GENERATING POWERFUL, POSITIVE CHANGE...

… in individuals, groups, organizations, and communities.

welcome to the gestalt institute of cleveland (gIC)

The Gestalt Institute of Cleveland is dedicated to promoting personal and professional growth, fostering meaningful relationships, and inspiring positive change in individuals, organizations, and communities through the application of Gestalt principles and practices.

“For over a decade I have been searching for the best ways to educate the brain’s empathic or “default mode” network. I have found that Gestalt provides the most powerful, and also the most comprehensive, training program. Gestalt reaches the parts of the brain that traditional education overlooks: the brain’s function core that is essential for resilience, motivation, well-being and consciousness. If you will let it, Gestalt has the power to transform your brain and your life.”
