Our Journal, Your views

Dear MPS Member,

I am writing via this Blog, with my hat of Content Editor of our e-Journal, The Mirror firmly on.

The MPS committee along with the editorial team would value your opinion of the journal, its content and layout and ease of receiving and reading. 

The reason I am asking this is because we discussed the journal at the first MPS committee meeting this year, making a decision to find out what you all think of the journal, especially in light of the forthcoming publication of the third edition (8 April 2015).

Your response is integral to development and maintenance of The Mirror, and the mirroring we hope to receive from you will aid both the development of the The Mirror and our community, here and worldwide.  May it continue to flourish with your assistance!

I can be contacted via the MPS email address at:

MorenoSociety@netspace.net.au

Thank you,
Sue

“Connecting Within” - a one-day Psychodrama Workshop, Saturday, 21 March 2015

The Psychodrama Institute of Melbourne presents

“Connecting Within”

Saturday 21 March 2015, 10am to 5.30pm.

Director: Sharni Page-Cameron

"...Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. 
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? 
Actually, who are you not to be?"  

Marianne Williamson

As an artist you need to be connected within yourself in order to offer yourself and your talents to people who require your skills but don’t necessarily know what is to do what you do.  This experiential workshop will also assist artists to connect with others in corporate, educational or other environments using the spontaneity principles of Psychodrama, such as warm up, setting the scene and role reversal.  This is a workshop to foster personal and professional growth in a group setting for performing artists of all kinds, visual artists, or those who use their artistic skills for their profession, public speakers, those preparing for interviews or auditions, those who are leaders or want to be and those in training.  Bring something for lunch to share.

Fee: $250.00 ($220.00 MPS members)

Application form and deposit of $50 or the full payment is now due.

Venue: Psychodrama Institute of Melbourne, 1/10-12 Adolph St, Cremorne
