- Human Psychology
Using the ‘Live Guided Role Play’ (Theatre of Life) technique we make
people represent each other’s character, step out of their story, and
objectively see facts of any situation from other person’s perspective.
What is Theatre of Life?
What is Theatre of Life?
• This modality was founded by German Psychotherapist Bert Hellinger. It is popular in Europe and US but relatively new in India. It is popularly called the ‘Systemic Constellation Therapy’
• The workshop is conducted like a live theatre, where people play out different characters without prior script or rehearsal. Phenomenology and telepathy are used as key tools.
• The live performance cuts down pre-judgements regarding an issue and gives deep insight into a situation which can be related to people issue, business strategies, processes or any other hidden dynamics causing the issue.
• The facilitator also uses NLP to decode body language and movements of the participants.
• It can be practiced as an individual or a group therapy. It is most effective when done in groups.
In this modality the facilitator works through different Logical Levels of a person, business or organization functions.

Phenomenology: is study of what ‘is’. It is study of structures of experience. It is study of
‘phenomena’ the way things appear in our experience and thus what meaning do they
have. Basically, phenomenology studies the structure of various types of experience
ranging from perception, thought, memory, imagination, emotion, desire, and volition to
bodily awareness, embodied action, and social activity, including linguistic activity.
Telepathy (from the Greek τῆλε, tele meaning "distant" and πάθος, pathos or -patheia
meaning "feeling, perception, passion, affliction, experience") is the purported transmission
of information from one person to another without using any of our known sensory
channels or physical interaction.
