Central European Time = GMT+1 (Budapest)
This open workshop offers a first-hand experience of Focusing, a gentle and deep method for connecting with the body's inner wisdom. Unlike analysis or meditation, Focusing involves a presence-based dialogue with your inner world. Participants will learn how to pay attention to their bodily sensations and emotions in a new way. The session includes a short theoretical introduction and a guided experiential process. It is especially suitable for those who are curious about themselves and wish to deepen their self-awareness.

Eastern (New York) Time
Most of us know that being able to listen in a Focusing way usually requires lots of practice and reflection. Yet, when we speak with others, we often find we have nothing but our habits to guide us. We can’t expect ourselves to automatically be skilled at speaking up, speaking out, speaking to and from our felt sense. Especially when we speak in larger groups, our Focusing skills can disappear! We need a place to practice speaking and some guidance to find a new way.
These Being Focusing Together gatherings will use Gendlin’s little known unpublished manuscript "Fitting In and Pouring Out, and Relating" to help us do just that. We will use our time together to experiment with new patterns and see if we find fresh ways to be Focusing in our group interactions.

Eastern Time
An empathy circle, practiced in a Focusing way, is a regular Focusing exchange, held by the entire group. As such, there is a Focuser, a listener, and the remaining participants act as observers/witnesses. After the Focusing, each are invited to offer an empathic reflection to the Focuser.
