In this 8-week group, you will use Focusing to transform a significant issue in your life, in part by deepening your access to Self through the 8Cs of Self-Leadership. The 8Cs are calmness, connectedness, curiosity, clarity, compassion, confidence, courage and creativity.

By crossing these qualities with our issue, we move through it by pausing, understanding the issue, transforming it, and then preparing for action, and finally taking action.

Your issue can be working towards a personal or professional goal. However, the course is designed in such a way that you can also bring a different topic each week to your Focusing, and concentrate on building your 8Cs which help you live as your Self more often.

Nie ma drogi do pokoju.To pokój jest drogą. - Mahatma Gandhi 
Focusing jest taką pokojową drogą … praktyką sztuki zatrzymywania się, pauzą, zwalnianiem w całym momentum zabiegania i wymagań dnia … nieustannym powracaniem do odczuwania siebie … i to pomaga nam uczyć się wracać do obecności, otwartości … odnawiać z ufnością świadomość, że dookoła nas …i wewnątrz nas ... w skupieniu, w tym specjalnym czasie, który na to przeznaczamy …jesteśmy bliżej pokoju. Pokoju ze sobą samą, samym i pokoju ze światem…i tyle możemy zrobić … tylko … albo aż …

Listen to your body Marie Connors
Focusing is a powerful method of self-discovery that places great significance on our own personal experiences. By tuning into our bodily sensations, we can gain valuable insights and guidance. Marie, will guide us through the process of Focusing and help us uncover the wisdom that our bodies already possess. Through this practice, we can better understand and navigate through situations that may leave us feeling confused or uncertain. By tapping into our inner resources, we can unlock a wealth of knowledge and clarity that resides within us.

Focusing is a process of allowing our bodies to show us the way to deeper self-knowledge and healing. It is a doorway to your true self. Our bodies have their own consciousness, aliveness, and intelligence. They carry wisdom and

Focusing is one of the few things that work well over Zoom, but even so, there's something particularly lovely about coming into a physical space and Focusing in person. My body always breathes out a deep sigh when I unlock the door and walk into this space where I've Focused so many times. It's as if my body is saying, "Ah, here!"

TAE Academy The International Focusing Institute Events
The 2024 TAE Academy took place in January. YOU MAY REGISTER FOR THE RECORDINGS which remain available through April 30, 2024.

This online Academy will allow you to both take a deep dive into TAE, and also to get a broad experience of outstanding teachers from all over the world.

TAE is a practice developed by Gene Gendlin and Mary Hendricks-Gendlin. It is related to Focusing but has a different emphasis. Both are grounded in the “felt sense,” that murky sense of something you know which is not yet in words. With TAE, we intentionally and systematically build upon that not-yet-articulated place to allow for something new to be brought into the world.

The Main Classes are intended as live experiences, so please block out the time for those

Annette Dubreuil leadership
In this ten-week Focusing course, we learn to use self-regulation and co-regulation to affect the interactions in our relationships. You can explore any relationships, including those that include power (leaders and employees, teacher and students, parent(s) and children).

The goal is to use emotional regulation to create safe and connected relationships that allow for creativity and action to flow.

reves Alexandre
Les rêves fascinent depuis la nuit des temps, ils sont mystérieux, messagers, et parfois nous laissent une sensation étrange au réveil. Dans une vidéo en ligne intitulée Dream open doors to focusing (les rêves ouvrent les portes du focusing), Gendlin dit qu’une manière d’apprendre le focusing consiste de partir des rêves, car chaque rêve vous donne un ou plusieurs sentiment bizarres”.
