Gestalt as a Way of Life: The Magic and Sacred in Gestalt Therapy

Timeless understandings and practices developed by Gestalt Therapy founders, Fritz and Laura Perls in the 1940s, are more relevant now than ever. Similarities between Gestalt, Buddhist teachings, Eckhart Tolle's work, and indigenous ways will be covered.

Cyndy Sheldon, MSW, who studied with the Perls, founded the original Gestalt Institute of San Francisco in the 60s, and taught there as well as in Europe for many years. Later on in Arizona, while learning from traditional Navajos, she deepened her appreciation for these timeless understandings. Now she is eager to share the integration of all of these experiences. with those who are curious and interested.

The Transformative Power

of Original Play

Playshop—with O. Fred Donaldson, PhD

Seattle, Washington, January 15-17, 2010

As we grow past toddlerhood, most of us lose our ability to engage in joyful, instinctive play and begin playing the way we’ve been taught by our culture. Cultural play often escalates into win-lose contest behavior, or out-of-control situations.  In the book, Playing By Heart, The Vision and Practice of Belonging, O. Fred Donaldson describes how he re-learned original play from young children and wild animals.  The Playshop is excellent for parents, educators, counselors, teens and anyone who wants to enjoy life more. For more information see: http://www.originalplaynorthwest.org

Info and Registration pdf 

Original Play awakens our sense of joy, safety and connection in daily life.

 

Playshop Schedule

• Friday, Jan 15th—Presentation, 7:00 pm to 9:00

• Saturday, Jan 16th—Playshop, 9:30 am to 4:30 pm

• Sunday, Jan 17th—Playshop & Review,  1pm to 3pm

        Children 5-12 are welcome free of charge on Sunday

O. Fred Donaldson, Ph.D. has been studying the deep patterns of play for 30 years and has been a pioneer in the use of play as an alternative to competition, abuse, and aggression. Fred is an Aikidoist, author and educational consultant who is recognized internationally for his on-going research and play with children, adults, at-risk youth, and wild animals. He is featured in The Power of Play video from Animal Planet and The Intelligence of Play video from Touch The Future.
