The Moving Body in Gestalt

The Moving Body in Gestalt

Gestalt psychotherapy draws on the creative self, the imagination and spontaneity in the arts. It is an experiential process orientated approach. Experimentation holds a central place in its philosophy.

"...the use of expressive movement in a Gestalt approach to body process uses the form of experiment rather than exercise." Kepner

The course is practice based, working with facilitation in dyads, triads and the whole group.

Some of the topics that will be covered:

• Kinaesthetic awareness/ felt experience of the movement
