Develop your resourcefulness for your Focusing practice, and deepen your spiritual connection.

Focusing is a truly wonderful ability for life. It enables you to gain an invaluable resource and support for your life. Focusing works best when you can be fully present, grounded and aware, as well as empathic and accepting of yourself and your Focusing partner. Based on Fiona's chapter in the forthcoming book ‘Senses of Focusing’, we will explore some of the deeper riches of the Focusing/Listening experience.

There will be presentations of some of the aspects and qualities that help you to become the best Focuser and Listener that you can be. You will learn how you can develop the qualities that are needed, through guided Focusing exercises with feedback and questions afterwards. The qualities and aspects we will explore include awareness and presence, self-compassion and self-empathy, empathy for your Focusing partner, self-understanding and paying attention to the flow of life.

This Focusing Highlight is for all Focusers who want to deepen your Focusing and listening abilities. Some failiarity with Focusing will be helpful, although all are welcome to attend.

We use Zoom videoconferencing for our online classes. In this webinar format, you will see the teacher and host, but you will not be seen. You will be able to ask questions during the webinar by typing them.

You will need to have a computer/mobile device. Calling in by phone is also possible but not preferred. All registered participants will be sent a link to the video recording approximately two weeks following the course. So if you are unable to attend in person, you will still be able to view the class.
