Hi, my name is Don welcome to my Home Page.
This page is the entrance way to my writing place.
The site is primarily to put forward my ideas and experience in working with people individually and within groups.
The methodologies I draw on to inform my thinking and guide my work are predominantly those of Dr Jacob Moreno who was an existentialist thinker, dreamer and activist who lived from 1889 to 1974. Living still in the people who are inspired by his commitment to discover and reveal ways to freedom for each person and community. He advocated spontaneity creativity and a brand of meeting where people encounter by fully entering each others subjective experience. His techniques arise from his discoveries in spontaneity development. They rely on first gaining trust in the universe and the people who are our immediate universe or social atom. Then by being assisted to deepen our awareness of our inner experince (subjectivities) and trusting ourselves we move towards living openly. Assisted to be able to see ourselves (objectivities) in our world of people we move to wards living with realities. Then assisted to enter the experience of others and inviting them toenter our experience (mutualities) we we move to be vitally alive in the moment with reciprocity.
Morenian constructs that lay out an appreciation of what it is to be human.
They inform and promote “a potent art” for health through spontaneity-creativity-action.
(“A Potent Art”: the phrase is from from Shakespeare’s Tempest)
