In my Gestalt training I am experiencing the potential for real growth and change that is possible through authentic and meaningful contact with another. The course has far surpassed my expectations over the past four years. The training weekends provided a rigorous theoretical base with which one could engage practically in the context of a supportive training group. Having access to world class tutors has been fantastic and the facilities at Metanoia are excellent. The house, with its beautiful garden, is an inviting and inspiring space which creates a truly creative learning environment. It has, at times, been a struggle to manage a full-time job with the demands of the training. However, I have always felt encouraged by all those around me: the admin team; the tutors; and especially my own training group. The training has also been an invaluable asset to me in my “day job” and has enriched my life in more ways than I have room to document here. Suffice to say, it has been a fantastic journey which continues to shape my path and guide my way.
