SUMMARY:The end is in the beginning or I'm still standing
DESCRIPTION:Every story begins somewhere —\nin the life of a person\,\nin the heart of a creature\,\nin the birth of the world itself. \nBut where does an ending begin?\nAnd when does a beginning touch the edge of an ending? \nWithin us\, endings stir excitement — and beginnings awaken fear.\nBeginnings overwhelm; endings leave us in awe. \nPicture flowers\, scorched by snow\, holding their form.\nPicture them again\, rising from the ashes.\nLife pulses even in the ruins.\nThe end is everywhere\, and so is the beginning —\nboth are miracles of this world. \nThis workshop is an invitation to walk the cycles of life.\nTo follow the eternal rhythm of contact.\nTo explore meaning together —\nand to co-create a living synthesis of beginnings and endings\, stretching through space and time. \nOpen to adults ready to create\, to witness\, and to share.\nThe final creation will be presented to an audience as the shared work of all participants \nWe will aim at grounding and defining the qualities the “psychic topos” has whithin each one of us\, a visionary safe space. The workshop is tailored so each participant from their place\, can explore the cycle of beginning and ending\, according to their personal experiences. It will include work in small groups\, movement\, and any kind of performance (playing an instrument\, singing\, etc). There is a simple structure that will be presented to the participants\, who are free to shape it in any other way if needed\, and which will be presented to an audience (people who have been registered in other Humans of Gestalt conference). The presentation and call for feedback from the audience will be included in the three hour workshop. \n2 Sessions \nEnglish \nZoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/82878441618?pwd=lpIfJ74KKiv6ZV2LZarokM2G1Mn8WB.1 \nMeeting ID: 828 7844 1618\nPasscode: BeArt \n\n \nAnna Mertzani – Greece \nA Greek Gestalt psychotherapist\, with a background in pre-school education\, photography and Acting studies and an M.A in Child Care\, Law and Practice focused on child abuse cases\, The last five years\, her psychotheraputic experiece has expanded in the refugee field as a co-ordinator of an interdisciplinary team of mental health professionals. The Gestalt approach has been a big part of her life for twenty years now\, since her first session as a client herself looking for support and awareness on levels she couldn’t comprehend back then. Today\, she is more than grateful to the Gestalt community and to herself for being a part of this\, by all means\, continuous journey of understanding the complexity and immense potential human beings have\, dealing with either existential issues or any kind of trauma and crisis in their lives. \nhttps://www.annamertzani.gr/en/

SUMMARY:The use of images in the model of dance steps
DESCRIPTION:Aesthetic and phenomenological nature of contacting among humans with grace\, vitality and spontaneity has been captured in Gestalt therapy through various concepts and models. In our workshop we aim to focus on two – the use of photography and Lobb’s model of “dance steps” in Gestalt therapy. The concept of “dance steps” is developed by Spagnuolo Lobb (2017\, 2017a\, 2017b\, 2023\, 2023a). This model allows us to understand contacting process between both – caregiver and child – in developmental psychology\, however it can be transferred in adult therapy field to capture contacting process between the therapist and the client without losing its accuracy. This model defines eight phases of contacting in co-creating field: 1. Building together the sense of the ground; 2. Perceiving one another; 3. Acknowledging one another; 4. Adjusting to one another; 5. Taking bold steps together; 6. Having fun; 7. Connecting; 8. Entrusting oneself to the other/Taking care of the other. These steps are unique and visible in every contact made between humans. Another concept we want to focus on is how photography and images can represent powerful medium to connect with inner processes\, contacting the other and the world and understanding your body resonance in the here and now. Photography is a visual art and as such it emphasizes visual perception that lead humans’ psychological experience with the aim of aesthetic pleasure (Chuang et al.\, 2023). Use of photographs or photographic material as an aid in personal growth of clients has been confirmed as successful across various population (Cannavo et al.\, 2021; Doric\, 2017; Hogan\, 2022; Loewenthal\, 2023). \nDuring this experiential workshop we will facilitate the process of contacting among participants by using photographic material and leading the therapeutic process through eight dance steps following Lobb’s model in Gestalt therapy. Participants will re-connect with their inner processes and body resonance within the aesthetic field co-created with the other and through provided photographic material. These personal experiences are expected to be shared in the group process and contribute to the overall group dynamic and experience during this workshop. \nPhotography \n3 Sessions \nEnglish \nZoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/82878441618?pwd=lpIfJ74KKiv6ZV2LZarokM2G1Mn8WB.1 \nMeeting ID: 828 7844 1618\nPasscode: BeArt \n\nMichele Cannavo – Italy \nPsychiatrist specializing at the University of Catania and Gestalt psychotherapist.

