Foundations of GPC with Tilda Norberg

This is the initial class for those interested in the practice of Gestalt Pastoral Care. One of the unique aspects of GPC Training is that while one is learning the integration of spiritual companioning, healing prayer, and Gestalt growth work for the purpose of helping others, one also has the opportunity to engage in his/her own spiritual growth and healing process.
