2017, October 7 & 8 Introduction Working with Children in Therapy Sessions

The Kids are the future, and they need to have support from the family, school & society.

Giving Children support in therapy sessions will contribute to have happy adults in the future

The way to work with children in a therapy session could be a little different than working with adults. Professional therapists need to adjust their therapeutic tools to the level of children.

What You Will Learn:

The basic principles and practices will be covered through experiential exercises, discussion, and some personal exploration.

This will include:

• The paradoxical theory of change

• The magic of role playing with children

• Being open to the unexpected – magic happens

• Experiencing the Now: savouring and chewing

• The importance of being specific and concrete

• The creative void and change in the Here and Now

Also, we will explore an introduction to Gestalt work with children:

• Use of drawing and colors

• Sand play with children

• Music therapy

• Family sculpturing and more

2017, September 23 & 24 Healing through Art, TAROT and Gestalt Therapy work

C.G. Jung’s ideas will be a foreground for this creative tool in Gestalt Art Therapy sessions

UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY!

This is a unique opportunity to experience yourself and your work with art and imagery as a source for creative renewal. Just like in any situation in life, artists, professional therapists, and health workers can put themselves under strain either from trying too hard, or reversely, not starting a personal process to motivate themselves. This workshop will help.

Whatever your previous experience with art, professional qualifications or training, you will have an opportunity to explore the Self who knows what the soul needs and how to express it. The aim is to arrive at a state of relaxed perception, supported by the beautiful venue and good facilitators. True perception helps us to slow down to those moments of inner content, which are called happiness. All art materials are included in the fee.

You will learn:

• How to use art materials to enhance your therapeutic practice.

• Learn the Art of imagery as manifested by the TAROT and the Houses of Astrology.

• Learn how gestalt and process dynamics will influence your insights and become a more innovative practitioner.

• Enable to offer your clients deeper insights on their life’s journey.

• Integrate your art, your therapeutic modality and your practice skills to be more alive and passionate in your work and life.

Days:

September 23 & 24, 2017

Time:

Saturday: 9:30 am - 5:00pm

Sunday: 9:30 am – 4:00pm

2017, September 16 Working with Mandalas in Therapy sessions

Life is a circular process. Our unresolved conflicts are also circular...we are constantly circling around our being and growing.

In this one-day event, you will learn how to change the repetitive patterns that emerge in your life using/creating/ modifying mandalas in a symbolic way.

Learn how to practice this skill to be used with your clients and/or for your own personal growth.

Note: According to art therapist and mental health counselor Susanne F. Fincher, we owe the re-introduction of mandalas into modern Western thought to Carl Jung, the Swiss psychoanalyst. In his pioneering exploration of the unconscious through his own art making, Jung observed the motif of the circle appearing spontaneously in many dreams.

The circle drawings reflected his inner state at that moment.

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 !
