How is the group run?

Gestalt work is based on four pillars

Awareness
Wholeness
Relationship
Experiment

Gestalt process uses these approaches to support the growth and development of participants.

1. Awareness

...is facilitated by the focus on the now - what do you feel/see/want now? Awareness includes body and mind, emotions and metaphors. The emphasis is on being with what is.

2. Wholeness

...is supported by attention to the larger context - what are the factors which have brought you to the place you are now? The empowering principle here is interconnectedness - seeing and really experiencing larger patterns in the field.

3. Relationship

...is explored through authenticity - the statement of what is true in each person’s experience. It is also developed through noticing and stating the impact others have on you.

4. Experiment

...is permission to be creative. To try new approaches to old and stale situations. To discover new ways of thinking, acting, feeling and expressing. To take moderate risks in trying something different. And to get immediate feedback about what does and doesn't work. The group here is a great forum, providing many resources for this kind of creative experimentation.

Open ended

Gestalt groups do not follow a prescriptive program. We pay attention to what arises, where the energy is, and what needs become apparent. Sometimes people need support, sometimes they need a little challenge. Sometimes they need to discover resources they didn't know they had.

The facilitator orchestrates the group, steps in, and steps back, in order to allow each member to discover more fully who they are, and come forward with their own truths. The emphasis is on meeting, knowing, learning, and growing.

Sometimes this process brings up old pain. Often its fun, even playful. The end result is participants leave feeling more enlivened.
