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.

TIFI Highlights logo Beth Mahler
This Highlight will give you a two hour look into Clearing Space and Making Space. 

A human being can tune in to the physical and emotional body of the Self, and the relational self, orient through engaging with Self in its dynamic state of current balance. Clearing Space provides a freshly new perspective as a source for connecting with your own unique human potential. 

Using didactic learning, guided experience, and demonstration, participants will be able to come into new ideas, energizing their own creativity for Clearing Space and its many therapeutic values.  Whether you are new to Clearing Space or looking to seek new insights that were not present at the start, you belong here.

All are welcome to attend. Some familiarity with Focusing

Essentials of Focusing-Oriented Relational Psychotherapy
A new study group exploring how Focusing and relational perspectives can deepen and empower therapeutic relationships.
PART ONE: Eugene Gendlin’s Philosophy for Clinicians

In this series we will enter into a new world of process thinking rather than our familiar unit thinking. This awareness of how we are interacting rather than what we are talking about gives the therapy relationship a new environment, a new home base.

Evelyn Fendler-Lee. The course integrates many ideas I've developed during the last ten years of teaching Thinking at the Edge and 'Philosophy-into-Practice' classes, and while I was applying TAE in business for innovation and knowledge transfer in teams.
This course integrates the two methods, Focusing and TAE, and combines personal growth and creative deep thinking. It brings in more of Gendlin's philosophy and provides applications of specific thought-movements. With Thetaland®--The Game of Inquiry thinking with the felt sense becomes flexible, accessible, and playful.

"Thought-Movements with the Felt Sense" is for you when you already have some experience in Focusing and Focusing partnership and are interested to learn more about thinking from a felt sense.
Or you are seeking a certification path that includes Focusing, TAE, and other practices coming from Gendlin’s philosophy.
If you are already certified, you might want to expand your experience and knowledge about the philosophical

Es un curso experiencial.

The FORCE team is gearing up for our third ONLINE COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT TRAINING PROJECT starting Oct. 6th. This innovative learning experience is a response to the current urgent need for real conversation across differences. It offers a way to explore the question: Can the ideas and skills of Eugene Gendlin’s Focusing help us as individuals and communities to heal our polarizations and disconnections? Can Focusing be the yeast that enables the bread of genuine relating to rise? This project is a passionate call designed to cultivate visionary leadership in facilitating community creativity, cohesion and resilience.

The training is a “pay it forward” project based on the conviction that participants will bring their increased awareness and skills to community life.

NOTE: Registrants will benefit from having attended or viewed the Highlight recording prior to the workshop. If you did not previously register for the Highlight, you may register for the Post-Highlight recording by emailing [email protected]

There are many varieties of traditional prayer. The act of pray-ing expands the meaning of being human, of being fully human. 

In this workshop we will explore and develop a new kind of prayer consciousness:  a lucid prayer movement that transforms our life experience - free of theological underpinnings. 

Attending the workshop live is encouraged as there will be exercises in breakout rooms, though all registrants will receive a link to the recording afterwards.

Therapist Roundtables Julie Ramsey Mary Ann Schleinich Steve Moscovitch
This Therapists’ Circle will draw from Gene’s 1991 article, “On emotion in therapy.” We will distinguish emotions from feelings and the felt sense, and talk about how we work with them--navigating in and out of their terrain, with the goal of serving therapeutic change.
