Personal Growth Workshop from a Gestalt Perspective: Learning About Self and Others – Cleveland

7 Continuing Education hours (lunch included in cost)

Description: This workshop is unique on a variety of levels and will provide participants with cognitive and experiential exposure to Gestalt theory as it relates to personal and professional growth. The facilitator will support participants in engaging with one another in an ongoing and spontaneous interpersonal process that gives close attention to physical, emotional, and cognitive processes, with the primary goal being to increase awareness of self and self-in-relationship to others. Participants can expect several Gestalt-centered activities that will stimulate and foster awareness, support participants in exploring trust-issues, interpersonal dynamics and the various patterns of relatedness members use outside of the group context. A primary hope is that people can learn more satisfying and meaningful ways of relating to themselves and to others through experiment and completing incomplete Gestalts. See website for full description.

Gestalt Experience Workshop – Cleveland

CE Hours: 16.5

Description:
In this increasingly complex and sometime chaotic world, interpersonal relationships have never been more important—or more complicated! Relating effectively with others can advance your professional career and enrich your personal life. In this fast-paced, multitasking world, the ability to relate authentically is easily compromised. It is often easier to withdraw into isolation and lose sight of our need to contribute to the creation of stimulating and supportive relationships and communities. Relating well is based upon using our capacities to be self-aware, curious and open to another’s experience and viewpoint, as well as having the skills to communicate effectively in order to influence with integrity.
We invite you to participate in a Gestalt Experience Workshop (GEW) and learn how a Gestalt approach can help you to build more productive productive and satisfying personal and professional relationships. This workshop focuses on increasing your self-awareness and supporting your learning through direct, present experience and respectful exchange with others. Our skilled faculty facilitators create a space in which to explore, observe, practice and discuss interpersonal interactions. In addition, core elements of Gestalt methods are explained to help you to integrate your learning.
This is a potentially transformative weekend that offers an opportunity to take some of the mystery out of creating and sustaining more satisfying professional and interpersonal relationships.
This workshop satisfies the Introductory Gestalt Workshop prerequisite for the Gestalt Training Program (GTP) and may contribute to acceptance in other GIC training programs.
