Curious about this concept of Creating Space?
Or possibly how I weave Inner Relationship Focusing, Spatial Awareness and Neuroscience to strengthen our ability to recognize our current state of being?
Where does spirituality, soul connection, or your relationship to a higher power fit in here?

We'd love to meet you!
Meditating together, and talking about it in a Focusing way, we give ourselves more of a chance to experience meditation as a process going on beyond the strict boundary of the isolated self.
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. These webinars emphasize Gendlin's action step; how is it we bring Focusing concepts into our daily living.
We meet on the 3rd or 4th Tuesday, twice in the same day for different time zones. The times are 11:30am - 12:30pm ET New York time and 7:

This is a series of Saturday workshops, running once a month, with virtually open intake. Only the Introduction, "The Art of Focusing" (or equivalent) must be taken as a pre-req, the remaining modules are totally flexible. Students who complete 16 specific modules, along with additional practice and supervision criteria, may become certified as a Focusing Oriented Therapist. Program completion takes about 17 -20 months.
Revisaremos cuatro tipos de vías de entrada para ir precisando, experiencialmente, algunos criterios orientadores de cuándo, cómo y para qué utilizar esas vías de entrada.
Looking for a community to continue exploring new edges of how change unfolds within, among and around us?

Join us if you have, or are considering, a vocational path that brings you together with others in situations of facilitating change. This could be 1:1 or with groups.
Advanced and already certified Focusers welcome.
You may be familiar with a habitual background atmosphere of restlessness, anxiousness, agitation, or something like that.

We can invite and gradually build new patterns in our autonomic nervous system and brain. In doing so, we change our spontaneous physical, emotional and mental responses to life’s occurrences.

Our monthly Sydney Focusing Changes Group provides an opportunity to meet and pair up with other Focusers for Focusing sessions as well as group sharing and discussion time.
You are invited to become a part of our group as we learn the Inner Relationship Focusing process. In this live virtual nine-week course, you will acquire the skills necessary for cultivating radical lasting life change.
At our core, we are dedicated to cultivating close-knit classroom settings that prioritise immersive, experiential education. Say goodbye to silently staring at screens! We'll methodically practice the art of Focusing together. Our curriculum includes informative lectures, illustrative demonstrations, interactive Q&As, thought-provoking activities, and collaborative partner exercises.
Focusing offers a rich potential for change. It opens a doorway to a space where it is possible to transform your life in a way that feels right for you. Focusing is a practice everyone can learn without undertaking years of professional development or going to see a therapist. With a little training, you can learn to access the space beyond your thoughts to find the "more" that is happening in any situation. When we are in contact with our direct experience of the “more”, small steps of change begin to emerge, and this can lead us on to fresh life-giving directions. The wonderful thing is that when you learn focusing you can use it whenever you need it for the rest of your life.
Foundations in Focusing Level 1 & 2 is a prerequisite to this course.
