“The starry sky overhead and the moral law within us fill the mind with a new and increasing admiration and awe, the more so the more often and more persistently we ponder it”
I. Kant
“The gait reveals whether one is already on his way….. But he who draws near to his goal dances.
… And though there is mire and thick sorrow on the earth – but he who has light feet runs over the mud and dances as on cleared ice. Lift your hearts, my brothers, higher, higher and higher! And do not forget your feet as well!
Raise your feet as well, you good dancers, or better yet, stand on your heads!”
F.Nietzsche.
“The meaning of a work is in the depth of the question posed, not in the unambiguity of the answer.”
Y.M.Lotman
Gestalt Dialogues is an educational, interdisciplinary, international project aimed at creating a space for reflection and assimilation of actual experience and the development of therapeutic identity.
We gather for the third time to continue to notice and reflect on the changes that are happening to us. And also to share our stories and realizations with people close to us.
Gestalt Dialogues #3 invites Gestalt practitioners (both those beginning practice and those with experience) to explore the professional transformations to which we are all inevitably subject.
To this end, we are continuing the Therapeutic Stories format. In this format, experienced colleagues will share with us their stories about how clients influence therapists, how professional transformations take place, how to prevent burnout and professional deformation.
There are 3 topics for polylogues in the program:
- Freedom or who owns the function of the Ego in the age of metamodernity.
- Loss. Initiation. Personal philosophy.
- The time of mortals and the time of immortals.
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.
