Gene Gendlin's Philosophy

Perhaps you’ve been curious about the philosophy behind Focusing, The Philosophy of the Implicit, but never quite dipped inside.  Perhaps you’ve taken a dive into Gene’s writing, but seek greater clarity.  This series of lectures served as a celebration of the publication of Eugene Gendlin’s groundbreaking work, A Process Model, and offers a learning possibility of Gendlin’s philosophy from diverse teachers and perspectives.

Prerequisites: Some familiarity with Focusing helpful; no experience in philosophy needed.

This eight workshop series was hosted by Dana Ganihar and Dan Schachter in 2018. Guest lecturers were Rob Parker (2 sessions), Greg Walkerden (2 sessions), Naohiko Mimura, Donata Schoeller, Ed Casey and Mary Jeanne Larrabee.

The recordings range in length from approximately 1 hour 15 minutes to under 2 hours and include the lecture along with the instructions for the experiential portions which can be done on your own, or partner with a friend who also wants to register.
