Midwest Training Series

 

Energize your professional development with leading-edge skills in experiential modalities – while also taking the option to address your personal development.

 

The Midwest Training Series is designed for professionals — educators, group leaders, mental health professionals, physicians, nurses, attorneys, pastors, community leaders, community activists, human resource directors, professional presenters, creative entrepreneurs, theater professionals and others who know that “experiencing” offers deeper learning than “discussing.”

 

We will combine diverse action modalities —from classic psychodrama to the Therapeutic Spiral Model to storytelling and the creative arts to the new Systemic Family Constellation Work — to explore human change, creativity, leadership, group dynamics, community-building, experience as education and other professional disciplines.

 

Karen Carnabucci, MSS, LCSW, TEP, is the main faculty member and co-founder of the training program, now in its fourth year.

Participants who arrive from a distance may arrange appointments for private or group supervision sessions to supplement the group training sessions. Please ask Karen about this option.
