3-month Nervous System Reset online course
December 2022 through February 2023
You might be very familiar with a habitual background atmosphere of restlessness, anxiousness, agitation, or something like that.
At times when this happens, you might know that this inner activation is counter-productive and out of place somehow, but how to find your way to a more relaxed, easy-going state of being?
After accidents, certain neurological illnesses, or emotionally challenging incidences, the autonomic nervous system can get stuck in repetitive patterns that challenge our health, well-being, sense of safety and connection, and our creative potential.
We can invite and gradually build new patterns in our autonomic
We create intimate group environments which emphasize active, experiential learning! 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.
We promise that you will not stare at the computer screen and never speak in class!
Live Q&A with Charlotte about her 2-Year Focusing Certification course with international teachers starting January 2023 (66.5 CEU credits for social workers).
Changes-Groups sind Begegnungsorte, um Focusing und partnerschaftliches, erlebensbezogenes Zuhören kennenzulernen, zu üben und als individuelle Achtsamkeitspraxis zu etablieren.
This is a 4 week encounter/therapy group, where we listen to each other in a Focusing way and in a safe space, where each person has the opportunity to explore their own issues, and, through Focusing and interaction, be able to move their lives forward and develop new and fresh ways of living and interacting.
When we harness the power of our body’s natural healing process through accessing the autonomic nervous system and our felt sense, transformation occurs right before our eyes.
In this Roundtable, Rafael Villeta will share his method of “bridging” Focusing and tennis instruction and interact with other Focusers who are engaged with sports in the hope of a mutual sharing.

Introduction to Focusing and my Basic Focusing Skills Course
Relate to yourself and others with freshness, emotional intelligence, and an open heart.
Focusing offers a way for coming into loving contact with yourself and others. When you are in contact with your body, with your inner sense of something, letting your expressions arise from there, you are accessing insights that are much deeper and vaster than the emotional or mental dimensions alone can offer.
With this foundation, the way in which your life unfolds is experienced as deeply meaningful; sometimes it’s easy, sometimes it’s difficult, but there is always an undercurrent sense of rightness, of following a natural flow.
The full course will take place: January 2 to July 10, 2023,
No matter how long ago it was, the past can cast a long shadow over the present. Here’s the good news: There are ways to use a Focusing attitude to heal the trauma that’s holding back your life. Join us for this supportive six-week course and start creating a healing relationship with the hurt parts inside of you.
Taught by Ann Weiser Cornell (author of The Power of Focusing and Focusing in Clinical Practice: The Essence of Change).
Un espacio de encuentro (1 al mes) entre personas interesadas en focusing, facilitado de forma voluntaria y generosa por un compañero o compañera que nos ofrece un ejercicio experiencial o una muestra de cómo utiliza el focusing con otra disciplina.
Esta serie brinda un espacio para conectar miembros hispanohablantes del Instituto Internacional de Focusing (TIFI). Es un espacio para aprender y expandir el conocimiento sobre Focusing y temas relacionados. El concepto de "Cafecitos" viene de la idea de estar en la casa de un amigo/a y conversar tomándose un café. Queremos que estos Cafecitos se sientan acogedores y que tú te sientas en casa durante estas entrevistas. Cada Cafecito tiene a un nuevo entrevistado quien compartirá su conocimiento sobre algún tema en especial con la comunidad hispanohablante.

Our goal here is to return to the essence of Focusing and ourselves as living process. I ask that participants are Focusing weekly with a partner at least one month before class begins and throughout our time together. There is a lot of reading, often more than you might choose to do. We touch on a variety of approaches to learn and practice Focusing. My Part 4 is a great place to return to whenever you would like to go deeper with your process from wherever it is. Requires Part 3 or equivalent experience.
Meets eight times on Wednesdays, 7 – 9 pm New York time.
This online entry level Focusing skills class prepares you to begin a Focusing partnership. Utilizing Inner Relationship Focusing and Neuroscience based exercises spread out over a few months, this is a great opportunity to ground yourself in the basics of Self-in-Presence as a way of being that creates space for lasting change. You are encouraged to practice both in partnerships and with brief pauses during your day.
For coaches, bodyworkers, therapists, teachers and anyone interested in improving their inner and outer relational skills. Part 1 meets six times for two hours, usually every other week. This class can be your first step toward professional certification by completing Parts 1-4, then entering the ongoing Learning Community for Mastery in Guiding Change. Meets
Want to watch as Ann Weiser Cornell guides someone through their very first Focusing session?
Focusing can be puzzling to talk about. It can be hard to learn from a book or a video. But when someone is actually taken through the process, you get it! Be present to observe as Ann guides three first-time Focusers (one each week) - and then comment afterward. The guest Focusers are volunteers who understand that their session will be witnessed by a safe and respectful group of people.
