Gestalt Therapy arose during the fifties and is part of The Human Evolution Movement. Risking Being Alive brings the process of self-mastery within reach of all those who wish to take control of their destiny and live a full and abundant life. The German word “Gestalt” means “form, figure or shape”.

“I work with concrete reality now and trust what I see and feel rather than what I think I see and feel. Poetic abstractions can still trap me, but much less than before.”
—James Oldham

“As I write I ask myself—where am I now? And the answer—I am in process. I will be in process until the end of my days. The difference in my being and living now is that I am able to respond clearly and accurately.”
—Yaro Starak

“My fear was that I would lose some of my clarity and strength; this fear appears to be unfounded, I am much more wiling to trust myself now and I believe there is very little that I could not do if I but chose to.”
—Tony Key
