Abstract
This study aimed to promote the personal development of undergraduate Psychology students through a Gestalt-oriented workshop. The group consisted of 30 individuals, ranging in age from 20 to 26 years. This pre-experimental study employed a pretest-posttest design with a single group. The level of blocks in the experience cycle before and after the workshop was assessed using Salama's Gestalt Psychodiagnostic Test (2006). The adjectives used to define the state of consciousness during the evaluations were analyzed using categories proposed by Jiménez, Vázquez & Hernangómez (1998), showing a decrease in cognitive blocks and an increase in the awareness function.
