A part of the whole, a part to play
Community, Practice and Life*
The 7th GANZ International Conference
2-5 September 2010
Guest Facilitator: Dr Gordon Wheeler
A residential, community gathering
at the Heritage Hotel in Queenstown, New Zealand
We need your support to bring the vision of the GANZ Conference to fulfillment. We have about 100 conference registrants who will form the dynamic community that will explore the conference themes together under the guiding inspiration of Dr Gordon Wheeler and the 22 experiential workshop facilitators. There is still time to come to Queenstown.
DR GORDON WHEELER TO PARTICIPATE IN GANZ CONFERENCE
Dr Malcolm Parlett will not be attending the GANZ Conference as previously advertised due to a serious family emergency. We are delighted to announce that Dr Gordon Wheeler has agreed to participate in the GANZ Conference. For the last 20 years Gordon and Malcolm have been leading contributors in advancing the themes integral to the 2010 GANZ conference. They are kindred spirits but with unique perspectives. The Conference theme was inspired by a chapter written by Malcolm in a book co-edited by Gordon.
Gordon has enthusiastically offered his services to the Conference and will support our discovery process via video-conference technology. There will be four, two hour plenary sessions during which Gordon will present his ideas, create experiential activities for further exploration and develop the emerging ideas in dialogue. He will be able to see and hear us, and we will be able to see and hear him for the entire two hour experiential process of each plenary. And as previously planned the Facilitation Group will support the process of inquiry and dialogue.
The content will remain profound and the process will be dynamic. We are confident that all those who attend will be participating in a unique and inspiring experience. Gordon is the visionary voice of Gestalt for the last 20 years; he has radically reshaped the foundation and form of Gestalt that has so influenced our contemporary theory and practice. In 2005 Gordon was the convener of “The Evolution of Gestalt” Conference at Esalen in which he posed the question “is there a connection between Gestalt’s elegant theory of human process and a viable living ethics for the world today”. He will bring many of his insights on this question to the GANZ2010 Conference.
We hope you will choose to be part of this ground breaking conference.
