Celebrating the work of Nada Lou

Nada Lou has been at the forefront of recording Gendlin teaching Thinking at the Edge (TAE), tracking its development as well as being a world-renowned teacher of TAE in her own right.  Not only did she attend and record hundreds of hours of teaching by Gene Gendlin and those who worked with him to develop it, but by editing the recordings of those sessions, she has listened to his teachings more than anyone else in the world.

During our TAE Symposium, we pause to recognize her enormous contribution, watch two short videos, and hear from her directly.  If you are signed up for the Symposium, you are automatically enrolled in this hour-long event.  If you are not signed up for the Symposium, you are welcome to sign up for this event at no cost.

Video 1: TAE Trail
You need to stand again in your own experiencing, in your own ONGOINGNESS which is this intricate complexity inside of life. To put into the world what hasn’t been said yet that you are carrying inside you from your particular life experience.
Nada will show this video clip following a teaching trail of one TAE teacher - herself. She travelled around the world to bring this practice to many people. Many people around the world attended these workshops. If you participated in one, you might find yourself in some group or photo taken somewhere in the world. Many beautiful photos and scenes from around the globe are shown. In this film, music accompanied by Goran Petrovic makes it an enjoyable viewing. 

Video 2: Creating with Creators: Gene Gendlin, Mary Hendricks and Nada Lou
Mary Hendricks introduces ... Nada Lou as a TAE teacher, Focusing teacher and a video producer. Nada has also been collaborating in the whole development of this TAE practice.

Gene Gendlin is being Nada’s partner. And as partner, Gene is writing down everything that Nada says.

Nada Lou has been tracking a gradual knowing that has developed in her, that when she’s been teaching TAE or been teaching Focusing or been in a Focusing or TAE partnership, she has the experience that both she and the other person are part of something that she's calling a Bigger Picture. What she has set out in this this project to articulate is what it is that she knows about being in that Bigger Picture and how that’s functioning in relation to this experience. 

Nada Lou - Immersing herself in Gendlin’s thinking through her DVD Productions has made Nada one of the experts in TAE. Since co-presenting TAE workshops with Dr. Gendlin, Nada evolved a personal approach to TAE course called THINK DIFFERENT – (TAE), and is in the forefront of spreading this practice around the world - as programs, live lectures, personal projects. Nada is the author of “The Grassroots Introduction to TAE Manual
