The Bodymind Gestalt Group is for people who are interested in expanding their personal awareness to effect positive change in their lives. In this 12-session psychotherapy intensive, questions such as how to gain comfort in your own skin, improve upon your relationships and act on your potential will be explored so that you may open to new and more effective choices.
What past participants have said:
"I learned skills that allow me to be more courageous in encounters with others."
In the Bodymind Gestalt Group, I learned how to face my feelings and perceptions. By listening to my body, I can better relate with others and the world."
"This group accelerated my awareness and growth."
"I learned a lot about myself in particular listening to information from my body. I learned about relating with other people. "
Bodymind awareness practices will help you to shift your focus into the here and now and prepare you for the work we will do together. Participants will be introduced to Gestalt process and group work. With its here and now focus, Gestalt promotes greater awareness. In this group, opportunities will be created to try things out using the whole body and in so doing participants can become aware of just how it is they get stuck. In the Gestalt process, participants are guided to find the necessary support within themselves to risk new ways of relating to themselves, others and their environment.
