Gestalt Centre Belfast
2019 Workshop Programme
The Gestalt Centre Belfast is offering a programme of workshops over the next year. Some are aimed at those who already work as counsellors and psychotherapists (labelled CP), some are open workshops for anyone working with people (PP) or interested in personal development (PD). The facilitators are Gestalt psychotherapists and trainers. The programme aims:
- To address some of the recurring practice issues and concerns of therapists, counsellors and other helping professions, which have emerged during our work with trainees and supervisees over time.
- To provide a space to explore the many ways we become aware of ourselves and others – the sensory, physiological, intellectual, affective, imaginative, behavioural and relational.
- To work experientially, i.e., the participants’ experience will contribute to shaping the workshops.
The Belfast venue and details will be confirmed on receipt of an email requesting an application form. Please email info@gestaltbelfast.org. The fee is £110 (GCB Associate Member £95). If applying for several workshops, contact us regarding payment terms.
2-3 March 2019: The dance of ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ (PP, PD and CP)
Exploring the human capacity for ambivalence or indecision through the polarities of ‘yes’ and ‘no’, and ‘yes/no’. Through dialogue and movement, we hope to bring to light our habitual responses, our ‘gut feelings’ and deep longings, our ambivalences, the rules we have learned or set ourselves to approach or avoid one another. The link with early attachment and the unfinished business of trauma will be discussed.
