Aims and Outcomes

- theory
- experiential exercises to raise awareness
- opportunity to integrate insights from field theory and gestalt therapy
- development of your own organisational consultancy and group facilitation style
Learning Processes
Gestalt raises awareness to the energy patterns that both facilitate and interrupt mindfulness. We appreciate from Gestalt how to "be" more and to "do" less and how to inquire into our perceptions and phenomenological reality.
Attending to what is organically evolving in the present, and trusting to the wisdom of uncertainty, this workshop will explore the organic and energetic nature of the learning group, while demonstrating how field theory and other modes of holistic inquiry may be used to inquire into individuals and teams, with a view to illuminating their deeper dynamics and needs so that organisations may become better homes for the human spirit.
The group will be run along the lines of a Gestalt informed peer-learning and inquiring community, and make use of case study plus live examples.
Participant profile
This course is for those interested in exploring methods of qualitative inquiry such as field theory, to illuminate the shadow-side of individuals and groups, and is suitable for trainers, consultants, teachers or research students.
