Calling all clinicians! We’re wrapping up our Role Method CE training series with a full day, IN PERSON training, this Sunday, Dec 7th in NYC!
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

If you’ve been craving a space to learn in a playful and curious manner, and keep your clinical tools sharp, we’d love to have you at our upcoming in-person intensive:

EMBODIMENT: Role Sort in Practice
Sunday, Dec 7 • 10am–6pm • NYC (7 CEs)

What we’ll dive into (playfully AND clinically):

🎭 Embodied Role Sort practice — exploring roles through movement, voice, gesture, and imagination
🤹 Role training + improvisation-based interventions
🧩 Identifying stuck roles and experimenting with shifts
👥 Relational field explorations — that dynamic space between us and our client
📚 A personalized case study from your practice using embodied inquiry and creative assessment.

Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or newly role-curious, this day offers space to:

✨ reignite your creativity and spontaneity in the clinical realm
✨ reconnect with your clinical identity : stuck points and strengths alike
✨ Learn a variety of creative interventions to help foster clinical insight, assess dynamics and aid in case conceptualization and treatment planning
✨ embody new and intuitive tools that best grow through practice
✨ play and collaborate with a supportive community

Take it from one of our recent (DT) trainees:

“Hollis and Isabel are so warm, so inviting, so knowledgeable, and create an environment conducive to learning as well as FUN, an all too often missing ingredient in professional settings. Would absolutely recommend to the seasoned drama therapist or those just dipping their toes in this world”

As a two women run business, we are so very grateful for each and every person who crosses our threshold and trusts us to care for, train, and usher them through a creative experience. We don’t count the hours we work on this project we are so passionate about, but rather the positive feedback from those who have been a part of one of our offerings. We believe deeply in the power of creativity, drama therapy, nature, and community to help elevate the world and those in it. This is our fuel, and as we come toward the darkest part of the year, it is an invitation to go inward and harvest what has been brewing for the past seasons, and plant the seeds for the next. Stay tuned this Saturday for for some special offers for our nearest and dearest (that’s you!)❤️~Hollis & Isabel
