BGJ Writing Academy – a new initiative

We are launching a new collective for Gestalt practitioners and trainees who want to refine their writing skills, work towards publication, and belong to a supportive writing circle.

We will be offering online day courses and writing labs as well as in-person workshops and residentials to nurture your craft, grow your confidence and to support the emergence and contribution of your unique writing voice within and beyond the Gestalt community.
