This workshop is for you if ....

...you are a MA student, psychotherapist, or coach who is interested in direct, embodied, and more fluid engagement — in your own life and in your work with clients -- where experimentation, presence, and curiosity take precedence over technique. Through experiential processes and shared inquiry, we will respond in the living field and explore how growth and change unfold when we stay with what is alive.



Join us for this two-day, in-person workshop for therapists, MA students, and coaches who are drawn to Gestalt practice as a living, relational art.

Together, we will explore contact, creativity, and aliveness as they emerge in the immediacy of relationship.

This workshop invites you into direct, embodied engagement with colleagues, where experimentation, presence, and curiosity take precedence over technique. Through experiential processes and shared inquiry, we will listen closely to what wants to happen in the field — and how therapeutic change arises when we stay with what is alive.

Participants will leave nourished by real contact, with renewed trust in embodied knowing and a felt sense of how to bring greater vitality, responsiveness, and depth into their work with clients, regardless of modality.

What to Expect

Through experiential exercises, live demonstrations, and reflective dialogue, participants will deepen their capacity to:

  • cultivate creative presence in therapy and coaching
  • engage clients through embodied contact and awareness
  • work with affect, nervous-system responses, and relational dynamics as sources of transformation

This workshop invites therapists to rediscover their creative vitality and refine skills for supporting clients in present-moment contact and growth.
