Available Workshops

  • Encountering the Wild

    Most of us live at a distance from the more-than-human world. As our relationship with the living earth diminishes, so too can our connection with the instinctive, creative, and untamed dimensions of ourselves. This workshop invites participants into an encounter with the wild, both within and around us. Through embodied awareness, experiential Gestalt practice, and time in relationship with the land, we explore what becomes possible when we meet the world as a living presence rather than a backdrop. Together, we cultivate a more vital, reciprocal, and grounded way of being.

  • The Art of The Experiment

    Gestalt therapy is a living, creative practice. Rather than relying solely on insight or interpretation, it invites us into experiences that allow something new to emerge. The experiment is one of its most distinctive expressions.

    The Art of the Experiment explores the experiment as both a clinical practice and an artistic discipline. Through experiential learning, demonstrations, and practice, participants cultivate the sensitivity to discover experiments that arise from embodied awareness, relational presence, and the unfolding therapeutic field.

  • The Living Field: A Gestalt Exploration of Contact and Creativity

    This two-day, in-person workshop invites therapists and coaches into Gestalt practice as a living field of relationship. Together, we explore the foundations of Field Theory through embodied experience, creative experimentation, and direct engagement with one another. Staying close to what is alive in the present moment, we discover how awareness, contact, and relationship become the ground from which therapeutic change emerges.

  • The Space Between; Presence, Love, and the Therapeutic Relationship

    Martin Buber wrote that “all real living is meeting.” This two-day workshop explores Love as a quality of presence and its place within the therapeutic relationship.

    Drawing on Buber’s philosophy of I–Thou and the relational foundations of Gestalt therapy, participants will enter an experiential exploration of genuine meeting. Through embodied practices, reflection, and dialogue, we will explore how an I–Thou presence invites deeper connection, healing, and aliveness within the therapeutic encounter. This workshop also offers an opportunity to explore our own capacity to meet Love as a way of being in relationship with ourselves, others, and the world.

  • Befriending the Night

    Befriending the Night is a weekend experiential intensive that supports individuals to engage with mystery through encountering the night. Drawing upon ecopsychological models, including Bill Plotkin’s map of the human psyche, participants will deepen their relationship to themselves, the unknown, and the sacred through exploring dreams, shadow selves, and the wisdom of the natural world.

  • The Art of Failure: Gestalt, Play, and the Wisdom of the Fool

    The Fool invites us into a different relationship with uncertainty, imperfection, and the unexpected. Drawing from Gestalt therapy, embodied exploration, and the archetype of the Fool, this experiential workshop explores how play, spontaneity, and vulnerability can open new possibilities for contact and creativity.

    Through creative experiments and relational inquiry, we will explore what becomes available when we loosen the need to succeed and discover the wisdom hidden within stumbling, surprise, and not knowing.
