The Deep Play Institute (DPI) presents Parts Practice: A Weekend Intensive of teaching and playing with the practices of Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Psychodrama. Both practices are a form of parts work, which means they aim to provide transformation by working with a non-singular self that is made up of various inner parts. Day one of our intensive will introduce participants to IFS – a somatic therapy system for differentiating between parts of self, mediating among them, and putting them into contact with curiosity and compassion. Day two will introduce participants to Psychodrama – an action method in which participants use spontaneous dramatization, role playing, and dramatic self-presentation to engage a situation or encounter. Our hope is that not only will participants leave with practical skills from these two practices, but that participants will carry forward the open-heartedness and creativity that these practices help to cultivate.
The Deep Play Institute is a nonprofit organization committed to exploring life’s deepest questions through transformative play. DPI’s facilitators – therapists, artists, coaches, and philosophers – aim to use play to bring people into an experiential questioning of what it means to exist. Each program that DPI runs is a unique container, creatively constructed and inspired by practices that include: Gestalt therapy, Process Work, Psychodrama, Internal Family Systems Therapy, Tavistock Group Relations, Relational Psychoanalysis, Authentic Relating, Nonviolent Communication, Circling, coaching, performance art, contact improvisation, experimental theater, LARPs, surrealism, existential games, and various schools of meditation.
Covid Policy: Participants will be required to take an at-home antigen test the morning of the event, and arrive to the workshop with proof of a negative test. If any participant develops symptoms throughout the workshop they will need to re-test. A full refund will be given if participants get a negative test, and cannot attend the event the morning of. NOTE: if a participant gets Covid more than 10 days before the event, and they are still testing positive, then in line with CDC guidelines they will be able to attend the event, but with a mask.
Price: Price is tiered based on 3 income levels. Please see chart. Tier 1 $450 / Tier 2 $350 / Tier 3 $250 / BIPOC Tier 3.
Note: This weekend intensive is intended for participants who reside in Toronto. The Deep Play Institute is not able to provide accommodations for out-of-town participants. DPI is also not able to refund any travel or housing costs in the unlikely event of cancellation.
