2019 Denmark Orø Intensive Gestalt Art Therapy Seminar June 30 to July 5, 2019

An amazing ART THERAPY Seminar in Gestalt Institute of Escandinavia Denmark!

Leaders from Australia

Yaro Starak & Gemma Garcia

Where:

GIS

Gestalt Institute of Escandinavia

Næsbyvej 28, Orø 4300 Holbæk Danmark

Yaro Starak & Gemma Garcia have explored this topic for over eight years now and found that the Gestalt community everywhere does not have a curriculum where the Gestalt Art approach is integrated into the Gestalt therapy practice.

Of course, bits and pieces of drama, drawing, and other so called artistic elements are added to a session with a training group. Yet, a specific training in the use of art tools in gestalt work is not available everywhere.

In this workshop Yaro work together with Gemma Garcia, Gestalt therapist and Visual artist, with whom he founded the Gestalt Art Therapy centre in Australia. www.gestaltarttherapy.com

Fritz Perls was excited to incorporate dramatists and body work in his workshops, and Laura Perls integrated Dance in her workshops too, of which many have become well known in their artistic work. At this time, the art aspect in training students is not sufficiently promoted, and the experiential aspects of Gestalt is losing its important place in therapy.

At this GIS week workshop, we will introduce the skills and tools of Gestalt Art Therapy.

OBJECTIVES:

To enable trained gestalt therapists, attain creative tools of practice in their work.
To offer an art focused Gestalt workshop at Orø

METHODOLOGY:

The workshop will offer some theoretical principles with extensive practical elements and experiential group processes using Art materials as tools to enhance therapy with clients.

MATERIALS

During the introduction to ART Therapy, there will be many art materials used (see the program) each “tool” will be explained and practiced with a volunteer client and also we will use the group process work to demonstrate the healing medium in art. The art materials are negotiated as to availability.

ART THERAPY - A GESTALT APPROACH

Hello! Welcome to our creative therapy centre!

Here you will find everything related to Art Therapy using the Gestalt approach.

What is Art ?:

Art is genarally known as what is done by a person whose purpose is to express a message through symbols.

These symbolic tools can be music, paintings, sculptures, theater and so on.

What is Gestalt Therapy ?:

Gestalt therapy is a methodology within psychology that grew out of the research and work of the psychiatrist Dr.Fritz Perls and his wife Dr.Laura Perls.

These two professionals were coming from the psychoanalytic perspective and felt that this method was not enough to work with clients. Today we are clearly aware that no one single method can resolve the issues that involve a range of human suffering and growth.

Gestalt is a German word roughly meaning "Shape" or "configuration".

This concept is understood, in gneral terms, that all individual experiences are shaped by a figure and a background. As time goes on, and our needs change, the figure can become the background and vice versa. So in the client's experience, the figure is changing at all times from becoming a background and as the needs arise, the figure emerges seeking completion.

When we block or prevent this process, we become unaware and suffer. That is a part of the theoretical foundations of Gestalt therapy.

Gestalt therapy, therefore, is a "philosophy", a way of being in the world in the "here and now" and taking "response-aibility" without pushing the river. Thus life is a flow ..

What is GESTALT Art Therapy?

It is the sum of the two previous concepts, Gestal therapy and the use of tools we learn to use in art therapy.

Using the artistic tools and adding the gestalt language between client and psychotherapist we work jointly to decode the messages hidden in the intrinsic symbols representing the client's situation. The Psychotherapist accompanies the client in the process of "discovering" what is helpful and not analysing or interpreting, but suggesting and asking the client what it is he or she knows are the answers and supports client's need to discover the ncessary solutions.

WE ARE SURE THAT YOU WILL BE ATTRACTED by this new way of working with emotions, whether or not you are a professional psychologist or therapist, since many of the exercises can be used personally for your own growth.

Our work is done in Australia & Spain and other countries. We have given workshops and participated in conferences throughout the world. We are located in our offices at the Gestalt Art Therapy Centre in Brisbane -Australia.

BE HAPPY HERE AND NOW..... AND BE CREATIVE !
