Programs: What's Happening in the Living Library
Gestalt Practice Library and Resource Center offers opportunities to experience gestalt practice directly and connect with a wider community of participants and teachers. Our events are designed to complement the materials in the Archive by bringing the practice into real-time and shared space. The majority of programs are accessible only to GPLRC Members with occasional programs open to the general public.
Recurring Events
Essential Practices
The three essential practices in gestalt practice are Taking Our Seat, Basic Breath Practice, and Continuum of Awareness. In these gatherings we will explore some or all of these foundational experiences, usually with simple instruction, and sometimes with more in-depth description. See the calendar for dates, times, registration, and description of content.
Office Hours
Drop in to monthly Office Hours and explore GPLRC with support from our staff. Whether you're new to the Library or have been browsing for a while, this is an informal opportunity to ask questions, get oriented to the website, be introduced to new materials, and learn how to make the most of the Archive. Come for a few minutes or stay for the full session. No preparation required. Check the calendar for upcoming Office Hours.
Live at the Library
These gatherings highlight a topic, practice, or teacher from the Library archive. Each session draws directly from archival material and includes experiential inquiry. See the calendar for dates, times, registration, and a description of each theme.
From time to time, special events are offered featuring guest teachers, lineage interviews, or archive premieres. These sessions present rare materials alongside live dialogue and reflection. Special programs are featured on the homepage and posted on the calendar.
In 2025, before the Library officially opened, we held a series of Library events. These monthly online gathering included presentations, guided experiential exercises, and group discussion. These recordings are gradually being added to the Living Library page.
