Dialogues in Toulouse #2

Posted on by

“The present arises only through the lingering presence of YOU” Martin Buber.

What does a man need? A balance of stability and novelty. And also an opportunity to share both with people who are close in spirit and different in perception. What does a person need who is tired of the excess of uncertainty, when prolonged efforts to adapt exhaust the organism, and stability never comes?

In an era of non-human-sized speeds changing the world we live in, there is a catastrophic lack of time to notice our own changes.

“Dialogues in Toulouse #2” invites Gestalt practitioners (both those beginning their practice and those with experience) to explore the professional transformations to which we are all inevitably subjected.

To this end, we are launching the format “Therapeutic Stories” about how clients influence therapists, about professional transformations, about the prevention of burnout and all stages of professional deformation.

There are 3 topics for polylogues in the program:

  1. A pandemic of meaninglessness. Crisis of identity.
  2. Desperation Resources.
  3. Order out of chaos. An image of the future.

The format of the event includes:

  • A dialog or polylogue on one of the specified topics;
  • Discussion in discussion groups;
  • Presentation of the therapeutic story (case study);
  • Collective Discussion;
  • Morning and evening “madness” (bodily practices).

Maximum number of participants: 45 people.
