopefully grow in our professional and human dimensions.

Theatre of Spontaneity, Sunday 24 June with Daniel James

Waxing Lyrical!

A word can change the world.       

Words are art, even more-so with the accompaniment of music. The combination of the beautiful (or beautifully ugly) words and the beautiful (or beautifully ugly) music can create an emotional experience within each individual. We sway, thrash, dance, hum, scream along.

We take meaning, often very personal and subjective (but never wrong) from what we hear. Such an encounter cannot help but change us, regardless of desire for change or otherwise.

The wonder of the lyrical encounter can be a source of inspiration capable of giving the gifts of laughter, tears and anything betwixt.

This session aims to explore the impact of lyrics to songs on all who arrive, on culture and on sub culture. Come with your favourites or sup on those provided (spontaneity in action) and explore what dwells within the magic of lyric and the magic of our responses to lyric.

Lets experience beautiful lyrics together.

Gather together for a cup of tea or coffee from 6 p.m for a 6.30 p.m sharp start

$20.00 ($15.00 MPS Members) SUPPER provided!
RSVP for catering purposes by Friday 22 June to Gavin O'Loughin 0403 597 685
