Relationships: Your Greatest Challenge—And Opportunity
Every relationship struggle you face isn't just a problem—it's a doorway. On the other side lies what you've been searching for: deeper connection, authentic expression, and the intimacy that makes life rich. You sense this truth already, don't you?
Growing Closer gives you a map when the path feels unclear. This isn't another course telling you what's wrong with your relationships. It's a warm invitation to finally feel at home with others by first coming home to yourself.

Untangling® Retreats are 6-day residential retreats; intensive workshops for people with Focusing experience who want to apply our Untangling® method to life’s most hard-to-change issues.
We’ve been teaching Untangling® Retreats in 15 countries over the past 25 years, helping many hundreds of people learn our method, getting responses like this one from Paul Fitzgerald: "The experience was like a dissolving of an old way of seeing life and having new eyes to engage life with more freedom. I'd highly encourage anyone interested in deepening their Focusing to take this course."
We believe that transformation occurs most readily in an atmosphere of respect, acceptance, openness, warmth, playfulness, and support. Our mission is to enable you to

En tiempos donde todo parece ir hacia afuera, la propuesta de esta Jornada es una invitación a volver: hacer un espacio, escuchar lo sutil y dejarnos guiar por la sabiduría del cuerpo.
Cada encuentro será una oportunidad para reconectar, compartir caminos y recordar que no estamos solos en este proceso de vivir, con mayor presencia y sentido.

El Focusing y la espiritualidad se unen como un camino de interioridad que utiliza la sabiduría corporal para profundizar en la experiencia personal y la conexión con lo transpersonal.
La espiritualidad implica un sentimiento (felt sense) que aporta nuevos significados sobre lo trascendente y el sentido de la vida. La experiencia espiritual conduce a un proceso de crecimiento que lleva a la persona en una dirección de mayor alcance.
El Focusing puede ayudar a crecer en aspectos religiosos y espirituales, profundizar y generar nuevas conexiones vitales con la espiritualidad. Las personas aprenden a través de Focusing a examinar sensaciones corporales concretas, fundamentales para el descubrimiento y el crecimiento espiritual.

Is it hard to put your own needs first sometimes? Healthy Boundaries helps you come home to yourself by showing you how to say no without guilt, ask for what you truly need, and stop over-explaining or second-guessing. You’ll build self-trust, feel more confident in your choices, and create more honest, easeful relationships—without sacrificing your compassion or care for others.

US Eastern
Gendlin's Focusing and Process Model form the philosophical foundation of this two-day experiential workshop, with the body's felt sense running as an orientation throughout — and Gendlin's steps taught explicitly in a dedicated Sunday morning session.
Participants explore somatic inquiry, resonant reflection, presence as an embodied coaching meta-competency, and the enactivist frameworks that ground Gendlin's insights in contemporary embodiment science. The workshop is designed for coaches, therapists, facilitators, and somatic practitioners working with whole-person change.
Facilitated by Rod Francis and Sherry Trebes (InterActualizer Emergent Coach Training).

La narrativa condicionada del entorno social atemorizó a los padres y después, ellos, trasladaron sus miedos a sus hij@s. Así durante generaciones y generaciones por milenios. Cuando acompañamos esas voces asustadas, descubrimos la fuente de la auténtica seguridad y experimentamos la restauración de la verdadera confianza. Nos damos a luz a nosotr@s mism@s. Nos auto maternamos y auto paternamos.

PART 2 is about deepening into the Focusing and Listening process by looking more at the role of how we companion ourselves as well as others. We develop further our personal concept of creating an inner space that welcomes it all and adapting that space as we follow our process. I introduce relational neuroscience here.
Experience in a beginner partnership course is required. Discount for partnership courses or experience beyond that. A great place for advanced Focusers to return to.

This workshop invites you to experience yourself in relationship — with your body and the world around you. Encounters with other people, animals, and nature reveal personal needs and interpersonal dynamics.
Focusing and person-centered constellations complement each other. Focusing offers a space for inner resonance and embodied direction and constellations deepen your capacity for embodied empathy and open new possibilities for action. In the presence of horses, trees, and the river, deeper connections and perspectives come alive
