NGV RadioNGV Radio S2E8 - Poetry as ConnectionThis 8th episode of the 2nd Season we feel we fucked it up, as it is really becoming too professional and smooth, we think. Or was it just a wonderful conversation with Rick Dove, flowing in such a way that it felt too good for our amateur radio skills?
Rick is a black, London based poet, who talks beautifully and inspiring about bringing his experience to an audience, managing to impact people with his words about race, or about capitalism, or about what he thinks that could agitate a crowd that needs some agitation :).

NGV RadioNGV Radio S2E7 - Polarization on both sides of the GlobeIn this week's broadcast, we meet with Lena Grigoreva and Elena Lasaja, two prominent gestalt therapists from Belarus, where chaos and divide have dominated communal life since August 9th 2020 and has polarized not only the political debate, but also everyday life, families, friendships, and personal experiences.
We will be exploring with them how they deal with that polarisation on different levels, how to support and lack support, and what they have learned from these recent experiences?
What can we bring from gestalt theory and practice to aid our understanding and provide support to those...2021-04-221h 27

NGV RadioNGV Radio S2E5 - HIV HistoryIn our 5th episode of Season 2, we're speaking with Ash Kotak, a gay man of Indian descent, who succesfully campaigned for the creation of a very first national Aids Memorial in London.
The Aids epidemic and how the world dealt with it or didn't deal with it, could learn us a lot in trying to understand how we should tackle this current global pandemic of Covid. And Ash points out so clearly how Aids, since it's emergence in the beginning of the 80's, has had his own global scale, of which many are far more unaware...2021-03-181h 32
NGV RadioNGV Radio S2E4 - Guest show with Kamila Bialy on Intergenerational DynamicsIn this 4th episode of Season 2, Kamila Bialy is again our guest host, having a conversation with young gestalt colleagues from both hemispheres, bridging morning, noon and evening in one show.
"In this second episode I would like to continue exploring with my Humans of Gestalt guests who we are as the younger generation of the world wide gestalt community, what our shared experience is, what our needs are, how we can support each other.
In the first episode, with my guests we identified some shared experiences, like a sense of being lost in the...2021-02-251h 33
NGV RadioNGV Radio S2E3 - Polarization and Non-DualityThe 3rd episode of our 2nd season is the first where we don't get out of our conversation for the entire show, apart from the short jingles. This might seem like an unimportant technical detail, but it actually says a lot about the flow and intensity of our conversation with Kristin Verellen. We had planned to cut to recordings brought to us by Ron Jesiolowski, who was so kind to provide us with a painting and a poem of his, but we realised the conversation needed to get all the space. Luckily we're in the process of planning a...2021-02-181h 32
NGV RadioNGV Radio S2E2 - Guest show with Kamila Bialy on Intergenerational DynamicsTonight we're airing our very first NGV Radio guest show, hosted by Kamila Bialy, from Poland!
Kamila, with the support of Thomas, will host two guest shows on the topic of generational dynamics. The second will air on 25th of February.
She got inspired to create this radio series through working on the Humans of Gestalt project:
“Doing Humans of Gestalt interviews I have experienced the expression of generational differences. It started to become clear to me that I am part of this younger generation, with a shared historical life experience as we...2021-02-041h 38
NGV RadioNGV Radio S2E1 - MalenessThe first show of our second season seems an effort, we have to search for our motivation and reflect on where and how we temporarily lost our excitement and how shame and being male might play a role in that.
After an intro, where we re-unite for the new season, we invite a dear gestalt colleague from Georgia, Zviadi 'Zeek' Ekizashvilli. We talk about being male in our current world and how that proves more difficult lately, despite the obvious priviliges we have. We talk about being male in the gestalt community and Zeek shares how it...2021-01-281h 32

NGV RadioNGV Radio S1E5 - Christmas episode, with our guest Santa!Christmas Edition!!
Santa is joining us in tonight's NGV radio episode, to discuss euh... well, what did we discuss? .. we had some real wishes from real children and we hoped to converse with Santa on a deeper level about how and why he serves those cute little children since all these years, but to be honest, it wasn't that easy to have a real conversation with Santa after all. You can listen for yourself.
Luckily we had some footage from Inge Van Droogenbroeck, a Belgian gestalt colleague who worked as a nurse in a...2020-12-171h 30
NGV RadioNGV Radio S1E4 - Addressing Race with a Descendant of the Mangrove 9In our fourth episode we are trying to have a conversation about race, with Nnandi Lecointe, a black UK-based trainee gestalt therapist. Nnandi talks about the legacy of being the daughter of one of the Mangrove 9, as featured in the recently released BBC/Amazon Prime film.
Trying to make sense of our male whiteness and our own racism, proved to be hard and sticky on a radio show. So much we could say about it here and so little that wouldn't be food for projections. So better you have a listen and find out yourself.

NGV RadioNGV Radio S1E2 - Recovering and ReflectingAfter a disastrous 1st episode on 24th of September 2020, where Murphy was on the controls, torpedoing all tech we had set up, making us loose half of our guests and all our nerves, we decided to cut ourselves some slack in the 2nd episode.
You'll hear us, John and Thomas, talk about this experience of trying to bring a radio show to the gestalt world and beyond, and you'll hear the story of how this all started in 2018.. or was it 2019?
Enjoy
