Dear Friends, Colleagues and Others,
We are inviting you to attend a three-day workshop: The Group as a Creative Community. The workshop will be directed by internationally recognized Artist and Gestalt Counselor, Gianni Capitani. This will be Gianni’s second time in Canada and we are extremely fortunate to have the chance to be part of an event directed by him.
For many of us, the rigours and demands of daily life leave us feeling tired and rigid, our creativity ignored. Gianni has more than 20 years of experience helping people awaken this creativity within and find a new appreciation of life and love by guiding them to a spiritual connection through art and movement. This workshop is a unique opportunity to experience how we can:
- give form to words and ideas through movement, repose, sound and silence
- find new ways to use colour, writing and space
- embody our spirituality through creativity and nature
- rediscover our sacred spontaneity
“As a therapist and counsellor, I highly recommend this course for anyone in the healing/helping professions. In my own case, Gianni’s workshop was pivotal to my growth into Gestalt and counselling. Playfully creative, the workshop opened my eyes and heart in ways I had not expected,” – Gabriela Garcia Yanez.
“When I was a kid I always liked to draw and paint, but I had pretty much left that behind in my childhood. After my first workshop with Gianni, I reconnected with my creativity and was able to see it in a new way, as this reconnection awakened in me a spirituality that had also been dormant. The work with Gianni was both fun and transformative.” – Tom Hunsberger
