Saturday Dreamwork Seminars
with Susan Jurkowski, LCSW, CGP, LP
Saturdays, 1 - 6PM
May 5, August 25 or November 3
Fritz Perls saw the images in a dream as potential projected parts of the dreamer, and the dream as an "existential message" about the dreamer's current way of living in the world. Jungian analyst Robert Bosnak sees dream images and processes as 'other,' and works to embody these dream others in a physical 'memory theatre' experience which can lead to profound transformations for the dreamer and others sharing the dream group experience. In these seminars, we will explore both approaches, working with actual dreams together and learning from a discussion of the work.
Fee: $100 per Seminar
True Love: A Dialogic Approach to Working with Couples
with Arleen Maiorano, LCSW, DCSW, LP
Saturdays, May 5 & 19, 2012, 12 – 3pm
Drawing from the writings of Martin Buber, we will explore the path toward the I-Thou meeting within the couple's relationship and its potential for the facilitation of "true love". Using case examples and structured Imago Relationship dialogues, we will discuss how to move from a protective style rooted in unhealed childhood trauma toward a mutual experience of curiosity, empathy, and respectful and ultimately healing dialogue. This workshop is also open to siblings, parents and children, and other dyadic relationships.
Fee for the 2 sessions: $125

WORKSHOPS, SPRING 2012
"Hotseat" Workshops: These workshop will use the “hotseat” model, as originally employed by Fritz Perls, and as modified over the past 40 years. Each participant will work directly with the therapist/s to explore and develop their experience using the Gestalt methodology. Material may include current life issues, dreams, present-centered experience, unfinished business, or whatever becomes figural in the moment. While this is not an interactive group, there will be opportunity for group interaction. Sessions may be videotaped with permission of the participant. Maximum of 8 participants.
Connie Newman, LMHC & Patricia Tucker, LCSW, January 28 & 29, 10am - 4pm
Alan Cohen, LCSW,
February 25 & 26, 10am - 4pm
Open Format: The specific content and format of this workshop will develop from the needs of the participants, guided by the understanding that our own clarity, realness, and willingness to be exactly where we are is what allows us to be of use to others.
Allen Whiteman, LCSW, February 11 & 12, 10am - 4pm
Interactive Group: This group will provide an exciting and challenging opportunity to work from our present experience, as personal reactions emerge toward members of the group or towards the group as a whole. Special emphasis will be placed on awareness of self and other, and on communication and family-of-origin patterns, in an effort to make the group a safe and productive environment that fosters effective, respectful dialogue and deepens individual work.
Arleen Maiorano, LCSW & Sue Friedberg, LCSW, March 17 & 18, 11 am - 3pm
Experiential Energy Work: This workshop will focus on Wilhelm Reich's influence on Gestalt therapy. Emphasis will be on emotion release, body experience and/or expression. This
work tends to be physical, intense and cathartic. The workshop is designed
for those interested in exploring this aspect of Gestalt theory.
John Mastro, LCSW, April 28 & 29
