On ne se forme pas à Être, on y revient par soi-même. Ce parcours est un processus progressif, psychocorporel, dans la transformation organique et la croissance mutuelle. Le processus de la présence ne s’active pas par les biais habituels du mental, du savoir et du vouloir. Il est permis par la qualité de notre relation à notre organisme dans son ensemble et par le grandissement de la conscience de soi, qui se découvre, s’installe et grandie singulièrement au fur et à mesure. Ainsi les parcours proposent des rendez-vous pratiques hebdomadaires toute l’année. Ceci permet d’accompagner le processus progressif, d’instaurer une routine vertueuse dans votre agenda, d’entretenir et d’approfondir votre pratique.
Gendlin’s approach to words and meaning invites creativity:
a conversation led by the members of the Eugene T. Gendlin Center for Research in Experiential Philosophy and Psychology.

Smartview Conversations is a monthly online gathering to explore application of our Focusing skills to daily life and interactions. Our skill emphasis for 2024 is the Power of AND, how we hold our own space in relationship to others and how we hold space within us for both our right and left hemisphere's perspectives.
We will model how to create a safe, playful environment that facilitates neural plasticity. These webinars are FREE to attend. Both experienced Focusers and people new to Focusing are welcome.
We meet on the 3rd or 4th Tuesday, normally twice in the same day for different time zones. This month we are limited to meeting at 11:30am - 12:30pm ET New York time..

A felt sense is a bodily feel of a situation that includes the problem and the way forward. Felt sensing facilitates right and left hemisphere integration, unwinds trauma, and taps into our innate wholeness, meaning, and purpose. Learn to facilitate embodiment, presence, and the felt sensing through guided exercises, video, demos, and discussion.
Lilach will present an overview of her 'Focusing on Respectful Parenthood' approach, some references of Gendlin's philosophy that support it, practical exercises for participants, and crystalizing carrying forward steps.
Some familiarity with Focusing may be helpful but no prior experience is required. All are welcome to attend and participate.

A one week residential workshop in Assisi, the spiritual heart of Italy. (You can count the hours as part of your training with me, to be a Focusing Trainer with the TFI). This course is for couples, or singles.
In many relationships there may be a lot of compatibility and attraction but there are certain topics that just become taboo. They are simply too difficult to talk about because of the accumulated emotions and memories. Couples become emotionally reactive and cannot discuss reasonably, because they are fixing blame and inwardly nurturing resentment.
And yet, it is precisely by exploring these issues, using Focusing skills and having the courage to be authentic and vulnerable that fertile areas for love and intimacy are opened up. If couples can develop the courage

Treasure Maps is a 6-day residential retreat, an intensive workshop for people with Focusing experience who want to apply our Untangling® method to life’s most hard-to-change issues.
We’ve been teaching Treasure Maps in 15 countries over the past 25 years, helping thousands of people learn our method, getting responses like this one from Paul Fitzgerald: "The Treasure Maps experience was like a dissolving of an old way of seeing life and having new eyes to engage life with more freedom. I'd highly encourage anyone interested in deepening their Focusing to take this course."
We believe that transformation occurs most readily in an atmosphere of respect, acceptance, openness, warmth, playfulness, and support. Our mission is to enable you to live
