This first course, INTRODUCTION TO THE GESTALT ART
THERAPY EXPERIENCE is made up of three week-ends covering twelve modules.
The Gestalt Art Therapy centre is a Brisbane based centre
offering a series of workshops to introduce the participant to the effective
utilisation of art tools and gestalt therapy processes in working with
individual clients, groups, couples and families who may be seeking a more
creative approach to personal development. It is all about living fully and
creatively in the present moment..
The directors of the centre are Yaro Starak and Gemma
Garcia. Both have extensive work and teaching experience that spans more than
30 years in many countries, and involving both English and Spanish speaking
students.
This first course, INTRODUCTION TO THE GESTALT ART
THERAPY EXPERIENCE is made up of three week-ends covering twelve
modules. Each module has both a theoretical component (experienced on line) and
practical, face- to- face experiential workshops which are held at the Centre.
There are going to be a series of exercises that will
give the student ample opportunity to apply the theory to actual practical
experience in the group. All tools are designed to give the student a direct
capability to work with clients using gestalt and art methods and skills.
In each week-end workshop, the students will be able
to ‘sample’ specific tools of art therapy. For example, painting, music, mime,
sand play, mandalas, movement, drama, phototherapy and so on. The introduction
course is for counsellors, therapists, social workers, artists and anyone
interested in learning new way to apply art and gestalt in their work.
In addition, we are introducing a new model of working
called SICAIDIR. It is a method of application clear processes in each therapy
session combining Gestalt and Art.
Finally, this introduction to gestalt and art therapy is a
unique form of therapy because it goes beyond the usual academic and
theoretical medium and beyond the official gestalt training offered by the
various institutes. To apply, please fill in the application form
that we shall send you and return it to us. We shall then include all the
registration information for you to be able to reserve your place in this
course. No artistic skills are necessary.
This workshop is an approved PD for professionals

SOME EXAMPLES OF ART THERAPY AND GESTALT
PROCESS WORK.
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.
Here you will find and carry out therapeutic work with tools that combine art and gestalt method.
You can learn new ways of providing therapeutic treatment depending on the particular situation and client needs.
1.2-ART AS PERSONAL GROWTH
These modules can be practical exercises for your "realize" how do you do in your life.
There are specific modules that you can play with your partner and / or family.
SKYPE - ON LINE THERAPY
We offer brief therapy sessions via Skype. You may request a no-obligation appointment with us, the first session is free.
This is a way of doing personal therapy we call "Emergency work" used in very special cases and situations. For us, the therapy session should be mainly for the benefit of the client needing immediate help.
