Doorways to the Soul 2 continues to build on the skills and concepts practiced in DW1. DW1 (or the equivalent of Focusing Levels 1&2 with another teacher) are a prerequisite to taking DW2.
In this course you’ll continue to grow in your Focusing and Companioning skills - dealing with inner critics, feelings about feelings, recognizing close and distant processes, sensing what a part is not wanting, and more!

TAE is often presented in a way that makes people feel they have to be philosophers or scientists to use it. Gendlin’s purpose for developing TAE was indeed to have it become a philosophical practice and be used for experiential research and development.
But TAE is a valuable practice for the rest of us! You can learn how to use TAE by applying it to issues that challenge you, you can use it to build and develop what you want to create — but however you apply it, TAE gives voice to the unique expression of life that comes through you.

Central European Summer 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.
In this way rather than compromising ourselves in the name of peace, we deepen and widen our sense of authenticity and truth, and through the felt sense we meet on common unifying ground where we are able to hold all differences in connectedness. This

Evangelho sentido - Deixe que seu corpo interprete o evangelho
Como a Focalização pode ajudar a criarmos um relacionamento experiencial com o evangelho.
Há 7 anos Matheus lidera o grupo de interação sentida com o evangelho. Matheus lê lentamente uma passagem selecionada de um dos quatro relatos evangélicos do Novo Testamento sobre a vida de Jesus e, após um momento de silêncio, todos são convidados a prestar atenção a tudo o que pode surgir no corpo. Cada experiência recebe consideração. As experiências partilhadas se espalham para o grupo multiplicando os benefícios de uma pessoa para todos.
Embora estejamos lidando com textos cristãos sagrados, pessoas de todas as religiões (ou não religiosas) são muito bem-vindas para participar e compartilhar.

Imagine being really present in the here-and-now…enjoying interpersonal moments with the freedom to be yourself, to feel good – to experience surprise and delight instead of repetitive, stressful patterns of interaction.
SOF teaches us to untie the KNOTS and NOTS that interfere with relating to others, enabling us to overcome blocks, fears, and automatic behaviors. In this workshop, we shall take a journey where we will explore how meeting our self and the other in an SOF way through the elements of Earth, Water, Fire & Air influences, transforms, nourishes, and creates a new living field of connectedness and possibilities in us and between us.
The workshop will include presentations, guided experiential and breakout room exercises, and time for sharing

Thinking at the Edge (TAE) is a practice for bringing your felt ideas to life. It is a methodology for learning to think with the felt sense, so that thought is integrated with the whole of our experiencing. It is a powerful tool for moving from a vague sense of something we know to bringing those “somethings” to life. You can read more about TAE here.
The TAE-fest is intended as a light-hearted opportunity to explore TAE. Six teachers will offer you opportunities to touch into the power of TAE. If you are a beginner, it allows you to explore the potential of TAE. If you are already familiar with it, the TAE-fest can

Eastern Time (New York)
A creative, visual way to parse the threads of our inner experience that get tangled in fraught relational situations. Based on the NVC practice of identifying our feelings and needs—we will tease out the finer threads that make up our own unique tapestries. Perceptions, fears, hopes, beliefs, values, and needs may be some threads to gently untangle. The intention of this practice is for us to feel held in the care of our own and others’ witnessing – and a way to clear space around the Heart for the flow of vulnerability, connection, and healing.

Experiencing and the Creation of Meaning (Gendlin, 1962/1997) is a seminal work from Gendlin's early years. It is the theoretical cornerstone for practices such as "Focusing" and "Thinking at the Edge".
This work explores in detail how words and felt sense support each other. The more you unpack the work, the more you will see what roles words and felt sense each play in "forming a felt sense," "getting a handle," and "resonating the handle."

Do you dread speaking in public? Or maybe you enjoy it, but get very nervous?
Maybe you know you have as much to say as anyone else and a part of you really wants to give more talks.
But another part is terrified you’ll mess up, another is saying you’re no good, and yet another is annoyed that you feel like this. There are almost too many parts to keep track of, and each talk brings the same old smorgasbord of misery.
This course will help you develop a whole new way of approaching this issue of public speaking. You will be asked to deliver a short talk in front of the group in week 5, and given some skills training to help you do that. But skills training is a small component of this course.
