Level 1 Training

You are invited to join the community as we learn, grow, and evolve our Focusing skills. In this live online five-week course, you will learn how to cultivate the inner environment for real radical, lasting change!

At Focusing With Laura, we pride ourselves on creating intimate class environments while fostering active, experiential learning! We promise you will not stare at the computer screen and never speak in class!
We will systematically develop and safely apply our new skill of Focusing. There will be lectures, live and recorded demonstrations, opportunities for questions and reflections, group exercises, games and paired exercises within and outside class time.

You can expect to:

• Deepen your understanding of the history and daily applications of Focusing
• Look closely at the roles: empowered Focuser, relaxed Companion and Observer
• Increase self-awareness of your thoughts, feelings and emotions
• Learn essential Focusing skills such as Self-in-Presence
• Increase your body awareness skills that allow you to access your own body’s wisdom more often
• Appropriately use self-instruction to take yourself through the Focusing process
• Learn about the Felt Sense
• Utilize the daily applications of Focusing by practicing in a safe space
• Feel secure, calm & peaceful throughout your day
• Reconnect your mind-body wisdom
• Belong to an enriching Focusing community
