The interfaces of different disciplines connecting in ways that may be complementary, contrasting or a mixture of both will be the theme running throughout. Becoming aware, discovering meaning for ourselves in our current life-space and having plenty of inspirational interactions is the hope we hold for ourselves and group participants.

Keynote Session
Whole group experiment facilitated by BGS Committee Members.
We will explore how as Gestaltists we are relating and interacting with each other, both as practitioners and individuals. Among the themes that may emerge from our exploration are: how we integrate or differ from other disciplines and how the current political climate for psychotherapists is affecting us.

The programme will combine large groups, workshops and home groups. Evening events to include storytelling and Playback Theatre.
