He is a former Professor of English Literature, and now facilitates writing and story-telling workshops and writing retreats. Dorian is passionate about developing innate creativity and imagination. He believes in the power of stories and images to create new realities. The Magic of Storytelling workshop is about entering the world of story to recover our creativity, zest, energy and passion and allowing our imagination to lead us. We will explore how attention to life stories and fiction, so rich in image, symbol and rhythm, can connect us meaningfully to others, rekindle joy, help us heal and create a more abundant life. Come and discover how easily your story becomes your passport to meaningful social interactions. Date: Mon 24 May 2010 Time: 19.00 - 21.00 Venue: JMD Psychological Consulting 79 Third Street, Linden.

Participating in a group or workshop provides
you with a chance explore your current
difficulties and then test your new insights and
life skills through weekly interaction with 4-12
people in a safe facilitated environment.
Depending on the topic of the groups /
workshops, some are completed in one day,
some run once a week for 3-4 weeks while
others take 8-10 weeks to complete. The
duration of each session varies from 2-3 hours
for longer groups, to 4-8 hours for one or
two-day workshops.
All groups start with an exploratory session, in
which we give an outline, get to know each
other a bit, and discuss the topic of the group.
After that session you can consider whether you
think the group might be helpful for you, and
then decide whether you would like to sign on
for the rest of the course.
As the cost of a group session is shared among
all the participants, it provides a relatively
inexpensive way of exploring your concerns and
difficulties. If the group / workshop content is
therapeutic it is usually possible to reclaim the
expense from your medical aid.
Group therapy is especially beneficial in dealing
with problems related to shyness, limited social
skills, lack of confidence, communication
difficulties, poor self-esteem, and most forms of
social phobia, and will provide you with the
opportunity to practise your new learning
without fear of judgment or ridicule during a
course. It is often beneficial to attend a group
with your life-partner, as you get a chance to
see each other in a new light, since it opens the
possibility of revitalised communication and
exploration of each other.
Group sessions are arranged on request, and
run when the required number of participants
have signed up. Session dates and times will be
scheduled to suit participants as far as possible.
