20th annual residential 4-day Workshop of Gestalt Foundation

20th annual residential 4-day Workshop of Gestalt Foundation

From 17th until 20th May 2018, the 20th four-day Gestalt psychotherapy workshop of our center was held at Valis Resort Hotel, in Agria, Volos. This four-day workshop was particularly important for our center because it coincided with the 20th anniversary of its foundation.

 

The topic of the four-day workshop this year could be no other than "Commitment". Commitment to education, commitment to evolution, commitment to Gestalt psychotherapy!

 

The honored guest of this event was Dr Nurith Levi, from Israel, who was one of the first partners of the center and a great trainer! Both the trainees and the advanced group of professionals had the opportunity to work with her and enjoy her unique way of exploring, analyzing coordinating and supervising!

 

In an intensely emotional climate at the Gala the anniversary was celebrated. The evening opened with a greeting from Dr Nurith Levi, a loyal collaborator of the center since its inception, and then the participants read extracts from a presentation by Sir Harm Siemens, a great therapist and mentor of Gestalt therapy, who is no longer among us, about commitment and a video presentation followed, a delightful twist of the course of these twenty years.

 

Then the old graduates, today's associates of the center, spoke about their course and their evolution from young trainees to professional Gestalt therapists and thanked the founding members and trainers who guided and continue to guide them. They also sent a greeting to today's trainees of the center, who have now taken the toll of education! The evening evolved into an amazing feast with delicious dishes, plenty of wine, exciting music and dance.

 

We wish this course to have continuity, evolution, creativity, loyalty and commitment…!!!
