Join us for an immersive four-day summer series exploring The Relational Field through a Gestalt Therapy lens. This experiential training is designed for therapists and practitioners who want to deepen their awareness of the dynamic, co-created space between themselves and their clients.
Open to current GIR students and non-GIR students.
Each day will be a mix of conversation and experiential learning as well as time to practice in a fish-bowl style of working.
Over the four days, you’ll:
Uncover what you bring into the field—your patterns, assumptions, implicit biases, and embodied presence
strengthen your ability to track the field phenomenologically, moment by moment
explore how gender, race, culture, and religion shape the relational space
engage in experiential practices like constellations and sculptural work to bring relational dynamics to life
*GIR certificate students: this summer series would count as a half semester credit and can be applied towards the required 4 semesters.
