Olesen, MA Certified Psychodramatist is
a Trainer at Shanti in San Francisco,

Elizabeth's Hospital in 1993. Presently

Communicating effectively can be a key
to discovering rewarding work, having a
full social life and maintaining healthy
relationships. Yet sometimes it can be
almost impossible to speak up. The price
of holding our truth can be discomfort
and disease. This action-oriented
workshop will use extended warm-up,
empowerment exercises, play, Playback
Theater techniques and psychodrama to
focus strengths and channel group
support to face challenges and obstacles
to communication.
