Living a Focusing Life

You've discovered you love Focusing...and you also know there's so much more to learn about applying it to your life. Living a Focusing Life is an 18-meeting, live, online advanced Focusing course to help you experience more confidence as a Focusing partner and bring Focusing into your daily life.

Taught by Ann Weiser Cornell and Paula Michel Gamble

Includes live meetings on Zoom, readings, discussions, group exercises, and partnership practices.

You'll get support and guidance to help you:

• Confidently cultivate Self-in-Presence so you don’t get hijacked by your emotional states and you can feel real positive change in your body
• Learn how to work with “parts” (in yourself or someone else) so that repetitive stuck issues start to shift and you can feel new possibilities
• Help yourself or someone else work with challenging issues like action blocks, decisions, and regrets
• Bring a Focusing way of being into your daily life and your relationships, so that the Focusing becomes a part of the fabric of your living

What’s different and special about this training

Living a Focusing Life starts at an advanced level. It’s one thing to learn the concepts of Focusing. But to really integrate them takes time and practice. How great to be able to do that in a supportive group, with two experienced teachers!

Focusing isn’t just for those quiet times with your eyes closed. With practice, you can LIVE Focusing every day, all through the day — in your relationships, your decisions, your creative pursuits. You can live from and as Self-in-Presence, all day long.

When you spread that process of integration over nine months, with lots of practice, you end up with an experience of really living in a new way. Priceless!

If you want Focusing to be a more central part of your life, this course is for you!

Hear from students who've taken the course

"This course has helped me develop the habit of checking in with myself several times a day and then spending some time being with — as Self-in-Presence. The results of these more frequent Focusing check-ins include: more calm, less reactivity, and more notice of the positive & life-affirming moments that are present — no matter how small.” Joyce L.

“My biggest challenge was feeling pressure, like living life with a to-do list. I felt as if peace came in snatches. Now I have more acceptance of being human — an awareness of challenges and peace. Before the course, I wanted to be fixed. Now, I simply want to be curious and grow.“ C.R.
