An experiential workshop with Yehudit First
Saturday, January 20th, 2024 from 10:00am to 12:00pm New York time Your time here
Live attendance is recommended. All registrants (whether or not you attend live) will receive an email to view the recording after the workshop. The recording will be available for one month after the workshop concludes. Breakout rooms are not recorded.
Description
The untold story relates to the story that lay beyond the words. It is the essence of the story, what we really want to convey, but often don’t quite manage to put into words, don’t quite get the listener to truly understand, to truly be with us.
In this workshop, we will create the conditions for felt conversation – the kind of conversation that enables us to connect through sensing and relating with each other. Using Social Oriented Focusing (SOF), we will enter the inside and in-between of the storyteller and the listener, a place where the story can be held and contained, enabling deep connection and healing.
The workshop will include presentations, guided experiences, and time for practice, sharing and questions.
Some familiarity with Focusing will be helpful, though all are welcome to attend.
Format
We use Zoom videoconferencing for our online classes. The session will be held in meeting format so that all participants can see the presenters and each other. You will need to have a computer/mobile device. Calling in by phone is also possible but not preferred as participation in breakout rooms will be limited.
All registrants (whether or not you attend live) can view the recording for one month. Breakout rooms are not recorded.
