In this workshop you will:

Practice the Awareness Continuum, shifting attention between the mental, sensory and bodily zones of experience

Recognize the conditioning that drives incessant mental chatter in yourself and your clients.

Discover when the mind is a tool, and when it gets in the way of living and healing

Bring Gestalt into your practice, deepening your presence with every client you sit with.

A workshop that will teach you to reach where traditional talk therapy cannot

Rooted in existential philosophy, humanistic psychology, and somatic work, Gestalt Therapy guides clients beyond the anxious mental chatter that fuels neurosis and into a richer awareness of their senses, emotions, and body.

Led by experienced Gestalt facilitator and CIIS faculty Srini Katragadda, this training equips you with powerful tools to help clients distinguish their authentic selves from their self-image and create real, lasting transformation. Move beyond surface-level talk therapy, deepen the work you do with every client, and build a practice that stands apart.

What previous attendees say:

Srini teaches the Gestalt class as a jazz musician plays on stage. He is so knowledgeable and has so much experience that he is able to improvise while attending to the here and now, using gestalt concepts, regardless of what direction the class takes. His demonstrations in class were powerful: he provided a safe space where several people seemed to have breakthroughs while surrounded by 15+ people. Quite masterful."

"Srini teaches by modeling. He lives Gestalt, shares examples from his personal and professional life, and makes space for each student to come to their own understanding and experience of Gestalt. He is clearly passionate about the subject matter, and his enthusiasm generates a creative and challenging (in a positive way) learning environment."

"Engaging speaker, excellent experientials. Deep dive into gestalt and client–centered approaches. Open–form discussions excellent for students who appreciate this mode of learning."

Bring Gestalt into your practice and create lasting change in yourself and your patients
