Why come to a Gestalt Research Conference
From our supporters
“I would like to come because this conference brings together international Gestalt research and practice in ways that stay close to aesthetic experience. I am particularly interested in practitioner research, qualitative inquiry, and phenomenological approaches that arise from clinical and organisational work and meaningfully inform Gestalt therapy theory and practice. I am committed to Gestalt as a philosophical orientation to life and living, and I value gatherings that support careful inquiry, dialogue, and connection across the global Gestalt community.“
Claire Spiller
Current Secretary, New York Institute for Gestalt Therapy (NYIGT), United Kingdom, ECP, UKCP and EAGT accredited
“This conference is a unique opportunity to strengthen the evidence base of Gestalt therapy and serves as an ideal platform for networking with the global research community.“
