The Galli Method®

The Galli Method® makes the light-heartedness and liveliness of spontaneous acting the basis for creating conflict resolution and personal growth. By acting out your inner characters you develop the ability to see your own true self. As a result, you may come to change your current life situation. It may sound paradoxical, but it is true:
Acting allows the genuine person to appear

After many years of intensive work Johannes Galli developed an extensive method for personal growth that can facilitate a marked transformation in all areas of a person’s life. We come to realize that real communication happens through the symbolic language of feelings, which are always expressed through body language. Thus, Johannes Galli shows with his methods of spontaneous acting how to become aware of our body language and that of others to playfully solve conflicts in all areas of life.

The Galli Method® is applied in education, prevention, healthcare, intercultural communication, consulting, organisational training and development and media production.
Founded by Johannes Galli in the early 80ties, the Galli Group represents in its projects the founder’s maxim: Acting allows the Genuine Person to Appear!

Johannes Galli has released several books, workbooks and a CD series on the different aspects of the Galli Method®. A list of all products is available through the Galli Publishing House:

Galli Method®-Workshops