SUMMARY:Decolonizing Gestalt  *NEW DATE*
DESCRIPTION:  \n“The truth is\, no one of us can be free until everybody is free.” – Maya Angelou \n\nColonialism is not an event of the past – it is a living modern system of suppression by dominant Western Euro-American paradigms that preserve colonial demarcations of power and privilege proliferated through dimensions of power\, institutions\, and being. Decolonization is not an end goal – it is an ongoing process in the direction of creating a world that is equitable and just.\nFor us to re-imagine and co-create new ways of relating with each other\, we need to first decolonize ourselves and our systems. We need to recognize that we all carry remnants of colonization. \nFor Gestalt to remain relevant and to be a force of liberation\, it needs to critically examine itself. \nWe will critically examine and name the growing edges of Gestalt\, as a system of knowledge and as a global community. \nOur Approach:\nFor us to lean into I-THOU in a holistic way we need to account for our power differentials and our different social-cultural context\, the workshop offers opportunities to engage in:\n(1) critical consciousness and reflexivity \n(2) embodiment of decolonizing and liberation praxis \n(3) dialogical seeing and listening to “Other-ness”\, and \n(4) envisioning a shared decolonized Gestalt future.\nWith welcoming yet provocative dialogue\, we will create an experience for participants to engage with critical consciousness in an embodied way\, with the intention of leading some experiential shift in the way we perceive the world.\nThe overall process brings up content for learning\, provides time for individuals to reflect and consider their own context for learning and potential action\, and allows participants to engage in a flexible process framework that seeks to give a more liberatory spatial experience.\nThe organizers have facilitated similar group processes in different Gestalt spaces over the last few years. These Gestaltists bring with them richness\, diversity\, and wisdom from different professional backgrounds  (psychotherapist\, organizational development consultant\, coach\, attorney\, and advocate) whose expertise is informed by lived experience in Asia\, Australia\, and North America. \n  \nKirti Singh (she/her)\, MA\, GPCC\, PCC is a Clinical Therapist\, a certified Executive Coach\, and a Group Facilitator who brings with her a decade of knowledge and understanding of self and different systems. As a Clinical Therapist\, Kirti provides supervised therapy services to individuals\, couples\, and groups at Toronto Psychological Services & Research Centre. She is an Experienced Professional Certified Coach offering Executive Coaching services to mid-senior level leaders; specializes in creating leadership workshops and leading group facilitation sessions. She is serving as a Teaching Faculty at the Gestalt Institute of Cleveland\, Ohio. She has lived and worked in Canada\, the USA\, and India adding to her experience of working with clients from culturally diverse backgrounds. \nMartha Potts (Bibi) (she/her)\, PhD left a career in public transit to pursue a doctorate in organizational behavior at Case Western Reserve University. Her research conducted in Rwanda\, Africa\, focused on human systems transformation. Upon completion of her travels\, she worked in the non-profit sector where her passions continued to evolve. She recently ended retirement to join ThirdSpace Action Lab where she functions as the Awareness\nBuilding Manager. She is currently immersed in understanding ways in which Gestalt theory can support and nurture the multidimensionality of Black identities in a society in which systems\, institutions\, and policies are designed to disenfranchise them. \nMargaret Yao (she/her)\, MBA\, ICF ACC\, GPCC coaches executives and emerging leaders who seek to live their values and bring their whole identities and talents to bear on work worth doing. Margaret also does group facilitation and teaches at the Gestalt Institute of Cleveland\, where she trained. Recent coaching clients include leaders in democracy-related spaces\, climate action\, diplomacy\, and human rights. Prior to serving as Chief People Officer of Democracy Fund\, a private foundation that she helped establish\, she led or facilitated organizational change in nonprofits and government and has published on leadership and inclusion. \nMaya Simek (she/her)\, ESQ\, LISW-S\, MSSA\, serves as a Clinical Law Professor/Director of Case Western Reserve School of Law’s Human Trafficking Law Project. Ms. Simek further serves as the Legal Director at Equality Ohio\, where she developed\, launched (2019)\, and is now supervising a state-wide legal clinic for the lesbian gay bisexual transgender queer (LGBTQ+) community. Ms. Simek focuses her practice on the interdisciplinary issues\nimpacting the LGBTQ+ community and human trafficking survivors\, community lawyering\, and the intersections between law and social work. \nZoom ID A: \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/85675525658?pwd=bR4CSv9gJDR6L2abHKXOs3zRArqnwX.1 \nID de reunión: 856 7552 5658\nCódigo de acceso: Open24 \nIn case you have an error with the first zoom meeting\, use Zoom ID B: \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/88528851454?pwd=pxhvCpdR4dCZcHoX6YFEHZ6kjesdnG.1 \nID de reunión: 885 2885 1454\nCódigo de acceso: Open2024

