Continuing Education

The world assumes a certain health and vitality to participate in most activities. Gestalt Therapy and other approaches either assume such vitality and health or strive to help people reach it. But what happens when we are not vital or are “ill” or dis-eased. Our sense of our body changes as we are perceived differently or avoided by others. In this workshop we will explore the experience of feeling exiled from the world of “health” and exiled from our own bodily self. We will examine how being other than ascendant or improving can be addressed in our practice of Gestalt and also examine our own biases and complicity in co-creating this separation.
