Month of November 21-December 19, 2010

Legacy Group - Gestalt Relational Process and Body Centered Awareness

Increasing awareness of our somatic sense of self provides new options for developing more effective psychological and physical patterns. This experiential course blends the slow, developmental movement of Body Centered Awareness with individual and group Gestalt work to address how habitual, unconscious beliefs and behaviors formed early in life lead to habitual ways of responding that limit life experience.



Through Body Centered Awareness and Gestalt Relational Process, we contact the here-and-now, where change and growth are possible. As we become more present in our bodies, we may discover blocks to feeling that are a result of painful memories.



Expanding the ability to tolerate and integrate what has been intolerable is the path to healing and growth. This is a relational process. Working in an empathic, supportive group setting creates a container in which new ways of moving and being can be expressed and explored.



This month will provide the experience of making contact with people who are present and accepting, making it possible to develop a greater capacity for more fulfilling relationships with self and others.



The first week of the program will focus on Body Centered Awareness to help create a foundation within for experiencing the Gestalt Relational Process to follow.
