I have a vision for the birth of Hegel's Hotel as a 'real, live, structural entity' that I am trying to place in East Gwillibury on a rustic, romantic-spiritual property....
The vision -- or the dream -- is something in the mold of what Fritz Perls created on Vancouver Island at the end of his life, in the form of a 'Gestalt Community'....
In effect, a strived-for, idealistic, mini-Utopia.
A place where people for a day, an evening, a weekend, or part of a lifetime....
Can get away from the more urbanized, dehumanized, 'Civilization and Its Discontents'.
What I am looking for, in essence, is a 'spiritual-soul oasis and re-energizer'...
With different professional schools of psychology contributing their particular perspective or 'paradigm' to a larger, 'multi-dialectic-interactive-integrqtive perspective/paradigm 'housed' on a romantic-spiritual-rural property that will be called 'Hegel's Hotel'....
People can come in to hear a Psychoanalyst speak...
Or a Gestalt Theorist/Therapist...
Or an Adlerian Theorist/Therapist....
Or a 'Cognitive-Language-Behavioral Choice' Theorist/Therapist...
Or a 'Humanistic-Existential Theorist/Therapist..
Or a 'Spiritual Philosopher'............
There will be interactions between professionals from different paradigms each stimulating each other in a direction of future, interactive-integrative evolutionary growth...
There will be interactions between professionals and the interested lay public....
And/or students striving to become 'mental-emotional-spiritual-behavioral professionals'...in the paradigm of their choice, or the newly evolving, interactive-integrative paradigm of'Hegel's Hotel: The GAP-DGB Philosophy-Psychology Association-Society-Institute'...
This is the next phase of 'The Hegel's Hotel Dream'...
The hardest part of The Hegel's Hotel Dream....
Putting it into reality, and into action....
I am looking for any and all interested persons -- professional practitioners and/or lay persons who would like to help me make this dream -- come true and real.
Come one, come all...
