CEST (Rome)
This workshop is a great way to get started on a daunting issue, situation, dilemma, or project. The issue can be in the area of professional development or personal development, in relation to physical or mental health. It can be a career or work issue. It can be an individual, couple or family situation which concerns you. A Macro is usually something you have tried to change or to realize… without success.

Gene Gendlin conducted research "On Experiencing and the Creation of Meaning" at the University of Chicago, this followed on a collaboration with Carl R. Rogers, one of the founding fathers of psychotherapy research and the humanistic approach to psychology. Relating to the world and people around, the aim of his "Philosophy of the Implicit" is to come in touch with one's bodily felt resonance.
The Experiencing workshops offer opportunities to taste moments of this approach as well as deliver a sound base for a wish to participate in a two (2) year training course, which will kick-off in early 2024.

El arte puede ser autobiográfico o no, pero siempre ha de ser auto-referencial. Solamente a través de quien el artista es y de sus significados profundos, es que puede aportar a la sociedad un espacio donde todos puedan trascenderse. "En lo más personal está lo más universal" (Tomeu Barceló, La sabiduría interior). Focusing y TAE resultan excelentes herramientas para asegurar la conexión auténtica entre el creador y su universo interno.

Eastern (New York) Time
This webinar introduces a way to support your interior process by working with a flexible visual template for self-guided Focusing. This practice is different from “regular” journaling — where composing sentences can sometimes feel fraught or keep you from touching the deeper core that wants movement or relief. Dana will provide a template that allows participants to adjust and re-invent as needed.
We will begin by clearing a space on the page in a benevolent container to hold your process. We will pause to witness what we are holding, select affirming words, and hone the potential to take the process deeper. There will be space for reflection and sharing how this practice works for you. Please bring blank paper, writing implements, and colors that you like to work with.

This space is designed to encourage us to live Gendlin's concept of "crossing" within a supportive community setting.
Our first year emphasizes the process of GUIDING someone else in ways that bring life forward movement. We will be diving deep into the intricacies of one-to-one relationships. This community is for those who often find themselves in situations of facilitating change for others, individuals and groups. It’s a great option for those who are looking for a community-based path toward certification, for those who do not need certification, and also works well if you are already certified or possibly alongside another certification program.
This Learning Community begins as a year-long program meeting twenty times every other week for 1.5

We belong to the natural world just as much as a the crow or deer, yet somehow we have forgotten this. We have found ourselves disconnected from our home and from all that sustains us. We have forgotten our place in the more than human world. This immersive retreat will invite us to learn again how to listen and converse with the natural world, we will learn how to listen to it’s wisdom.
