Abstract
Presence is not Charisma. Charisma is a figure competing with another figure, while Presence is ground, asking to be written on’ Joseph Zinker in Sketches In this workshop we experience being in the now by listening to the silence, to our inner voices and to spoken words . We will focus on how we feel, on what we are aware of, and how it is to be part of this group. The moment a group comes together all kind of things happen in the undercurrent. The question is what will be expressed? What we think, what we feel , what we long for, what we are afraid of what we find irritating? We will become aware by letting our hands write the words that want to be written. and share by focusing on how we feel and how we sound while reading our written words out loud. When we are present our breathing is deep, full, even. Our sense of time is slow and measured. Our bodily self is heavily grounded. Presence is the acquired state of awe in the face of an infinitely complex and wondrous universe.

Presenter Bio

In 1988 I started Gestalt Center De Walvis/The Whale in Amsterdam, where I am born in 1936, just before WWII. Being a war child is the main ground for becoming a therapist. For more than 40 years I have been leading ongoing therapy-, writting- and training groups. I was a member of the Dutch EAGT and still am of the IAAGT and the NYIGT. I had the privilege to work more than twenty times in Russia and Ukraine.I went to Gestalt conferences in the UK, USA, Canada, Mexico. In 2005 I initiated and cocreated a Regional AAGT conference in Amsterdam. I published 3 books in Dutch and one in English: Gestalt Process Writing to C. By practising Gestalt I am opening more and more my creativity by drawing, painting, writing poems and sounding the words I have written.
