In Greek, “school” means “leisure, free pastime.” In the Greek tradition dating back to Plato, the school is a space for free citizens who have the privilege of spending their leisure time in reflection in the form of dialogues. School time – leisure time – is a time that is not loaded with specific tasks, the need to get a result or give a specific answer, but it is a time of creative exploration.
Our school is a space for people theoretically and practically interested in Gestalt therapy and other humanistic currents of psychology, philosophy, anthropology and other human sciences. Here we form an environment in which we can reflect, make sense of and live out our experiences together. The most important aspect of this space is the focus on professional and personal ethics. Ethics, humanism and relational ecology are always at the center of our attention.
In our school you can get support in developing your professional identity as a psychotherapist, get acquainted with masters of national and world Gestalt therapy and philosophy, find a place where it is possible to freely discuss complex issues of our time and time for reflection and assimilation of your personal and professional experience.
Within the school we hold face-to-face and virtual dialogues, collect therapeutic stories, accumulate and publish articles and videos, and support social networking. We value and develop relationships with the participants of our projects and invite them to be speakers at our events, share their stories, thoughts, and participate directly and directly in discussions.
