The 'MATTERS OF THE HEART' SUNDAY SERIES, directed by psychodrama and Tele'Drama practitioners and trainers, Jaye Moyer (United States) and Cristina Hockl (Germany), offers the opportunity to be part of small, supportive groups engaged in a fully experiential personal growth and self-discovery process.

Participants will explore ways to honor the heart through its many lenses: the Sorrows, the Joys, the Difficult, and the Ease. Drawing on our personal experiences, we will utilize experiential learning to foster presence, personal discovery, and resilience.

Together, we will explore what, who, and where supports and uplifts the heart.

This series is appropriate for psychotherapists, social workers, teachers, students, retirees, and professionals in the helping fields who wish to deepen their self-awareness and develop their capacity to support others.

Each month we will explore a different theme:
April 27, 2025: ATTENDING AND BEFRIENDING – 'MATTERS OF THE HEART' SUNDAY SERIES

We have a lifetime of turning away from the difficult. What supports us in turning toward the difficult?

“Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.”
— Rainer Maria Rilke
