About the Series 

We are excited to offer this rejuvenating 4-session series! Each session will include one main Theme-based FOAT exercise integrating Focusing with user-friendly methods for arts expression. Through this FOAT practice group, small steps will cultivate access to your body’s creative wisdom, positive change, and growth will be nourished and supported. It will also enhance self-compassion and compassion toward others.

This group is open to people who are new to FOAT, Focusing, and the expressive arts, as well as experienced! If you wish to learn more about FOAT, click here.

All sessions will be recorded and available for viewing in the online course– so if you cannot attend the Live teleconferences, you can still access the material!

Certificates of Completion (not CE) will be sent at the conclusion of the series.
