This Roundtable is one in a series on Focusing and Listening. This first one features Interactive Focusing. Interactive Focusing has a good reputation as a very effective method in building healthy relationship between people. What may be less known is that it is a most powerful way to develop empathic listening skills with its unique step-by-step procedures.

The quality of your interactions with other people affects your energy, your mood, and your ability to thrive. If you worry about what other people think, hide your true self, have people in your life whose habits drive you crazy, or get overwhelmed by the feelings of others and pull away... We can help!
In this course, you'll learn how to turn reactions to other people into sources of healing and self-discovery, increase your ability to feel safe with others, embrace positive experiences, and be truly OK being exactly who you are (whether you're alone or with others).
Join us and start having more satisfying experiences with everyone in your life – including yourself!
Is there something that you’d like to do or write about but you lack the confidence to begin? Thinking at the Edge helps you sense into the “more” behind your ideas so that you can write and act from what you know.
Do you long to contribute to the world from the richness of the insights life has given you? With Thinking at the Edge, you delve into your own experience so that your new direction follows from of all you have lived.
Maybe you need clarity and next steps about a persistent problem or a complex issue. Thinking at the Edge training helps you find the unique gifts within the challenges you face.
Gene Gendlin, the “father” of Focusing, said this once when addressing some clinical psychologists:
“I want to start with the most important thing I have to say.
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’d probably be in trouble.
But what matters is not that.
What matters is to be human with another human.”
Heart and Soul centered work is also, at the core, about being a human with another human. And in the heart and art of Focusing, I’ve found nothing better that gives us permission to both let ourselves, and our clients, explore the natural beauty, wonder and messiness of all things human.
Serge Prengel is inviting you to a 90-minute workshop on Focusing. A free workshop. This will give you a gut-level understanding of how our bodily felt sense functions as an inner GPS.
Möchtest du dein Verständnis über Gott und die Welt erweitern, deine Sicht der Dinge von vorgegebenen Kategorien befreien, neue eigene Gedanken entwickeln?
Vielleicht möchtest du deine eigenen, über das allgemeine Verständnis hinausgehende Gedanken ordnen, in eine kommunizierbare Form bringen, die ausdrückt, was du wirklich meinst?
Vielleicht hast du einen Auftrag zu erfüllen und möchtest dir klar werden, wie du diesen mit deinen eigenen Intensionen verbinden kannst.
Der interaktive Online-Kurs gibt einen spielerischen ersten Einstieg in die grundlegenden Prinzipien und Bewegungen von Thinking at the Edge (TAE). Übungen mit Texten, Bildern und Musik lockern den Kurs auf und tragen zum Lernprozess für dein eigenes Thema bei.
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
Questa conversazione online gratuita fa parte della serie Focusing Roundtable specialmente per i membri di TIFI.
Questa serie offre ai membri un'opportunità preziosa per instaurare una conversazione tra pari con altri membri che parlano italiano e che condividono interessi relazionati al Focusing. Ci auguriamo inoltre che questo programma incoraggi altri a promuovere ulteriori tavole rotonde in Italiano,nel futuro, per continuare la serie.
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.

“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.”
