We have built a SPACE. To reconnect with yourself, find your feet on the ground. A space for dramatherapy workshops. And other resonating journeys.

Come and reconnect to yourself, to the environment and to what is important to you. We use the arts and the environment to guide you on a journey of self discovery. The Space is also available for like minded practitioners to use.

I am excited to be bringing the last in the series of training workshops to Gauteng. It has been a wonderful experience taking the work to Port Alfred, Cape Town and Gqeberha. The feedback has been great but I have learned so much along the way. If you live in Gauteng, need CPD points, need your cup filled and want to learn some easily applicable embodied techniques then this workshop is for you. Anyone that works in the field of mental health is welcome.

Here is some feedback
"I was not sure what to expect, as this was my first exposure to this kind of training. The experience was the best training I had since starting my career. After all the years of doing therapy, I needed to reconnect with my body and with the medicine I need for healing so that I can show up in a different way for my clients."
Psychologist

"I had the opportunity to work through a wide range of experiential practices, to witness great facilitation of processes and to have some professional questions addressed"

The date has changed. Maybe that makes it possible for you to join me. There is a lift from Cape Town and a co-driver in Joburg. Don't say next time. Just do it now.

There is space for YOU to join me on this retreat. But don't take my word for it. These are the comments from participants that attended the retreat in March:

When asked what they would say to someone considering doing the retreat: "Do it - you will learn things about yourself, your heritage, other people, the world, God - beautiful and humbling things, encouraging things that bring hope - things you never thought you needed to hear, feel and know."

About the venue:

"It was very calming and peaceful. I could talk to trees. It was really grounding"

"The stillness, sunshine and fresh air were what I needed to regulate in this crazy season I'm in. I loved climbing the mountain and walking around the farm. Just sitting in the sun or shade and taking in the sights and sounds."

About the facilitation:

"Paula's facilitation was warm, insightful, so attuned, assertive with boundaries that were effectively measured. There was real connection and capacity to show care and understanding, yet also challenge and hold the group members accountable. Also, there appears to have been so much precise and excellent prep put into the sessions, yet as is the nature of expressive group work, Paula was extremely adaptable - always attuned to where the group was organically flowing."

One participant said:
"On day 1, I relished being in full participant mode. Not only did this give me insight into myself, but it also gave me insight into the experience of being a participant...something I believe everyone facilitating spaces of engagement needs to do every now and then."
and
"Bringing an awareness of how it feels to be the subject of the experience. Seeing what the feelings and challenges might be, and how it helps with understanding self and situations - before facilitating it with own students."
and
"The experience of being in a safe, supportive group, engaging in embodied expression and connection, is so healing for our nervous systems. In fact it left me feeling 'normal' ie what I should feel in a relationally connected community. I am aware of the many gaps in our modern society, but I was left with a sense of how I can personally shift some of those with a renewed connection to my body and spontaneous playful movement. Restored, whole and joyful was the enduring feeling after this weekend."

I am very excited to bring this workshop to Cape Town.
Some feedback from previous participants:
About day one: "It’s rare (and wonderful) to have the opportunity to just be a participant, and the number and variety of experiences meant that I felt like I got a lot of experience in a short space of time. "
About the workshop
"Definitely do it! Whether you are looking to have more embodied experiences yourself in a safe and held space, or looking to include embodiment in your normal scope of practice, this workshop will give you the tools! "

Space is limited. Contact me to book or find out more.
