Ruth Hirsch in Venice
An introductory workshop to explore the range of feelings related to growing older in a safe, supportive space. At the same time we'll open to the value and new opportunities inherent in this stage of life. We'll also take a look at recent literature to get a sense of various perspectives and ideas about aging, and then use Focusing to illuminate ways forward for each of us. .

The experiential workshop will help you begin to develop a conscious and compassionate relationship with aging. With increased clarity and peace of mind, you can move forward and enjoy this stage of life more fully. Loss and growth are part of aging. With Focusing we can grieve the former, enjoy the latter, and use both as fuel to move forward. This is an introduction to this deep, healing

The world in a tea cup Vera Rolfine Fryd Lyngmo
(timing should be ok for the Americas)
“The essence of working with another person is to be present as a living being. And that is lucky, because if we had to be smart, or good, or mature, or wise, then we would probably be in trouble. But, what matters is not that. What matters is to be a human being with another human being, to recognize the other person as another being in there.”

(Gendlin 1990, p. 205)

BIG TALK APRIL 16, 2023
The spirit of Focusing is often associated with gentle penetrating illumination, empathic conversation with space for pauses and deep listening. Activism, on the other hand, is associated with determination, passionate protest and insistent steps toward social change. Although these movements are both ways of pursuing change and growth, they seem to march to very different drums.

Ann Weiser Cornell
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.

5-Tage-Oster-Retreat, 05.-10. April 2023, bei Bonn, Germany

mit Amona Buechler & Uta Buechler
Focusing und Authentic Movement sind sanfte und tief transformierende Wege, entspannter in dir selbst anzukommen und lebendiger im Moment zu leben. Sie unterstützen ein vertieftes Wahrnehmen von Körper und Gefühlen, in Bewegung und in Stille. So kannst Du zunehmend flexibel auf die sich ständig wandelnden inneren Zustände und äußeren Umstände reagieren… kreativ, wach, verspielt und mit innerer Ruhe und Gelassenheit.
