Introduction to Felt Sensing (Focusing)

Being the first of six courses in the Felt Sensing and With-Sensing (Focusing and Listening) skills certificate, this course offers the very basics of Felt Sensing  and of Sensing (Focusing) Partnership: The supportive experience of having a listener who is non-intrusive, and who doesn't give advice or opinions, as well as the sometimes challenging, but liberating experience of offering listening in this way.

Topics covered in the course:

• Getting to know the Felt Sensing (Focusing) process
• Developing the Felt Sensing (Focusing) Attitude; curiosity, openness and inner kindness and welcoming
• Discovering what happens “under” what we think of as the regular "conciousness"
• Trying out the Sensing (Focusing) Partnership

Teaching methods:

• Sharing of theory
• Demonstrations
• Group discussions
• Exercises and trying out in the group
• Partnership exchange in class
• Reflections
• Partnership exchange between classes
• One 50-minute session with the teacher (Vera)
