Learning hosts and faculty
Greta Rask and Lennart Wärmlind are your learning hosts. You will meet a number of Gestalt Practitioners from around the world during the program who will share their take on Gestalt Theory and Methodology along with real life cases.
Michael Randel
Growing up in several countries taught me about boundaries and the challenges of crossing into new territories—geographical, cultural, and organizational. This global perspective shapes how I approach and work with change in complex environments. Gestalt guides my practice as a change consultant, helping me understand that transformation happens through awareness of what emerges in each moment. Working with clients across twenty countries, I've seen how leaders can navigate change with calm and confidence through deeper awareness. I look forward to co-hosting this learning journey with you.
About the Faculty
They represent a variety of cultures, backgrounds and passions, and are all firmly grounded in Gestalt Theory and Methodology.
Karen Soderberg Hinchliffe
My training in Gestalt began with a less-than-positive experience of a gestalt-trained practitioner. A strategy consultant and MBA from a long line of entrepreneurs, I had to first confront my own resistances before fully embracing Gestalt and the extent of its impact on individuals, organizations and their advisors. After chapters leading teams in Sweden, England, South Korea and Taiwan, I now live in the USA and offer decision-support to executives wrestling with challenges, big and small. I readily collaborate with a world of gestalt-informed organizational practitioners and human beings.
Heather Anne Keyes
I am a neuroqueer Canadian/Mexican Gestalt therapist working online in private practice. I’m the founder and coordinator of the Humans of Gestalt project and the founding president of the Asociación Mexicana de Psicoterapia Gestalt. With experience as an academic coordinator, research advisor, and faculty member at Gestalt institutes around the world, I’ve been organizing international, regional, and online Gestalt learning events for over 15 years. My work is grounded in the principles of anti-oppression, trans-inclusive feminism, decolonization, and social justice. My absolute favorite subjects to explore with learning groups are humour and relationship dynamics.
David Picó Vila
I am a psychologist and Gestalt psychotherapist based in Valencia, Spain. I work in private practice and also offer online sessions. I hold a PhD in computer science, specializing in artificial intelligence, and spent several years as a university professor before dedicating myself fully to psychotherapy. I am also a pianist and singer, with a particular interest in expressiveness and voice work. I have served on the board of the EAGT and am a member of several Gestalt associations. Over the years, I have initiated various projects to support Gestalt therapy through technology, including a bibliographic database, a Spanish-language network for sharing information about Gestalt therapy, and most recently, Evinotes — an app designed for recording clinical sessions.

Shanaaz Majiet
I feel passionate about doing human better, as the work of our time. For three decades I enjoyed the privilege of trust in supporting leadership teams within large complex government systems in South Africa. I love mobilizing energy for inter-generational bridge building work, curating coalitions for change with civil society, global networks and partners to transform the way we live in the world. This work invites me into the realities of citizens, organizations, teams and leaders and I deeply respect the power of possibility.
At the heart of all this, my mission comes alive: To facilitate meaningful connection for purposeful collaboration and collective action. Gestalt has woken me up to be deliberate in ways of making a difference with my presence and working with difference more skilfully. I look forward to connect with you on our common learning journey.
Johan Holm
I support individuals, teams, and organizations in developing their capacity to lead, learn, and collaborate in the midst of change. I’ve had the opportunity to design leadership programs, support executive teams, and walk alongside clients as they explore how to lead with more awareness and intention. My work is shaped by Gestalt, behavioral science, and design thinking — and a growing interest in what makes meaningful collaboration possible across boundaries. I teach at the Stockholm School of Economics and contribute to the Inner Development Goals initiative, where I continue to learn about how inner development can support sustainable transformation.
Eugenio Moliní
I have worked as an OD consultant since 1990. For the first decade, I used only a Gestalt approach. When I began working with change in large, complex systems, I discovered its limits and gradually integrated tools from Complexity Science, Network Analysis, Constraints Theory, and Inter-contextuality. This blend became my way of designing and facilitating transformational processes. I focus on helping structured systems (like companies or NGOs) evolve to leave a better trace, and on enabling robust collaboration in fuzzy, multi-stakeholder systems (like territories or markets). I’ve worked across Europe, mainly in Sweden and Spain, and also in Africa and Latin America.
Kubeshni Govender
I am a management consultant, facilitator, and coach deeply rooted in Gestalt Organisational Development. With extensive expertise in knowledge management, leadership, and communications, I support clients in the public and civil society sectors. I explore how trauma and life experiences shape our narratives and relationships. Through reflective awareness, I help clients navigate complexity, conflicts, and resistance with courage. My practice guides individuals and teams towards clarity and intentional change, aligning authentic awareness with meaningful action.
Carina Livh
Early in my professional career, I began to explore how my own presence and awareness influenced my relationships, my way of relating to myself, and my actions. As a management consultant, I was expected to be a specialist who operated on the belief that change is created through goal setting, detailed planning, pushing, and individual effort and achievement. But I began to have doubts. Since completing my Gestalt training, I have supported change and transformation in organizations through an approach that embraces complexity, focuses on the present moment, encourages co-creation, and follows the energy of what is emerging. I strongly believe these are qualities organizations need to meet future challenges and opportunities.
HOSTS
Lennart Wärmlind
From an early age, I began to realize how differently we perceive reality. Growing up in Sweden with parents from diverse backgrounds, helped me see that there are many ways to interpret and approach the world. These complexities led me to intuitively use all my senses to make meaning of what happened within and around me, especially in collaborative processes with others. Building on this foundation, along with my Gestalt training, I now support leaders and teams from around the world in leading themselves and collectively navigating complexity. I hope that co-hosting this initiative with Greta will nurture your awareness and support more conscious co-creation. (www.videcio.se)
Greta Rask
As human beings we search for meaning and we want to have a say in matters that concern us. This belief has guided me in my work with leaders and teams for the past 34 years. Working in organizations on all continents, supporting people that have urgent and challenging tasks to handle, inspires me to hold on to my aspiration: Rethinking how we lead, organize and collaborate is both essential and possible. And in every moment of my work I am supported by Gestalt. To quote a Gestalt colleague, for me “Gestalt is an applied philosophy for living. It is about health, vibrancy, good form and passion.” I look forward to hosting this explorative learning journey together with Lennart. (www.raskutveckling.com)
