Le Focusing relationnel met une attention toute particulière sur la relation à soie, à l’autre, dans un groupe ou une communauté. Il a comme fondement, la bienveillance envers soi et envers les autres, la pause, la présence et l’accès au ressenti. Il est basé sur la croyance que le Focusing est un langage universel, car tous les humains peuvent ressentir, guider leur vie et leurs actions et créé à partir de ce qu’ils ressentent. (source: Extraits du cahier de formation DFQ 2016)
Cette formation en petit groupe permet d'acquérir les bases pour pratiquer le Focusing en partenariat et aussi de l'intégrer dans son quotidien.

Pacific Time
As life starts to expand again, it might seem like everything is getting easier. And, in some ways, that's true. Yet, there are also challenges (and stressors) you probably haven't had to face for a long time. One thing is for sure, we are in times of unprecedented change (at least in our lifetimes) and that's a hard place to be.
This is a 30-minute free webinar (with Ann Weiser Cornell) with warm, positive tips for emotional self-care in these challenging times.
My 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.
This is our last webinar in 2021. We'll be back next year!

EASTERN TIME (USA)
The next online QF training workshop on Zoom will be on Nov 14th 2021.
This training workshop will train participants in the understanding and use of the Alexander Technique. Focusing and Internal Family Systems and the theory and practice of working with Parts within the circle of the whole. Working with Energetic Connection, both externally in personal relationships, in nature and internally leads to healing of conflicted parts. This then allows a clearing of blockages so that energy can flow freely and effortlessly into action. Creating the future that you want, right now, by living beyond the constrictions of space and time.
By looking at the SPECT brain scan images of a Focusing client we can gain an understanding of basic Neuroscience and see how

Dr. Akira Ikemi first met Gene Gendlin in 1979, then became a graduate student at the University of Chicago where Gene was a professor. The first part of this workshop will begin with Akira Ikemi’s personal reflections about what was inspiring about Gene. Listening to stories like these helps to illuminate and carry forward deeper understandings of the living roots of Focusing and its philosophy— which continues to unfold in new ways today.
Akira Ikemi will then share about the influences of Wilhelm Dilthey’s hermeneutics on Focusing, a method which Gendlin developed. After, Akira Ikemi will lead a Focusing exercise that he created— Crossing with Animals— which helps to teach two concepts of Gene’s philosophy, Experiencing and Crossing. Participants will then learn to

Thinking at the Edge grounds your ideas in your lived experience.
For example:
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. With Thinking at the Edge you can find the unique gifts within the challenges you face.

In this Oceania Roundtable, the question we will explore is "Can Focusing transform how we handle hot potatoes?" We will organize our exploration into two stages, first working in small groups to bring awareness to our own personal patterns of handling hot potatoes and then experimenting by choosing a hot potato to discuss together.

PLEASE NOTE: This class ended on November 17 but you may complete a post registration which will give you access to all recordings and resources until February 28, 2022.
An interactive 4-session course facilitated by Rob Parker. Live sessions on Wednesdays: October 27, November 3, November 10, and November 17, 2021.
The Experience of felt sensing is in many ways at the heart of Focusing and of Gendlin's philosophy of the implicit. But how well do we understand this experience? For example, how is it that the body can “know” something that the mind does not? Isn't "knowing" supposed to happen in the brain?
Using lecture, discussion and experiential exercises, this course will explore Gendlin's understanding of felt sense
