While Focusing has long had a home in psychotherapy and also as a powerful modality for personal development, professional coaching has lagged behind in ways to work with the implicit aspects of cognition.

PART 2 is about deepening into the Focusing and Listening process by looking more at the role of how we companion ourselves as well as others. We develop further our personal concept of creating an inner space that welcomes it all and adapting that space as we follow our process. I introduce relational neuroscience here.
Experience in a beginner partnership course is required. Discount for partnership courses or experience beyond that. A great place for advanced Focusers to return to.

This eight-week course is an opportunity to strengthen your listening skills and deepen your Focusing experiences. In improving your listening skills with empathy and compassion, you create an even stronger container for the felt sense and Focusing process, the motor of change.
You will also learn to better sense your own needs while Focusing, in listening to the nuances from your felt sense (self-empathy) and then meet those needs, either by giving that to yourself or asking your listener for what it needs (self-compassion).

Pacific Time
When we let ourselves play something out, we are inviting and allowing the energy of an inner being to awaken and to body forth, to live it out further and more fully than was possible in the situation. This active, dynamic process enables us to awaken and more fully live (play) something out from within its own spirit-energy without interference. As we connect with our whole body, as well as the larger body of our group, we activate a larger awareness and sensitive attuning to the movement of spirit through the living body, flowing within us, between us and around us. This transformational process enables us to participate in the healing of ourselves, the healing of each other and the healing of the world.

The way we work with our clients reflects the relational and embodied nature of our mind process.
In this course, you study how the bodily felt sense emerges in the context of interaction and explore the physicality of our relational patterns.
You do this experientially as you practice creatively using embodied experience to harness the transformative power of Integrative 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 behaviors. 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

（English Course)The course will start when we have received four applications.（Japanese Course) The second Sunday of every month.1pm-5pm (JST）
TAE（Thinking At the Edge）, developed by Eugene Gendlin, was designed for people who are tracking something they sense but have been unable to say. The 14 steps of TAE help you to speak from that something in creative ways. Learning TAE gives you new tools to help you meet yourself more deeply. This is because the something you sense implies and suggests the way you are and will be.
In this workshop, you will learn the TAE steps more easily using the 'TAE Form' created by your teacher. You will find that it guides your TAE process naturally as you write your words into it. You will also see the relationship between the TAE steps and Gendlin's philosophy.
Learning with other participants and "Crossing" with them through felt sense will open up

This eight-week Focusing course will create a gathering place for professionals to learn to hold space for the complex interplay of climate emotions in their work and simultaneously, to also show up as individuals. Combining current neuroscience, trauma praxis, and embodied practices we will develop an understanding of our patterned threat responses and explore new ways of showing up in the world with the power of our embodied intuition, and a fresh sense of connection to the cosmos and our community.
