Learn About Gestalt Therapy
Salon Series
GTILA presents a series of salons which provide an opportunity to learn about some aspect of Gestalt Therapy in a relaxed, informal setting. Salons are free for GTILA members on a first come, first serve basis (members must log in, and check the salon promo code page for their member code), and others may attend for a minimal fee. All people interested in Gestalt Therapy are welcome to attend Salons. GTILA does not discriminate in its education or membership activities based on race, national or ethnic origin, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, or any other characteristic or non dominant cultural identity.
Beginning in 2022, most past salons will be recorded and available to members as a part of their membership benefits. To access past salon recordings, log in to your GTILA account and visit the Salon Recordings page.

Join us on October 20th as Lynne Jacobs engages with the GTILA community in an enriching two-part salon series dedicated to the legacy of Erv Polster. Experience a heartfelt conversation exploring the profound impact Erv had on one of the foremost voices in Gestalt Therapy. Lynne reflects on their spirited discourses surrounding the nuances of theory and practice, which were not only enjoyable but also deeply enlightening.
“We used love to argue with each other about the theory and practice of gestalt therapy. That was always fun and enriching. Meanwhile, I was learning from him about the superlative joys of small moments.” – Lynne Jacobs
