NYIGT Welcome

We are the original Gestalt therapy institute, established by Fritz and Laura Perls in 1952.  As we were then, so are we now a membership organization which is a teaching/learning community where we explore ever-evolving Gestalt therapy theory as experiencable in and expressed through practice.  Anyone with an interest in Gestalt therapy is welcome to attend our meetings and programs.

Our meetings usually take place on the second Wednesday of the month at 8:30PM, though this year there will be three weekend meetings. Please see the full schedule by clicking "SCHEDULE OF MEETINGS" to your left. 

In addition to monthly meetings, we are planning several special events this year.  We hope you will join us for any of these which draws your interest.  For more information, please contact us.

We welcome you.

Save the Date!

Wednesday, May 8th, 8:45pm

Presenter: Carl Hodges
Toward a 'Global' Field: Cosmopolitans and Locals, Intermediaries and Bridges, Wholes and Parts, Processes and Events

20 West 20th Street, Suite 803,
New York, NY 10011

Using our experiences at the 2012 AAGT Conference in Mexico as part of an emerging map of the whole we call Earth, how do we re-create and engage ourselves to become more "citizens of the earth": more diverse, more(and less) different, and more contactful.

Or do we want to?

Part of the disposition of Cosmopolitanism is welcoming, graciousness, hospitality, and acceptance of differences in our meeting.

What are the wholes we are part of, what are the processes, what are the events we can support to emerge --through the quality of our "meeting", our contacting?
