Playing In Practice: a mixed gender therapy group

This trauma-informed therapy group integrates exercises and principles from improvisation and clowning (physical theater) with process-oriented group psychotherapy to deepen group members’ capacity to play, to be present, and to connect to themselves and to one another. Every group session begins with one improvisational, clowning, or other meditative exercise designed to heighten awareness, facilitate group development, and deepen exploration of current goals. Members will have the remainder of the group session to examine their emotions, roles, and relationship patterns as they occur here-and-now. This group meets in-person and takes a summer break.
