An advanced professional certification program designed for individuals with prior training or experience in psychodrama, sociodrama, sociometry, or other action methods. This program supports practitioners in deepening and expanding their competency by integrating mindfulness practices and core teachings of Buddhist psychology into their work with individuals, groups, and communities.This 10-session experiential training equips professionals with practical tools for applying mindful role exploration, relational mapping, and action-based interventions with clients, while also supporting their own personal insight and professional embodiment of these methods.

Buddhist psychology offers a rich and complementary resource for experiential practitioners. Rooted in direct experience, embodied presence, and the fluidity of identity, its teachings align naturally with action methods that explore roles, relational dynamics, and the here-and-now. Core practices such as mindfulness support a moment-to-moment, non-judgmental, and non-self-referential posture of caring attention—encouraging therapists to relate to each moment with as much clarity, compassion, and equanimity as is available. Whether in warm-up, enactment, or integration, these principles foster emotional steadiness, relational attunement, and ethical awareness. This program invites practitioners to explore Buddhist psychology not as a doctrine, but as a living, experiential framework that gently deepens presence and enriches the therapeutic encounter.For Registration and Payment please click the button below:
