SAT Programme by Claudio Naranjo

🤔 Insight alone rarely changes anything. Direct experience does. This is the conviction Claudio Naranjo, psychiatrist and thinker, carried with him after training directly with Fritz Perls, one of the founders of Gestalt therapy.

From that foundation, Naranjo built something broader. The SAT weaves together several lineages into a single path: the Enneagram to understand the structure of the personality, Gurdjieff's three centers of intelligence, thought, emotion and body, to work as a whole being rather than through the mind alone, and Vajrayana meditation to cultivate presence.

Around this core, each activity, therapeutic theatre, bodywork, meditation practice, engages a different center of intelligence, so that understanding doesn't stay theoretical. It's this integration across body, emotion and mind that makes the SAT Programme distinct.

📅 Next SAT 1 will take place from September 25 to October 3, in Bavaria.

💫 SAT 1 is coming to Germany very soon ! A journey into the Enneagram of personality, woven together with spontaneous movement, therapeutic theatre and Buddhist meditation.

Registrations are still open.

📅 Two SAT trainings coming up at ZIST in Germany : SAT 1 - self-awareness and vitality, and Archeology of Love, a SAT Special on relationships and intimacy. Both open for registration.

👉🏻 Before joining a programme built around inner transformation, it's worth knowing what you're actually stepping into.

The SAT Programme was developed by Claudio Naranjo, a psychiatrist and thinker whose work bridged modern psychotherapy and contemplative practice. It unfolds through progressive modules, each building on the last, designed to loosen old patterns and open space for something more creative to emerge.

Several facilitators lead the work, drawing on Naranjo's thinking as a reference, not a doctrine. Seekers of truth, in the truest sense : searching together, questioning together.

💫 Seeking to know oneself in one's entirety, rather than in just one part of oneself; this is an idea Naranjo drew, at a distance, from Gurdjieff, and made accessible through the Enneagram and Gestalt.

This is precisely what SAT work invites us to do: reopening the closed rooms of our inner house, so we can inhabit our wholeness again, and connect more deeply with others.

📅 SAT 1 - September 25 to October 3, ZIST, Bavaria.

💫 The first SAT 1 at Les Jardins Intérieurs, in Ardèche, has come to an end. An intense week of therapeutic theatre, encounters, and inner work, led by our facilitators.

Thank you to the venue for this warm first welcome and to all participants!

👉See you in September for the next SAT 1, at ZIST in Bavaria

🤝 Two institutes, one shared vision.

For 2 years, Institut Hoffman & SAT France and ILFG have been actively collaborating. Trainers and future Gestalt therapists come to train in the Enneagram within SAT.

This collaboration came about naturally. Gestalt deeply shaped Claudio Naranjo's journey and remains at the heart of SAT. As for the Enneagram of personality, it enriches the work of self-knowledge and understanding of others, two dimensions essential to the therapeutic alliance and to Gestalt practice.

Beyond the methods, it's a shared intention that brings us together: accompanying people with depth, humanity, and awareness.

💜 When asked what the SAT programme gave her, Jasmin doesn't offer easy answers or certainties; she talks about a shift, a turn of her gaze from the outside to the inside.

📅 Next SAT 1 will take place at the end of September, at ZIST, in Bavaria.
