DAY 3 : Leticia Nieto — Put Your Roots Down: A Psychodrama Workshop
One of the main ways we come to know ourselves and each other is through stories of our origin. We will explore narrative approaches to spontaneity and engagement. Through gesture, movement, sound, and enactment we will explore moments of high resilience and post-traumatic growth. We will work to foster demonstrated capacity, cultural humility, deep listening, and authentic voice. We will focus on identifying patterns of belonging, separation, and integration. This work is based on the Beyond Inclusion, Beyond Empowerment models, described in Dr. Nieto’s book. These are tools for analysis of the dynamics of oppression and supremacy and offer ways to develop skills to promote social justice.
