Ritual
is used when it is helpful to hold a deep spiritual structure by offering a series of actions and processes in an acknowledged space to bring an interface between the spiritual and sense perceptible world.
Psychodrama
as developed by JL Moreno is implemented in using the nature of spontaneity, working with the ‘here and now ‘of the ‘there and then’ or the surplus reality of the future. Here role taking, using role reverse and doubling, to develop the work creatively in Karma Drama.

Philosophy
Grounded in Anthroposophy and the psychodramatic tradition, Karma Drama synthesizes thirty-five years of practice to work consciously with soul forces, biography, planets and the Christ impulse to transform unresolved karma. The course is informed by a variety of approaches to karma and past-life research. The ideas behind his work are grounded in Anthroposophy, a spiritual scientific approach to life founded by Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925). Karma Drama is a development of psychodrama and is under the auspices of United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy, UKCP. The course has developed out of the many courses Mike Chase has been running over the past 35 years. Karma Drama brings all of this together including working with the soul forces, temperaments, planets, zodiac, phasic development and biographical work. This work strives towards overcoming evil through working consciously with the Christ being. This can help overcome the epidemic of anxiety, depression, and a host of mental health conditions which have arisen due to the times in which we live.

Rudolf Steiner wrote this poem to Ita Wegman on his birthday. He gives her the name Mysa, which was her name during an incarnation he had with her in Ephesus.
To my Mysa
Hearts will sense
The meaning of karma
When hearts learn
To read the word
Creatively shaping human lives
When Hearts learn
To speak the word
That develops the human being
