This workshop invites mental health clinicians into an experiential exploration of healing that integrates Gestalt theory, Indigenous healing traditions, and contemporary research into consciousness and noetic experience. Grounded in field-theoretical and relational frameworks, the training examines how shifts in awareness, meaning, and felt sense often function as central mechanisms of therapeutic change — particularly in the treatment of trauma and relational wounding.
Participants will examine how Western mental health models have been shaped by colonial, mechanistic, and reductionist assumptions that frequently marginalize spiritual, ecological, and transpersonal dimensions of experience. We will explore research and frameworks that recognize healing is not limited to symptom reduction; it involves a reorganization of one's relationship to self, others, and environment
Through didactic teaching, experiential exercises, and reflective inquiry, clinicians will develop more expansive and culturally responsive approaches to practice — learning to apply trauma-informed and non-pathologizing frameworks that honor Indigenous epistemologies, engage embodied and symbolic dimensions of healing, and contribute to the ongoing decolonization of mental health care.