SUMMARY:The Painful Legacies of Race and Class: Exploring the Impact of White Supremacy and Anti-Blackness on Contact and Intimacy
DESCRIPTION:Jennifer Jones & Alison Gerig  \nPhiladelphia\, United States \nAbstract\nVery few countries throughout the globe have escaped the impacts of imperialism\, colonization\, genocides\, and slave trades. These historical and current experiences of supremacy\, dominance and oppression create in many people legacies of dehumanization and disconnection. These internalized\, often out-of-awareness fixed gestalts of race\, class\, and ethnicity guide how we engage with one another and block contact and intimacy. The first step in having the freedom to choose how to loosen the hold of these fixed gestalts is to bring them into embodied awareness. Attendees are invited to witness and engage with the disruptions of contact that two queer Gestalt therapists have navigated in building intimacy and connection at the intersectional contact boundaries of race and class in the United States. Alison and Jennifer\, who have been friends and colleagues for over two decades\, will share their challenges and learnings in examining their intimacy and contact through racialized and classed lenses. They will model this experiment by using an embodied awareness approach. Attendees will then have an opportunity to explore their own challenges with creating intimacy at these intersectional boundaries of race\, class\, and ethnicity and will be invited to experiment bringing into awareness their own somatic experiences. \nPresenter Bio \nJennifer C. Jones\, PhD\, LCSW\, is a 54 y.o.\, multiracial Black\, queer\, fairly able-bodied\, cisgender woman with U.S. citizenship. Jennifer incorporates an economics human rights perspective\, a harm reduction framework\, and Gestalt Therapy principles in her work and engagement with others. She co-founded Rising Caps Collective with Aisha Mohammed\, LMFT\, supporting expansive healing to address traumatic legacies of colonization\, slavery and capitalism. Jennifer works with Lykos Therapeutics (formerly\, Multidisciplinary Association of Psychedelic Studies Public Benefit Corporation) as a Justice\, Equity\, Diversity & Inclusion (JEDI) consultant and a MDMA-assisted Therapy educator. Since 2003\, Jennifer has practiced trauma-informed psychotherapy and clinical supervision with individuals and therapists working with people identifying as: lgbqa; transgender or gender non-binary; people of color; sex workers; neurodiverse\, substance users; experiencing class oppression; formerly incarcerated and/or having a positive HIV status. Previously\, she served as the Chief DEI Officer of Philadelphia FIGHT Community Health Centers and as a member of the faculty and leadership of the Gestalt Training Institute of Philadelphia (GTIP). As a parent who believes a just world is possible\, Jennifer is committed to the unity of the global poor and dispossessed organizing across color lines to fight for everyone’s economic human rights. \nAlison Gerig has been a Gestalt therapist since 2009 when she attended the Gestalt Training Institute of Philadelphia (GTIP). She holds a commitment to disrupting the ways in which we uphold White supremacy within the psychotherapy field. She strives to bring a liberatory lens to her clinical work that focuses on undoing fixed gestalts stemming from the relational and dominant cultural fields that then manifest into depression\, anxiety\, shame\, hopelessness\, self-critique\, illness\, and disconnection from being fully present in the here and now. Using the therapeutic relationship as a healing anchor\, Alison offers gestalt theory\, embodiment/somatic\, and parts work opportunities to undo these introjects and begin to create new meanings and choices about being members of our cultures\, communities\, families\, and relationship to ourselves. Alison currently lives and works on the stolen land of the Lenni Lenape people (Philadelphia\, PA). She is white\, queer\, able-bodied\, spiritual\, comes from generational wealth in the southern United States\, and is raising a spriteful teenager. She loves to bake\, play the piano\, and find joy with her loved ones.\nhttps://www.alisongerig.com \ntype (workshop/ popup/ process) \nWorkshop/experiential \nlanguage \nEnglish – We welcome any translators who are willing to translate

