Healing the Father Wound: Drama Therapy and the Dharma

September 8, 2018 @ 9:30 am - 5:30 pm

Open to male-identified participants

with Melvin Escobar and Armand Volkas

Many of us come to the practice of meditation to undo karmic knots – traumas that build up in our bodies, minds, and hearts throughout our lives. The father wound is a major kind of karmic knot that, when addressed, can help us heal individual and collective wounds. The day will include a Dharma talk, meditation, gentle movement and drama therapy techniques (including improvisation, acting, psychodrama and Playback Theatre) to help us connect to our own nature and needs as men on a spiritual path. No previous experience in theater needed – shy people are welcome!
