A pupa is the safe place for transformation... in nature this is the cocoon or chrysalis. In Focusing, this is the safety of our Focusing attitude and listening partnerships. The use of felt sense body cards catalyze the process by capturing details and helping us notice our patterns and further explicate our process.
The base of the PUPA Focusing Certification Program consists of five courses that cover a journey using the PUPA process. They are designed to not only learn and teach Focusing, but also to get to know and transform yourself, while creating change in the world— by bringing more Focusing into the world.
The five core courses make a PUPA journey: learning Focusing (Pause), learning about who you are (Understanding), learning who you want to be

Eastern Time
In this 8-week group, you will use Focusing to transform a significant issue in your life, in part by deepening your access to Self through the 8Cs of Self-Leadership. The 8Cs are calmness, connectedness, curiosity, clarity, compassion, confidence, courage and creativity.
By crossing these qualities with our issue, we move through it by pausing, understanding the issue, transforming it, and then preparing for action, and finally taking action.
Your issue can be working towards a personal or professional goal. However, the course is designed in such a way that you can also bring a different topic each week to your Focusing, and concentrate on building your 8Cs which help you live as your Self more often.

Nie ma drogi do pokoju.To pokój jest drogą. - Mahatma Gandhi
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 …

An empathy circle, practiced in a Focusing way, is at first a regular Focusing exchange, however it is held by the entire group. As such, there is a Focuser, a listener, and the remaining participants act as observers/witnesses.

Focusing is a powerful method of self-discovery that places great significance on our own personal experiences. By tuning into our bodily sensations, we can gain valuable insights and guidance. Marie, will guide us through the process of Focusing and help us uncover the wisdom that our bodies already possess. Through this practice, we can better understand and navigate through situations that may leave us feeling confused or uncertain. By tapping into our inner resources, we can unlock a wealth of knowledge and clarity that resides within us.
Focusing is a process of allowing our bodies to show us the way to deeper self-knowledge and healing. It is a doorway to your true self. Our bodies have their own consciousness, aliveness, and intelligence. They carry wisdom and

AEST
Focusing is one of the few things that work well over Zoom, but even so, there's something particularly lovely about coming into a physical space and Focusing in person. My body always breathes out a deep sigh when I unlock the door and walk into this space where I've Focused so many times. It's as if my body is saying, "Ah, here!"
