Dialogues in Toulouse #2

Posted on by

“The present arises only through the continued presence of YOU” Martin Buber.

What does a person need? Balance of stability and novelty. And also the opportunity to share both with those close in spirit and others in perception. What does a person who is tired of too much uncertainty need, when long-term efforts to adapt exhaust the body, and stability never comes?

In the era of non-human-sized speeds that are changing the world in which we live, there is a catastrophic lack of time to notice our own changes.

“Dialogues in Toulouse No. 2” invites practicing Gestalt therapists (both new and experienced) to explore the professional transformations to which we are all inevitably subject.

To this end, we are launching the “Therapeutic Stories” format about how clients influence therapists, about professional transformations, about preventing burnout and all stages of professional deformation.

The program includes 3 topics for polylogues:

  1. A pandemic of meaninglessness. Identity crisis.
  2. Resources of despair.
  3. Order from chaos. Image of the future.

The event format includes:

  • Dialogue or polylogue on one of the specified topics;
  • Discussion in discussion groups;
  • Presentation of a therapeutic story (case);
  • Group discussion;
  • Morning and evening “madness” (bodily practices).

Maximum number of participants: 45 people.