SUMMARY:Just another human being-The metapmorphosis of the psychotherapist
DESCRIPTION:Radmila Zivanovic \nSkopje\, North Macedonia \nAbstract \nIn this session of exploration\, I will invite you into exploration of the lived and still alive experience of being psychotherapist while being just an another human being. We are going to explore the ongoing change and development but also the moments of stagnation\, withdrawal and giving up. Holding to the humanity and giving back the extraordinarity of the role\, still keeping the uniquness and the tendency to construct and decosntruct\, to build and destroy. All this moments are complex interplay of the capacities and sensitivity of the psychotherapist\, specificity of the field\, the context\, developmental and life-specific issues\, the things we aspire to\, the weaknesses/biases that we are aware of and the meaning we give to life. We all part of our special transformational journey that very often we do not pay attention\, we do not share it\, we take it for granted\, we forget to embrace it and celebrate it. This session\, is one of those oportunities to create of what we have experienced and discovered\, a self-nurturing and self-reflective experience of the role we invest most of our grown up lives. \nPresenter Bio \nRadmila Zivanovic is licenced psycholosgist\, EAGT psychotherapist\, trainer and supervisor. I work in my private practice in Republic of North Macedonia for 10 years now. At the same time I feel I am more than the limits and can be less than the opportunities. I am very curious\, creative\, active and funny. Like to move out very often from the professional rutine by enhansing the contact with what is more human\, imperfect and grounded aspect of my therapeutic role. I consider myself as a psychotherapist and not only gestalt psychotherapist.\nhttps://gestaltinstitutesinergija.mk/team/radmila-zivanovic/ \ntype (workshop/ popup/ process) \nProcess group- part 2 \nlanguage \nEnglish \n

SUMMARY:“La alegría consciente”  Clowngestalt
DESCRIPTION:Néstor Muzo \nEspaña \nAbstract\nLa expresión del humor y la risa pertenecen al ser humano mas allá de cualquier convencionalismo\, cultura\, raza\, religión\, ideas\, creencias o género. Es hora de actualizarnos siguiendo el ritmo de los tiempos que corren\, y teniendo en cuenta nuestras necesidades y recursos\, existe un “tesoro” a nuestro alcance como es la alegría. Una emoción que utilizado de manera consciente nos permite integrarnos con lo que somos y ampliar la mirada sobre nosotros mismos. Me gustaría transmitir en este encuentro con el público la emoción y la relevancia que supuso para mí vislumbrar y comprender lo bien que conjugaban el lenguaje del payaso con la filosofía gestáltica. Gracias a esta nueva óptica encontré otra manera de verme\, de experimentar esa Alegría consciente en algunos momentos de mi vida\, y sobre todo\, tuve la oportunidad de integrarme con todo lo que soy: antes que nada persona\, y luego artista y terapeuta. \nPresenter Bio \nTerapueta gestáltico\, clown\, Director de escena.

SUMMARY:The fascinating playground of alive human social systems for Gestalt intervening in organisations
DESCRIPTION:Jochen Lohmeier \nAbstract\nDrawing from my international working experience in societal development\, my session offers a unique blend of Gestalt and human social systems theory. We all know: our here & now environments influence our multiple perceptions\, they impact our emotionally based decisions. We are different as professionals\, compared to playing with children or friends\, or to having sex. Social and societal systems have their own dynamics that influence organizations. What we often do not know is how to address the complexity of the systems which we attach to and consult with. We will look at widespread\, dearly held\, but false assumptions regarding OD consulting\, at different types of human social systems and respective intervention strategies\, and at serious & humble OD consulting strategies from the edge of system boundaries. The session has a range of explorative experiences and gets the more exciting the more diversity we have among participants. \nPresenter Bio \nHaving started off with a PhD in Economics (1981)\, I now bring over 50 years of experience in teaching\, planning\, research\, leadership coaching\, and organizational development\, with approaches of Gestalt psychology and emotional intelligence. My Gestalt certifications are in supervision and coaching from the Gestalt Education Institute in Berlin (1995)\, the Cleveland Gestalt Institute in organisation development (1997)\, and the Gestalt International Study Centre (2003-9). I managed 2 consulting firms (1990 till today)\, and consulted to over 40 development projects in more than 25 countries\, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa. As an executive and as freelance consultant\, my expertise spans strategic planning\, organizational analysis\, team development\, and conflict resolution. Since Corona\, I have been slowly transitioning toward retirement\, and offer “grand-parenting” to younger generations of colleagues.

