| Introduction | Robert Birch, travels throughout North America leading high quality trainings and retreat programs that invite participants to take healthier, more imaginative risks in their lives and organizations. Robert earned his M.A. from the University of Victoria in the fields of Applied Theatre and Educational Psychology; a B.F.A. from Toronto’s Ryerson University and is a graduate of the International School of Playback Theatre in New York. During a rigorous eight-year apprenticeship in group process and psychodrama he researched and developed highly effective skills and tools to facilitate transformative programs that are informative, safe and highly effective. As a visionary social activist and educator he designs and facilitates a variety of cutting edge cultural-enhancement projects. As a creative consultant, Robert gently supports individual clients to evolve through self-limiting beliefs and chronic social patterns as a way to step more intimately and more authentically into the adventures of their life. How do we, as individuals, as communities, as nations, hide behind what we do best? |
