What we do

Kaya Kade, LPC, CDMS, TEP runs an intensive five-day training in Alaska. The training focus is sociometry and psychodrama. Sociometry is the study of the underlying connections within a group. A group facilitator is responsible for the equal sharing of the positive connections [sociometry] within a group. Psychodrama is the technique used to facilitate compassionate sharing of the sociometric wealth within a group.  Psychodrama places upon a stage the internal process of the protagonist allowing deep cathartic understanding and facilitating a new creative/spontaneous  way of interacting with the world.  Allowing one to increase one's own positive sociometric choices in the world.

Kaya Kade and Georgia Rigg were the 2017 Collaborator's Award Recipients from the American Society of Group Psychotherapy and Psychodrama.

Our History
The first residential psychodrama training occurred in Homer in May 2006. Since that time there have been trainings in the spring and fall. Many people have been attending since the beginning. Every year new people bring new insights and new perspectives and the group has evolved into an inclusive, healing, and learning environment.