SUMMARY:Sensory Awareness
DESCRIPTION:Judyth Weaver \nSeattle\, USA \nAbstract \nIn 1947 in a letter\, Fritz Perls wrote to his wife about working with Charlotte Selver: “Finally I found for what I have been looking for all over the years and what I did not find at any other school.  Now this corroborates and underpins my entire theory.” He also wrote: “Here is the method which not only accomplishes what I was striving after by concentration exercises\, but which is subtle and in contract to stress…” This work eventually named “Sensory Awareness” by Selver is what has influenced so many in fields of psychotherapy\, movement\, arts\, etc.  This session will be a classical Sensory Awareness class wherein participants are encouraged to sense and feel their experiences and also have time to speak and share if they want. \nPresenter Bio \nJudyth O.

SUMMARY:Cultural Resonance: Essence of Georgian Dance through the Gestalt Perspective.
DESCRIPTION:Sophia Sisauri \nTbilisi\, Georgia \nAbstract\nDiscussing: in what ways can be my fear contributing to my courage? Talking about shame of being left alone with another \nPresenter Bio \nI am Sophia and I dance. Usually I am occupied with an aware thinking process in which I internalize experiences and make connections with different phenomenas. These extreme of mine helped me find places from where I invent useful practices for my existence and if successful I usually share it with others. I study gestalt psychotherapy and it has been a life changing experience so far. I am on my third year of studies and I recently started supervised therapeutic practices. On going projects are: Gestalt therapeutic group for eating difficulties (co facilitator) Spontaneous movement dance class (facilitator) Professor assistant and SANGU university\, Therapeutic group tutor for 1st year gestalt students (GNGI) Now that gestalt welcomes new perspectives in to the practice I felt free to send my initiative\, offering you to gather some ideas from our colleagues on a matter of “games that people play”. \ntype (workshop/ popup/ process) \nPresentation (Discussing: in what ways can be my fear contributing to my courage?

SUMMARY:Being Present 2
DESCRIPTION:Tine Van Wijk \nAmsterdam\, Netherlands \nAbstract\nPresence 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. \nPresenter Bio \nIn 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.\nhttps://www.tinevanwijk.nl \ntype (workshop/ popup/ process) \nCreative workshop \nlanguage \nEnglish

SUMMARY:Birth Patterns
DESCRIPTION:Federica Ronchi \nFaenza\, Italy \nAbstract\nI would like to host an open conversation regarding birth patterns\, to explore if there are any correlations between the way we came into the World and our way to experience it.

SUMMARY:Everything\, Everywhere\, Every Moment
DESCRIPTION:Jennifer Bury \nAbstract\nLife is an ongoing shared adventure which gives us the opportunity to receive and respond to a shower of sensory information from moment to moment. This workshop focuses on fostering our kinesthesia through movement experiments designed to increase our awareness of how we co-create our experience. When we attend to the aesthetics of our experience we rediscover ourselves as vital beings\, engaged in an ongoing dialogue with others\, and as an integral part of a dynamic world. Just as our lived sensory experience guides us\, experiencing our own choices in contrast to the choices of others\, expands our repertoire of how to be with our clients\, with each other\, and how to respond as part of a dynamic world. In a time of discord and alienation\, the recognition of this ongoing dialogue offers a shift from feelings of isolation from each other and fear for ourselves and our planet\, to a sense of being an active participant\, caring for each other and our world \nPresenter Bio \nJennifer Bury is a movement therapist in private practice for 40 years\, based in San Francisco\, presenting workshops within the Gestalt community throughout the U.S.\, Europe\, and Asia. Jennifer is a certified trainer and supervisor in Developmental Somatic Psychotherapy™\, and teaches at universities\, medical facilities\, and leads Gestalt and somatic training groups\, both online and in-person. Her background includes studies in pre-med\, neurology\, kinesiology\, various forms of dance\, and numerous somatic methods. Her practice includes military veterans\, professional dancers\, members of the LGBTQ+ community\, and spans from assisting infants first orienting to life\, to guiding people through their dying process.\nhttps://jenniferbury.com \ntype (workshop/ popup/ process) \nWorkshop / Interactive movement-based \nlanguage \nEnglish
