Would you like to bring Focusing into your spiritual life and deepen your connection with yourself, others, the universe, and the sacred?
You are warmly invited to join us as we slow down and connect with the profound flow of life energy. This course offers nourishment for the soul and a chance to experience grace and transformation in a grounded, embodied way.
Eugene Gendlin, PhD, the founder of Focusing, taught that Focusing is not only for addressing our challenges but also for deepening our connection with life itself. He once said, “It is always right to let life energy flow!”
Together, we will create a gentle, nurturing space to explore how Focusing can open the door to a richer story and a deeper sense of wholeness. Through contemplative practices and Presence, you’ll uncover meaningful connections to yourself, others, and the divine.
This course welcomes all interpretations of spirituality, sacredness, and universal flow—whether inspired by religious tradition, spiritual practice, or a personal, non-religious sense of connection.
Our classes will remain intimate and experiential, with homework centred on simply being and experiencing through solo Focusing or partnerships.
What You Can Expect to Learn & Experience:
- Feel a profound connection to the sacred and universal flow, bringing grace and meaning into daily life
- Strengthen your capacity to welcome all of yourself with care and compassion
- Discover how your body’s aliveness guides clarity, connection, and meaning

This course was a profound experience that deepened my connection to myself and something greater.
