This year, the Academy unfolded with a shared invitation: to co-create a piece of community art rooted in presence, imagination, and collective trust. It was not just an act of creation—it was a gesture of connection, where expression met silence, movement met stillness, and personal stories found resonance in a larger whole.

At the heart of the 6th Psychodrama Academy, we came together not only as practitioners but as fellow humans—each carrying rhythms, questions, and emotions that longed to intertwine. In this shared field, we offered more than techniques—we offered ourselves.
The spirit of the Atatürk Arboretum, with its silent wisdom and harmonious diversity, gently guided the frame of our Large Group process. Much like the trees standing side by side, we too stood rooted in our differences, growing into a collective presence that was grounded and alive.
The Large Group training was designed and facilitated by Artmonia, with Menekşe Onbaşı guiding the process as facilitator. This shared experience invited participants into a ritual of expression, grounding, and co-creation—where everyone contributed to a living piece of community art.
In that space, we were reminded that when openness meets intention, we bloom. Every breath, every movement, every pause contributed to an unfolding that was deeply human. The art we created was not only seen but felt. It was layered with grief and joy, with laughter and longing—echoing the complexity and beauty of being together.
This experience spoke of how creation can be a ritual, how a group can become a living artwork, and how healing begins in moments of deep connection. The melodies, the gestures, the captured images—all became echoes of something larger than ourselves. Something we can carry forward.
We bloomed—together.
And the invitation continues.
