We can invite and gradually build new patterns in our autonomic nervous system and brain. In doing so, we change our spontaneous physical, emotional and mental responses to life’s occurrences.

1.5-hour informal meeting to introduce my 21-week Nervous System Reset Online Course
Throughout 2024, join us each Wednesday for a contemplative meditation crossing the Philosophies of Jiddu Krishnamurti and Eugene Gendlin. We meet every Wednesday from 1pm to 2pm EST/NY where we pause to contemplate the truth.
We move slowly through these meditations leaving space for pauses, reflections and focusing partnership interactions - any language and any level of Focusing proficiency is welcome into this space, or none at all.
These events are open and free to the public - each meditation is taken from Krishnamurti's Book of Life.
Las prácticas tutorizadas de focusing tienen por finalidad la práctica del focusing con asesoramiento para consolidar el conocimiento y el manejo del procedimiento e iniciar al alumnado a la facilitación de procesos de focusing como guía.
Nota: Para cursar el módulo de prácticas tutorizadas el alumno deberá haber superado los dos primeros niveles de focusing.
Social Oriented Focusing (SOF) invites us into an embodied practice to untie the KNOTS and NOTS that interfere with relating to others, enabling us to overcome blocks, fears, and automatic behaviours. Imagine being fully present in the here-and-now in a Focusing way, enjoying interpersonal moments with the freedom to be yourself, instead of repeating stressful patterns of separation.
In SOF Course Level 1, we will set out on an SOF journey of discovery from separation to connection. In a safe group setting, we will explore the steps from feeling alone to feeling together, while being our authentic selves.
SOF expands our Focusing awareness allowing us to meet others while remaining intimate with ourselves and our present moment experience, facilitating
This is a series of Saturday workshops, running once a month, with virtually open intake. Only the Introduction, "The Art of Focusing" (or equivalent) must be taken as a pre-req, the remaining modules are totally flexible. Students who complete 16 specific modules, along with additional practice and supervision criteria, may become certified as a Focusing Oriented Therapist. Program completion takes about 17 -20 months.
Focusing Journal is a gentle, creative process of exploration of your inner experience on the page – bypassing the analytical mind and traveling to the surface - as colors, words, shapes, or movement. Flexible visual templates serve as supportive prompts or anchors for your process to emerge with new meanings and possibilities.
This session invites alignment with the fall season - the qualities of letting go, unburdening, as well as tending to the inner light. There will be ample space for solo work, reflection, sharing resonance, and enriching our experience.
Focusing changes lives. We know that - that’s why we became Focusing Professionals. Keep your own practice going by connecting with other Focusing professionals to trade Focusing & Listening turns.

Words can sometimes feel inadequate for carrying onward a still-forming-meaning. Perhaps we use a word too soon, inadvertently cutting short a process of discovery that needs more time. To take good care of our process, we can devise other ways - gestures, signs, sounds, etc. - to convey what we are experiencing, or what we are needing in the moment with our partner or listener.
This workshop supports the meta-communicative boundaries of the Focusing interaction by formulating helpful non-verbal attunements and agreements with our listener. In a spirit of experimentation, we will find good new ways to indicate our needs during various phases of a Focusing process, creating a unique repertoire of signals for dyadic focusing partnerships and beyond.
Aging brings both challenges and opportunities, but it doesn’t have to feel like it’s all downhill from here. In fact, this chapter of life can be one of growth, connection, and newfound purpose.
You can develop a positive outlook on the future (and know how to be kinder to yourself when you can’t do that). Join us and get tools, wisdom, and support for every stage of the aging journey.
This is an introduction to an online Focusing course in which you learn all the fundamentals for having Focusing Partnerships, and for Focusing alone or in a group. You will be eligible to join the International Focusing Partnership Network (for free, world-wide Focusing Partnerships).

Jeffrey compartirá una breve descripción general de qué es el trauma y cómo nos afecta, seguida de cuatro etapas del tratamiento del trauma y diez aspectos clave del trabajo con el trauma. Más importante aún, espera involucrar a los participantes en una conversación sobre cómo las heridas y los dones se unen y cómo el Focusing nos ayuda a entrar en nuestra herida para encontrar, desarrollar y compartir nuestros dones. El concepto de "Cafecitos" viene de la idea de estar en la casa de un amigo/a y conversar tomándose un café.

- Feel stuck in a difficult life situation?
- Suffer, but can't connect to the aching place inside?
- Or feel your life could be richer in ways you can't yet quite articulate?
And do you want to find your own way forward, one that feels good and that comes from you? Inner Relationship Focusing teaches us how to attend to our inner experience in ways that feel deeply satisfying and brings change.
