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.

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.

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!

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
