The Gestalt Institute offers a one-year residential personal development programme. The programme is designed for people who are interested in self-awareness and personal growth and may benefit from Gestalt skills in their own personal and professional lives.
The one-year programme consists of three 3-day workshops (Friday-Sunday) and one 4-day workshop(Thursday-Sunday) adding up to a total of 13 working days. Meditation, awareness, grounding, bodywork and dream work are all explored during this year of personal growth. Participants work at a deep level in a small, supportive group with experienced facilitators.
The programme will provide you with practical tools for stress management and conflict resolution. Whether you work in a caring profession, where communication and relationship skills are important, or you wish to explore your personal and professional relationships with a view to making your life richer and more personally fulfilling, this programme is for you.
Gestalt is an experiential approach which invites each of us into awareness and personal ‘response-ability’. To be effective in our own lives, we need to be in good contact with ourselves and these weekends will offer you an opportunity to experiment with new ways of relating in a safe and supportive environment.
Completion of the one-year personal development programme will be taken into account when making an application for the MA/PG Diploma in Gestalt Psychotherapy.
