Through this weekly FOAT practice group, small steps towards wellbeing, positive change, and growth will be nourished and supported.

Treasure Maps is a 6-day residential retreat, an intensive workshop for people with Focusing experience who want to apply our Untangling® method to life’s most hard-to-change issues.

We’ve been teaching Treasure Maps in 15 countries over the past 25 years, helping thousands of people learn our method, getting responses like this one from Paul Fitzgerald: "The Treasure Maps experience was like a dissolving of an old way of seeing life and having new eyes to engage life with more freedom. I'd highly encourage anyone interested in deepening their Focusing to take this course."

We believe that transformation occurs most readily in an atmosphere of respect, acceptance, openness, warmth, playfulness, and support. Our mission is to enable you to live

Alexandre lieu de stage Focusing
Je propose ce stage tout public comme un cheminement personnel vers soi et une formation à la pratique du Focusing. Même si vous l’avez déjà vécu, vous découvrez plus que ce que vous ne connaissez déjà à propos de vous-même et à propos de l’approche du Focusing. Le Focusing Expérientiel vous (ré)apprend à détecter et écouter votre sens corporel, votre 6ème sens. Par son intermédiaire vous retrouvez confiance, intuition, et créativité. Ce stage représente le premier volet d’une formation si votre intention est de vous former pleinement au Focusing.

1 Day Summit in Healing Developmental Trauma
This is a 1 day Free Event with Several Speakers. Maureen Gallagher, PhD, SEP will be speaking about Healing Developmental Trauma with Inner Relationship Focusing from 12:30 pm to 1:45 pm Eastern Time.
Description of her talk:
Developmental trauma can result in insecure attachment to self and others. Inner Relationship Focusing is an embodied toolkit uniquely suited to addressing attachment wounds that lead to insecure attachment strategies. SIRF, combining Somatic Awareness with Inner Relationship Focusing, supports building a secure relationship with embodied partial self states, shifting internal working models of self and other from insecure to earned secure, while building regulation skills in support of embodied presence.

The International Focusing Institute Event Robert Parker
New registrants are welcome who have previously read Chapters I-VI on their own or with some group.

Chapter VII is approximately 1/3 of the book so is being offered in 6 sections of 11 sessions.

Chapter VII, Culture, Symbol, and Language, was in many ways Gendlin's favorite chapter, not only because language and symbols are central to Focusing, but because they raise so many fascinating questions.
