If you are curious about exploring dreams, this workshop will help you reconnect with your inner life and discover richness and guidance in dreams.

At our last RT on “Psychotherapy in the Time of Existential Threat,” We became intrigued by the question of how we might engender action and what gets in the way of us doing so in a more thoughtful way. So, in this Roundtable, we’ve decided to explore action steps or “what comes after the Ah-ha experience.”

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.

We explore and practice the basic ideas of Focusing: felt sensing, embodied experience, active listening, the six steps, and "parts" (a linguistic trope that helps us hold attention on unclear or uncomfortable aspects of our experiencing).
This section of the course is for beginners, or anyone seeking a refresher. The emphasis is on the skills and practice of Experiential Focusing. There will likely be a mix of experienced and novice students. From here, a student can continue on with the certification program, or join a CHANGES group, or join a part of the course cycle that appeals to them when the time comes around.
