ONE DAY WORKSHOPS

Body Centered Gestalt Therapy

Saturday, November 18  10:00 AM - 5:30 PM

Body centered therapy is a way to create and heighten awareness of the truth of our body.  The history or how we became who are now is recorded in our body--in how we move: how we hold ourselves: what we can feel.  As we become aware of what our body has to tell us we can begin our process of ownershop and change.

Body centered therapy is similar in many ways to traditional body work, but does not require physical contact between therapist and client.  There will be experiential exercises to develop body sensation and awareness and opportunity to work on personal issues.  Casual clothing is recommended.

Participants will learn:

*  A body centered understaning of the Gestalt cycle of experience

*  How to develop body sensation through language, breath movement and posture

*  How to recognize the language of the body

*  How to recognize and work with the energy system

*  The role bodily awareness plays in spiritural growth

Mr. Evans has worked in the field for over thirty years as a therapist, treatment program consultant, and clinical director. Twelve years were devoted to working on the Navajo and Gila River reservations. Barry has studied Zen and worked with Sufi teachers.  He has experience in Chinese Animal Form Movement and in Sufi drumming and breathing exercises. His therapy emphasizes mental clarity and bodily awareness as keys to spiritual development. 

Educated in Philosophy and Human Development at Rutgers University,        Claremont Graduate School, and St. Mary’s College. 
Trained in Gestalt at St. Mary’s and the Gestalt Institute of Phoenix. Trained in Gestalt/Reichian Bodywork with Michael Smith.

SPECIAL INTEREST WORKSHOPS

Working With Body: Gestalt Therapy and Embodiment
A Workshop For Therapists

Leader: Michael Clemmens PhD

Saturday, February 10, 2007 10:00 AM - 530 PM

Sunday, February 11, 2007 10:00 AM - 5:30 PM

Our work with clients is most effective when the whole of our mutual experience is available.  It is attention to bodily aspects of experience that distinguishes Gestalt Therapy from other approaches. In this workshop we will explore how to attend to and work with client’s physical process as both the figure and ground for deep experiential change.

The format of this workshop will be experiential, didactic and practice sessions. The emphasis will be on demonstrating and practicing skills in attending to client’s body experience. Participants should be prepared to engage in practice sessions as part of the learning.

The workshop is limited to 18 participants and is appropriate for therapists/clinicians only.

Michael Clemmens is a psychologist and trainer based in Pittsburgh, Pa. He teaches Gestalt and body oriented approaches to therapy as a member of the faculty of the Gestalt Institute of Cleveland and at the Esalen Institute and Metanoia Institute in London.

THEORY SEMINARS

THEORY OF GESTALT THERAPY SEMINARS


An understanding of the theoretical foundations of Gestalt Therapy is integral to mastering its intuitive approach and to applying its techniques.  And Gestalt techniques, by their very nature, inherently support the theory of the therapy.  Through lecture, discussion and structured exercises, this series of 4 three-hour seminars will present the basic principles, central concepts and core attitudes of Gestalt Therapy Theory.  

Gestalt Theory I: The Foundation (Gestalt Experience)

Central to Gestalt Therapy is a theory which views healthy individuals as organisms seeking a natural balance of healthy functioning. Gestalt honors each individuals striving toward this balance and their personal expertise in promoting self growth and development.  In this seminar we will present the theoretical constructs for understanding human behavior and how it informs the Gestalt treatment approach.   Participants will learn:
* The Gestalt model of Organismic-Self-Regulation
* The Gestalt concepts of Awareness and Contact
* Gestalt Formation and the Gestalt Experience Cycle

Gestalt Theory II: The Process (Here and Now)  

Unlike the medical model of illness, Gestalt views human behavior as the organism's creative attempt to adapt.  Whether healthy or unhealthy, or with awareness or not, the organism continues to pursue balance.  Our purpose in this seminar is to view the Gestalt Therapy formulations about human dis-ease, or less than optimal adaptation, which keeps one out of balance.   Participants will learn:
* How human distress and neuroses develop in the Gestalt model of Functioning
* Resistances to Contact as Projection, Introjection, Retroflection, Deflection and Confluence

* The Paradoxical Theory of Change

Gestalt Theory III: The Relationship (I and Thou)

During the therapeutic encounter, the Gestalt therapist fosters reciprocal relationships with clients. This involves insisting on and supporting each client's responsibility for self while acknowledging and utilizing the therapist's own personhood.  In this seminar, we will explore the principles of interactions between the Gestalt therapist and client.   Participants will learn:
* To understand I-Thou relating
* To describe the Five Layers of Personality
* The definition of Responsibility

Gestalt Theory IV: The Experiment (What and How)

Gestalt learning occurs through experiencing and doing.  Change in Gestalt Therapy results from increasing awareness of one's personal process, or how we experience our way of being in contact with both the self and the environment.  In this seminar we will review classic Gestalt techniques and the fundamentals of customizing therapeutic experiments.   Participants will learn:
* To define and recognize Unfinished Business
* The concepts of Polarities and Integration
* How to construct experiments for experiential learning

She describes lasting emotional change developing in three stages: 1. debriefing, discovering emotional defense mechanisms that keep a person living life with outmoded constraints; 2. working through these constraints both cognitively and emotionally with Gestalt Therapy; and, 3. integrating new patterns of emotional understanding and feeling through the Gestalt experience.

their families while working both at Charter and Banner Desert
Behavioral Health Hospitals. She has had a private practice at the
Gestalt Institute for the last 8 years. "I joined the faculty at that
time which has given me the opportunity to grow in my understanding and
practice of Gestalt Therapy through teaching, supervising practicum and
interactions with knowledgeable colleagues."
