DESCRIPTION:
Follow a Felt Sense a little, put it into words - and things become clearer, situations even change. How can that be? Have we not learned that feelings are inside, something subjective? Why do situations change just by paying attention to a subtle feeling and putting it into words?

Gendlin's A Process Model creates new foundations for thinking about the connection of inside and outside, feeling and situation, language-use and change possibilities. His basic concepts provide an understanding for phenomena we experience, but cannot explain easily. To be able to grasp the subtleness and power of the experiencing process in more satisfying terms re-affects experiential possibilities. At the same time, this model allows us to perceive the world differently: richer, more complex, more creative - in every moment. We understand how intricate each situation is - hardly imaginable in the truest sense of the word! We understand how we are connected to our environments through and through, and what a dizzyingly complex history the present moment is - and a Felt Sense of it! When we begin to understand this better, we can in turn do more creative Focusing. Furthermore, we gain more possibilities and freedom to convey what we "do" in Focusing to others.

This 4-day intensive workshop will focus on Gendlin’s 'basic model' within A Process Model, the first 4 chapters. The course consists of three elements:

  1. reading (slowly!) together
  2. exchange
  3. experiential exercises that Donata has developed in the last five years. The experiential exercises support the opening up of the text to allow you to co-generate the model together with Eugene Gendlin.

Registrants are not required to purchase the book and will be supplied with a manuscript with chosen paragraphs that lay a path of understanding. From there it will be easier and more pleasurable to re-read the original text.

PREREQUISITES:
Registrants should have familiarity with Focusing, but do not need experience with philosophy or A Process Model.

FORMAT:
We use Zoom videoconferencing for our online classes. You will need to have a computer/mobile device. Calling in by phone is also possible but not preferred. This workshop will be held in Zoom meeting format and breakout rooms will be utilized (breakout rooms are not recorded).
