Gestalt Therapy Brisbane puts learning at the centre of
human life. Living, growing, developing and learning are
inseparable phenomena.
Teaching is student-centered. Working in small groups
and personalised sessions will support and enhance the
learning process. Small study groups provide students
with opportunities to integrate theoretical inputs and
gain support with the integration of theory and
practice.
Group work (day seminars, weekends, residential) is
intended to develop a safe and trusting environment for
learning and forming a community. These workshops are
lead by staff of the Institute and guest leaders from
interstate and overseas. |
Emphasis is on experiential learning. Discussions,
readings and video work are blended with interactive
exercises, demonstrations and supervised practice.
A series of private personal growth sessions give the
student a chance to resolve some inner issues that
usually emerge during the study period or in group work.
Public forums are part of the reflection process,
where senior students and graduates present specific
topics in Gestalt theory and practice.
Experiential Learning at the 2009 Residential |
We have a theory that says that
contact leads to growth, because contact, which is the
process of living, is also the process of growing. There
is no life without contact, and without contact there is
no growth, and every moment of contact is growth or
change. That is the is-ness of it.
