All events are free and open to everyone.
New Presentation Structure
This year, we have changed the time of the presentations. They will begin at 12:45 p.m. unless otherwise noted. The first 15 minutes are for gathering, announcements, and personal connections. The time from 3 to 3:30 p.m. is a facilitated discussion of the topic presented. There will be different facilitators each month. We welcome you to this new format.
Presentations within the Teaching-Learning Community
The teaching-learning community is at the core of the Institute. Presentations are part of the community’s ongoing teaching-learning process and are woven into the group process through which the Institute functions. As such, they are connected to the life of the Institute as a whole, including its changing function within the larger Gestalt therapy community.
