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.

Ann Weiser Cornell Jinevra Howard Carol Nickerson
Not feeling good about yourself can be like living under a dark cloud that casts a gloomy shadow on whatever you say, do, think, feel… And that makes life harder than it has to be.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. You can learn how to handle emotional triggers, difficult habits, and inner critics in a way that leaves you feeling better about yourself. Let us help you get started (and share what you can do to keep going!).

Resilience is what we need if life is not going the way we would like it to go. When we encounter setbacks, resilience helps us to cope with and to prevent stress.

Resilience is not a quality of your character but a skill you can develop. Resilience is also not one-dimensional but exists out of different exponents.

There is a relation between resilience and an inner feeling of safety. The extent of your resilience is not a fixed given, you can help it grow and expand.

In this webinar you will explore your resilience. You will find your inner sources that can help you to develop and feed your own resilience and the resilience in your clients. Aaffien will be sharing from her experience in Focusing, Positive Psychology and Trauma-work to
