 Features of the Conference programme:
AnInvitation to Participate Gestalt Australia New Zealand (GANZ) is a professional organisation for Gestalt Therapists and people who use Gestalt approaches. GANZ is supported by over ten training centres and growing community of practitioners and students. The second GANZ conference is an opportunity to gather, learn and develop within the wider field. We offer Dreaming as the theme for the Conference to celebrate the Ground on which weíll meet. Dreaming is of fundamental significance for the Aboriginal and Islander peoples of Australia, interweaving their history, law, dance and song, and expressing spiritual connection with, and responsibility for, the land of which they are a part. There are echoes of Dreaming in Gestaltís field theory and holism, in Buberís dialogue, and the social action of Lewin and Goodman. In therapy practice, the personal and transpersonal is often explored through metaphors, fantasy, dreams, movements, and the arts. Part of the Conference process will allow us to dream the future of Gestalt, giving direction for a community based Annual General Meeting of GANZ early on Friday evening. Features of the Conference programme: Three broad streams of experiential workshops and papers, with over 30 presenters from eight countries, including Barry Blicharski, Bea Mackay, Brenda Levien, Claudia Rosenbach-Ziembinski, Jan Ruckert, Joe Melnick, Larry Kalender, Ole Ry Nielsen, Sue Clayton, Trish Nolan, and Yaro Starak. Clinical Practice and Health (Friday 18, all day): Education and Training (Saturday 19 am): Organisations and communities (Saturday 19 pm): A conference process that follows a gestalt cycle, including a welcome ritual, times in lightly facilitated process groups for reflecting, connecting, and reporting, and a closing review and reflection as a community. A dinner dance (Saturday evening) held at The Summit Restaurant, Mt Cootha, overlooking Brisbane and environs. The conference programme will commence on Thursday evening 17 August at 5.30pm, with a reception and light refreshments. This will be followed by a welcoming process, including a ceremony with the traditional owners of the land at 6.30pm, and which all registrants are encouraged to attend. Friday and Saturday programs will most likely extend from 9 am to 6 pm and Sunday will conclude at around midday followed by light refreshments.
