Every day you’re one day older. If that thought brings stress, you’re not alone. Aging brings real losses, and losses bring feelings that need gentle attention. Aging can also bring perspective. Aging may be inevitable but the way we approach it is up to us.

A Changes Group is a free-of-charge, peer-led group that meets so people can exchange Focusing and listening turns in an atmosphere of safety and mutual respect. It's a group for continuing your Focusing practice; no teaching will be done.
We meet on zoom twice per month. We have a centering/grounding practice to begin followed by a check in (usually in breakout rooms), followed by time for practice in groups of two or three. You can also chose to join an empathy circle if you'd like to observe or practice in a bigger group.
Our next Changes Groups are:
-Sunday, October 20th, 6:30-8 pm Eastern

ZATRZYMANIE …zmieniające życie….Nie ma drogi do pokoju.To pokój jest drogą. – Mahatma Gandhi
...i Focusing jest taką pokojową drogą … praktyką sztuki zatrzymywania się, pauzą, zwalnianiem w całym momentum zabiegania i wymagań dnia … nieustannym powracaniem do odczuwania siebie … i to pomaga nam uczyć się wracać do obecności, otwartości … odnawiać z ufnością świadomość, że dookoła nas …i wewnątrz nas … w skupieniu, w tym specjalnym czasie, który na to przeznaczamy …jesteśmy bliżej pokoju. Pokoju ze sobą samą, samym i pokoju ze światem…i tyle możemy zrobić … tylko … albo aż …
Potem wierne wracanie do focusingowej praktyki pomaga nam uczyć się jak nie zerwać tej delikatnej nici, tego połączenia, tej uważności w naszej codzienności, że każde zadanie chcemy zaczynać stamtąd, z

Jerusalem Time
At some time or another, all of us have been in conflict with someone that we love or that is significant in our lives. Perhaps it was a parent, a child, a partner, a friend, a colleague…whoever it was, something happened, something got in the way of the relationship.
In Social Oriented Focusing ׂׂ(SOFׁ) there is an understanding that the relationship is more important than the conflict, and from this perspective, we can use SOF tools to stop our automatic patterns of reacting and actually manage the conflict.

Want to watch as Ann Weiser Cornell guides someone through their very first Focusing session?
Focusing can be puzzling to talk about. It can be hard to learn from a book or a video. But when someone is actually taken through the process, you get it! Be present to observe as Ann guides three first-time Focusers (one each week) - and then comment afterward. The guest Focusers are volunteers who understand that their session will be witnessed by a safe and respectful group of people.

In 2023, we began a tradition of having an annual online "Honoring Milestones" ceremony. The ceremony begins by acknowledging all those newly certified by TIFI and those who have become Coordinators (who are also acknowledged monthly in our InFocus News Feed, and on our Milestones page on focusing.org). Toward the end of the Honoring Milestones ceremony, we take time to remember Coordinators who have recently passed. All members of The International Focusing Institute are warmly welcome to attend this online ceremony.
