AI isn’t just coming, or coming fast. It is here. Even if we don’t access it, or like it. And it is not so much our accessing AI, but how it is accessing us. Within our daily lives. > > How do we experience this as Gestalt therapists? How might AI impact Gestalt therapy communities all over the world? > > This special event will: > > Explore a phenomenology of embodied experience in relation to AI; > Consider how to integrate Gestalt theory into clinical practice within a situated world of AI; > Identify new developments in AI and how we may understand these in terms of field emergence; > Explore whether as Gestalt therapists we may creatively interact with AI; > Ask “Can AI be ethical?” and “Can an AI landscape be relational and field-emergent?” > > How do we want to participate in the unfolding of this new lifeworld? And who are we becoming right now, as Gestalt therapists in this changing landscape? > > Biographies: > > Maciej Lukaszewicz is a fourth-year student at Wielkopolska Szkoła Psychoterapii Gestalt (WSPG) in Poznań, Poland.
