Do you dread speaking in public? Not just giving talks, but even speaking up in meetings, or at networking events?

Or maybe you enjoy it, but still get very nervous?

Perhaps a part of you wants to speak up more.

But another part is terrified, and yet another is annoyed that you feel like this.

There are almost too many parts to keep track of, and each speaking occasion brings the same old smorgasbord of misery.

Wouldn't it be nice to work with your parts in a way that brings change? And wouldn't it be nice to learn some speaking skills to help you become more articulate and focused?

This course can help you with both.

W wielkiej rodzinie focusingowej szukamy spotkania słowiańskich dusz …nie przejmując się geografią ani kilometrami, które nas dzielą … Tak jak zawsze to spotkanie  oczu i serc…w poszukiwaniu tego co chce się wyłonić, urodzić czy rozplątać…z chęcią znalezienia słów i sposobów wyrażenia „tego wszystkiego” co jeszcze niewypowiedziane, a tak żywo obecne .

Would you benefit from a dedicated space to renew and reflect?

As we enter the time of loving others, may we have dedicated space to connect to deep self-connection and love for ourselves. We invite you to join us in tuning inward, away from distractions, and re-engaging with your inner self more profoundly. We will explore clearing a space, background feelings, and how we might bring this awareness in this upcoming season.

The course is an opportunity to spend time with your wanting or project to integrate Focusing into your life—whether personally or professionally—in both an embodied and more than logical way. Like being in contact with a yet undiscovered treasure box. With FOCUSING, a practice laid out by philosopher and psychotherapist Eugene T. Gendlin, you will get in touch with your Felt Sense and be able to develop surprisingly fresh understandings that make a difference, especially in how you are with your special project or issue. By adding certain moves of THINKING AT THE EDGE (TAE), another practice Gendlin created, with Mary Hendricks and Kye Nelson, we will show you how you can speak more and more precisely from your Felt Sense. In doing so, you will discover important details by redefining

Ann Weiser Cornell
As these uncertain times continue to challenge us in unprecedented ways, our need for connection and emotional support is greater than ever.

This is a 30-minute free webinar (with Ann Weiser Cornell) with warm, positive tips for emotional self-care in these challenging times. Each month is different as Ann responds to the present moment and whatever the group is bringing.

Our hope is that you’ll leave the webinar with a greater sense of resilience and some relief from the stressful feelings you might be having. And that you’ll know you are not alone.
