THE BODY SHOP:
Explorations in Intimacy for Couples
Esalen Institute - Big Sur, CA
Sunday to Friday, August 16-August 21, 2009
Presenters: Stella Resnick & Alan Kishbaugh
Love in all its incarnations—as attachment, romance, friendship, eroticism, sexual union, and spiritual attunement—are all body-based experiences. Being a part of a loving couple is the ultimate evolutionary opportunity to heal old body-mind wounds and to share nurturing pleasures.
We'll begin with a brief look at what modern neuroscience tells us about how our pre-verbal past is programmed into our brain and nervous system. We'll see how the past is present in how we form emotional attachments, handle stress, convey love, and relate to sexual pleasure.
Utilizing partnered and solo exercises, imagery, empathic touch, music, movement, and Gestalt processing we'll explore:
• Empathy and mutual attunement
• Balancing intimacy and privacy
• Attachment styles and differences in emotional needs
• Differences in sexual desire
• Emotional and sexual fulfillment
Stella Resnick, Ph.D. is a psychotherapist in Beverly Hills specializing in relationship and sexual enhancement. She is the author of The Pleasure Zone,a past-president of the Western Region of the Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality, and an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist and Clinical Supervisor.
Alan Kishbaugh is a writer with many years of experience in book publishing and in urban planning, parkland, and open space preservation. He and Stella have been married for twenty-four years and have led couple's seminars together for even longer.

NEW IN 2009 GATLA IS DELIGHTED TO HAVE SEVERAL “GESTALT ELDERS” AS OUR GUESTS during parts of our 12-day Gestalt Program. They are Gestalt teachers, most of whom were trained by Fritz, and/or Laura Perls, Jim Simkin, and Isadore From. They have all made important contributions to Gestalt Therapy. The Elders will have the opportunity to supervise some trainees, sit in on groups and add their perspectives, give evening presentations and add an unparalleled richness to our community. There will be opportunities to talk, eat, “schmooze” and laugh with these honored guests. In 2009 we will be hosting Edwin Nevis, Sonia Nevis, Gaie Houston, Frances Baker, Joseph Handlon, Isabel Fredericson and perhaps Abe Levitsky. We are really excited about this cross-generational exchange.
A. COUPLES THERAPY TRAINING WORKSHOP FOR THERAPISTS:
JULY 5-11, 2009: “A Couple of Individuals”
Bob and Rita Resnick will begin the workshop with an overview of their model of relationships and couples therapy. Live and video demonstrations will follow on each day. All clinical work will be related to the theoretical presentations, hopefully both more meaningful. Discussion and comparison of this model with other approaches to couples therapy (including classical and modern Psychoanalytic models, Cognitive Behavioral, Systemic, Postmodern, and other Gestalt Therapy models etc.), will be encouraged.
Basic group participants will be given time to work “hands on” with role-play couples with faculty supervision.
Advanced participants, in 2009, will be given significantly more practice time to work with the Model Couples under the supervision of Bob and Rita Resnick.
Small process groups for discussion and processing of personal reactions to the work and the theory are a daily occurrence. The Resnicks are interested in integrative similarities and well as differences that define.

GESTALT CENTER FOR ORGANIZATION & SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT
GO TO HTTP://WWW.GESTALTOSD.ORG FOR REGISTRATION AND INFORMATION ON ALL AVAILABLE OFFERINGS
OSD PROGRAM XVIII (STANDARD FORMAT) BEGINS SEPTEMBER 2009. The Gestalt Institute of Cleveland’s Organization and Systems Development Training Program was the first training program in the world to integrate Gestalt theory, systems theory, and organization development theories into a coherent curriculum in the field of organizational change consulting. Our perspective provides individuals with the theory, concepts, methodology, skills, and techniques for effectively intervening at the individual, two-person, group, and organizational and larger levels of systems. It offers a unique Gestalt OSD framework for designing interventions, managing change, and developing professionals in the systems within which we live and work. Current training programs conducted by the Center reflect a 30-year evolution of concept application, teaching strategies, hands-on skill enhancement, and opportunities for both personal and professional growth. Our aspiration is that through increased awareness, knowledge, and skill, individuals can walk into a room containing any number of people anywhere in the world and make a difference with their presence. Go to www.gestaltosd.org to register or for more information.
Our ninth INTERNATIONAL OSD PROGRAM started up this May with 30 enthusiastic participants from the US and from around the world -- Yemen, South Africa, Ghana, the UK, Canada, Ireland, Hungary, Italy, and Russia. Co-Sponsored by the Gestalt International Study Center (GISC), the International OSD Program offers intensive, international-based training that draws heavily from the Gestalt Center for Organization & Systems Development Program, which was the first to apply Gestalt principles to the field of organizational consulting. Some of our participants are undoubtedly taking this outstanding opportunity to hone their international and cross-cultural consulting skills and enhance their professional networks in uncertain economic times. Faculty for the International OSD program include representatives from four continents, and the 150 graduates of the program to-date are living and working across the globe. The program consists of five week-long sessions over the span of 16 months, with each session held in a different country. This year, the program began in Lisbon, Portugal, and will travel to Hungary and the Republic of South Africa for the next two sessions. The program demands careful advance planning of administrators, faculty, and participants. Those interested in joining us for our next program (International OSD X) are strongly urged to begin looking into program requirements and talking with faculty and staff in advance. Please review our current program brochure, available on our website at http://www.gestaltosd.org, or contact the Registrar, at osdregistrar@gestaltosd.org or at 440.205.8606, who will put you in touch with a faculty member to discuss your questions and needs.
INTERN/TRAINEE COUNTERTRANSFERENCE GROUP - A gestalt therapy process group focusing on reactions to work with clients. Begins September, 2009. Monthly sessions, Fridays, 3:00-6:00 P.M. in Encino, California (suburb of Los Angeles). NICKIE GODFREY 818/783-5470 or e-mail nickiegodfrey@yahoo.com
