With Dori Middleman, MD, Mark Putnam, MD, Melody Schaper, MFA, RSMT and Liz Hess, LCSW

This one-of-a-kind workshop offers you the opportunity to learn the whys and hows of Gestalt practice and theory in a hands-on, immersive experience. You will have the opportunity to participate in group work or individual work with the Pennsylvania Gestalt Center’s Faculty and discuss the Gestalt theory behind what the faculty offers.

Through this process you will experience first hand the powerful, creative, versatility of using Gestalt therapy to deal with a variety of challenges. Many people have described this workshop as being “transformative” and “life changing”.

We know that investing in yourself is key to sustainable success and personal satisfaction. Attending this experiential teaching workshop is a great opportunity to walk away with career-changing skills and tools for personal growth.

Cost: $350 and includes healthy and delicious meals

Note: This weekend program starts the first year of our three-year certificate program in Gestalt therapy. Some students elect to complete just the first year, which provides a valuable Training experience in itself. However, by attending this workshop, you are under no obligation to begin the program.

Come join us and create the life you’ve always wanted! You will develop enhanced competencies in self-awareness and confidence, improve your personal presence and the ability to impact others, and increase your capacity to act with clarity and purpose. It’s an opportunity for an ongoing intensive professional and personal growth process supervised by two master practitioners, Dori Middleman MD, and Mark Putnam, MD.
