CYNDY SHELDON has been a pioneer and teacher in the field of Gestalt training and therapy. As the co-founder of the original Gestalt Institute of San Francisco, she is committed to the Gestalt way of living and working. I have known her in several capacities and the one that stands out is her role as a mentor and teacher for those of us who were new in the field. She is gifted and talented!

Cyndy co-facilitated a Strategy Session for a follow up to a recent community-wide David Korten presentation in Bellingham. The purpose of this session was to bring community leaders working for sustainability, social justice and wisdom community together to experience envisioning and collaborating in an interactive workshop setting. Though the scope of this endeavor was expansive and diverse, there was a palpable energy and excitement generated by the processes Cyndy brought to this session. The small group reports were rich with ideas and possibilities for synchronizing and calibrating community projects. There was a desire expressed to follow up this follow up. It was a big step forward for community building in Bellingham.
