The Gestalt Project

One of the VAGP’s central offerings is The Gestalt Project— a program of diverse seminars, ranging from the experiential, the ground-breaking and the transformative, and that also delve further into traditions while connecting them with new and evolving modalities.

These seminars are designed to be inspiring, interactive, highly informative and affordable, and form a large part of VAGP’s main aim to connect, learn and reflect together.
