Because of the interactive nature of this workshop, registrants should plan to attend live. Class size is limited.

*Although not required for registration for this class, everyone interested is encouraged to also register for Glenn's Focusing Highlight webinar May 2, 2020, as this group is intended as an expansion on the guided process Glenn is offering there.

The current crisis is an enormous challenge both for ourselves as individuals, as well as for our families, and communities. In addition to our natural concerns about health, survival, finances, etc. there is perhaps an even deeper challenge.  When our daily lives (routines, habits, patterns, ways of being, socializing) are disrupted, it invites an opening to not just “cope,” but to grow, to transform, to live more in alignment with what really matters.

In this workshop, Glenn will show how the very destabilizing and disrupting force of the crisis can initiate a process of deep self-exploration. We will experience a guided Wholebody Focusing (WBF) process that can awaken the inner alchemy of embodied transformation- leading toward finding and taking a new embodied stance on our being and relating. This simple 3 phase process of wholebody awareness involves: 1. drawing in our body’s life-energy, 2. holding this energy within the body’s container, inviting the energy to grow, expand, realign in accord with our deeper nature, and 3. bringing forth and letting flow outward the transmuted energy, to open to new ways of bodying forth our being.

The main focus of the workshop will be a guided group WBF experience- as well as an opportunity to share what emerges. If time permits, we may also do break-outs where we can hold space for each other in exploring this WBF process. The dynamic of awakening and gathering our energy, of channeling this natal spirit into new embodied stances- can have profound benefits for our own well-being, as well as for how we can be with and respond to others with deep caring.

This class is best suited for those with some experience with Focusing, though all are welcome. Class size will be limited. Because of the intimate, interactive nature of this workshop, registrants should plan to attend live. A recording of the class will be provided to all registrants.

Format

We use Zoom videoconferencing for our online classes. You will need to have a computer/mobile device. Calling in by phone is also possible but not preferred. The class will be held in meeting format so that all participants will see the presenter and each other. (There is an option to turn off your video if you prefer and technical instructions will be given at the class start).
