Dear Celia,
As a faculty member of the
Gestalt Institute of
Cleveland, it gives me a
great pleasure to tell you
that we have launched our
second training program
called "Becoming an
Effective Organization
Intervener" (BEI)
last week. This is a
9-month program. Many
people who signed up for
this program did so despite
the economic challenges that
have caused them to have
personal and career
stresses. But they saw this
as not only a transitional
but also a transformational
learning opportunity. Often
during hard time, we get to
find out what we are truly
made of. If we get beyond
the negatives, we can
actually see this as a
perfect time to find out who
we are, what dreams we have
and expand our capacity to
fulfill those dreams.
If you are interested in
retooling yourself for your
future but you may not be
ready to participate in a
9-month program, why not
come and join us in our
four-day workshop called,
"How to Have a
Better Impact and Influence
in the Work You Do"
on January 21 through 25,
2009 in Southern
California?
This workshop provides
experiential learning for a
few fundamental Gestalt
principles. Within a few
days, you will have a
life-changing experience
that will propel you to take
bigger steps toward your
goal as a professional and
as a human being.
I am sending this letter to
you because you have
supported me along my
learning journey. I want to
invite you to come or send
someone who can use an
uplifting experience in this
challenging time.
Please see more workshop
details below.
Along with a short essay
called "Books" following
this letter, I wish you a
peaceful and reflective
holiday season.
Love & Light,
President
Celia Young & Associates, Inc.

WHAT ARE YOU
READING?
Every time someone recommends a
book, I would panic a little
because I would have to add it
to the list of books that I have
not read. When I do have time
to read, I tend to read a wide
variety of books that fit my
mood in the moment. Often, I
would start several books at the
same time. Jumping from the
middle of one book to the next,
makes me feel like I am hopping
from one roof top garden to the
next among buildings. To expand
myself, I prefer to read
fictions, in addition
to professional books. I like
books that paint vivid pictures
as if I am part of the stories.
To expand my mind, I used to go
to Taos, New Mexico several
times a year. I would take a
writing class with my favorite
teacher Natalie Goldberg in the
morning. Then in the afternoon,
I would read books at Cafe Taza,
or tried my hand at writing. I
would just follow my mind and
let my hand keep moving.
Reading and sometime writing
increase my senses and
awareness. At the end of each
trip, I felt I was so close to
my "self" that my client work
became sharper and more
grounded.
Not too long ago, I finished
Lisa See's "Peony in Love".
Right now, I am near the end of
Amy Tan's "Saving Fish From
Drowning". I just started
Khaled Hossesini's "The Kite
Runner." I dream about all the
characters at night.
Tell me what you are reading. I
am sure I will have to add to my
list.
Peace

In this
modern world we live in, we

Regardless of what we do,
most of us want to make a
difference. Our success
often depends on our ability
to impact and influence our
environment effectively.
This workshop is designed to
help participants increase
their effectiveness at work
by introducing to them some
of the basic Gestalt theory,
concepts, methodology and
its application in the work
world.
Workshop Outcome
At the end of the
workshop, participants will
have:
- gained a
keener sense of awareness of
themselves and their
environment in assisting
them to see the choices they
have
- expanded
their ability to make
clearer and more effective
interventions in their work
- learned to
stop getting in the way of
their natural process of
work by trusting their own
and their clients'
experience
- become
bigger than the tools and
techniques they carry
- magnified
who they are, what they
already know and do, in a
more succinct manner.
