Psychodrama & Shadow Work Processing · California Foothills Masterclass
Three days inside a 275,000-acre conservancy, off-grid, working the room from morning until the light goes. Psychodrama, gestalt, internal family systems, somatic, bioenergetics, and the parts of shadow work that actually move something.
What this room is for.
I run this weekend with Karen Strassman and Martin Lassoff. The three of us have spent decades inside this material and we trade off the room so the work stays alive. You will see how a facilitator reads the room in real time, how a process gets built on the fly, and what it looks like when the unconscious finally tells the truth in front of witnesses.
The cohort is small on purpose. Sixteen people, no audience, no spectators. Everyone gets seen and everyone takes a turn in the chair if they want one. Beginners are welcome and experienced practitioners are welcome. The work meets you where you are and then asks for one more honest sentence.
Meals are cooked on-site by Chef Loghan of Planted Cuisine. The land is wild and quiet and there is no cell service in most of it. That is a feature, not a problem.

Your facilitators.
Twenty-five years working across four continents in men's work, couples work, and process facilitation. I run the room with Karen and Martin, and I take the chair when the chair is mine to take.
My partner in life and in this work. Karen brings voice, body, and a precision with the unsaid thing that has shifted more rooms than I can count.
Decades inside this material, with a particular gift for the technical scaffolding of psychodrama and the moment a process needs to change direction. The room is steadier when Martin is in it.
Is this your room?
- Practitioners who want to learn how a process actually gets built and held
- Anyone who has done the reading and is ready to take their turn in the chair
- Couples doing this work together who want a shared container
- People who have circled this material for years and want a real cohort to do it with
- Anyone in acute clinical crisis. Get stable care first and come to this when you are ready
- Anyone looking for spectacle. This is a working room, not a performance
Before you reserve.
I have never done psychodrama or shadow work. Will I be lost?
No. We build the foundation in the first session and the room is designed to hold both new and experienced participants. You take a turn when you are ready, not before.
Is this clinical treatment?
No. This is experiential facilitation. It is not a substitute for therapy or psychiatric care. If you are currently working with a clinician, bring this weekend to them before you decide.
What is the food situation?
All meals on-site by Chef Loghan of Planted Cuisine. Plant-forward, regenerative, and dialed in. Let us know about allergies when you register and we will handle the rest.
How remote is the property?
Off-grid, inside a 275,000-acre nature conservancy. Limited cell service. We will send a detailed arrival packet with driving directions and what to bring two weeks before the event.
What is the refund policy?
Full refund up to 60 days before the start date. 50% refund between 60 and 30 days. Inside 30 days the seat is yours and we cannot refund, but you can transfer it to someone else with our approval.
April 30 – May 3, 2026. California, USA.
Take the seat. Or send the question. Either one moves something.
