What's On at Sydney Gestalt

Weekend Workshops

These workshops are for all those who value good, nourishing and enduring relationships with others. Naturally that is dependent on the quality of your own relationship with yourself. We will be exploring different ways to keep your anxiety and stress down and your excitement in life more available to you. Some of the life sustaining adjustments that we learned in our families of origin can be creatively reframed as adults. New skills and awareness can emerge and be integrated in this safe environment as we work together.

Throughout the 2 days there will be time to work with your own personal issues and concerns in the world. We will explore how you make unique contact with yourself and how belief systems as well as past negative experiences can be the determining factors in not getting your real needs met. There will be specific tailoring of techniques and approaches for each individual.
