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.

Smartview Conversations is a monthly online gathering to explore the application of our Focusing skills to daily life and interactions. Utilizing exercises from the Facilitator Guide for Smartview Stories, we will explore and build the resourcing qualities life is asking of us now.
We will model how to create a safe, playful environment that facilitates neural plasticity. These webinars are FREE to attend. Both experienced Focusers and people new to Focusing are welcome. These webinars emphasize Gendlin's action step; how is it we bring Focusing concepts into our daily living.
We meet on the 4th Tuesday, twice in the same day for different time zones. The times are 11:30am - 12:30pm ET New York time and 7:30 - 8:30pm ET New York time.

Dr. Leslie Ellis will share how Focusing can open the doorway to exploring the mysteries of our dream lives. A key aspect of Focusing-oriented dreamwork is Eugene Gendlin’s notion that we can ‘find help’ in every dream. In this introduction, participants will create a dream, find/embody help, and express their findings. In addition to experiential practice, there will also be time for discussion and Q&A.

¿Te gustaría explorar alguna adicción con una práctica libre de intervención y diagnósticos? ¿Sientes inquietudes profundas sobre el por qué y el para qué de esa adicción que repites? ¿Ya lo investigaste pero los formatos te resultan demasiado dictados, rígidos y no te encajan? ¿Te parece que en otros tipos de trabajo se habla mucho pero se escucha y se siente poco? ¿Te inspiraría compartir en un espacio sereno, libre de juicios y desde el respeto mutuo?

This course provides an accessible way to think at the edge by starting from where you are, using TAE steps as flexible tools that can be rearranged, reversed, or changed as needed. We will address not only the prerequisite of having a felt sense but also other challenges, such as managing personal concerns, sustaining the emergence process over time, and integrating both new and existing ideas. Working with images, drawings, movements, and music keeps the course engaging. If you have a project you care about but haven’t yet found the starting point, or if you'd like to try TAE again, this course is for you.
Format: Four weekly classes beginning March 19, one individual session, prompts, and a handout.

Gendlin valued Clearing a Space very highly. How about you? Is Clearing a Space (CAS) a standard part of your own Focusing practice, or your teaching of Focusing? Or have you replaced it with something else – maybe an attunement? Join us to share what place CAS has in your Focusing practice – is it essential, optional, irrelevant or something else?

Eastern (New York) Time
Most of us know that being able to listen in a Focusing way usually requires lots of practice and reflection. Yet, when we speak with others, we often find we have nothing but our habits to guide us. We can’t expect ourselves to automatically be skilled at speaking up, speaking out, speaking to and from our felt sense. Especially when we speak in larger groups, our Focusing skills can disappear! We need a place to practice speaking and some guidance to find a new way.
These Being Focusing Together gatherings will use Gendlin’s little known unpublished manuscript "Fitting In and Pouring Out, and Relating" to help us do just that. We will use our time together to experiment with new patterns and see if we find fresh ways to be Focusing in our group interactions.

Una propuesta vivencial donde el Focusing se convierte en la brújula para explorar la rueda zodiacal como un mapa energético y simbólico encarnado en la experiencia humana. A lo largo del año, exploramos cada fase del ciclo —desde el nacimiento hasta la disolución— escuchando y acompañando lo que emerge en el cuerpo. No se trata de aprender astrología, sino de habitar sus arquetipos como movimientos vivos que ya existen dentro de nosotros desde hace siglos, reconociendo cómo cada vuelta de la Tierra alrededor del Sol refleja estos procesos cósmicos en los movimientos orgánicos internos de nacimiento, maduración, muerte y renovación.

Have a self-care goal that just won't stick?
Join us as we explore the inner and outer dynamics of self-care processes. Utilizing spatial awareness skills to navigate our inner landscape, we lean heavily on writing, art and body awareness activities. Our goal is to experience ourselves as living process and find it easier to give ourselves space when we need it to transform patterns that no longer serve us.
Meeting five weeks for 1.5 hours, this series is for All Levels! This space is for those curious about Focusing and looking for a gentle introduction. It's also ideal for an experienced Focuser to explore these challenging tangles with the benefit of a weekly structure. Our time is primarily experiential. We work individually, not partnering

Social Oriented Focusing (SOF) invites us into an embodied practice to untie the KNOTS and NOTS that interfere with relating to others, enabling us to overcome blocks, fears, and automatic behaviors. Imagine being fully present in the here-and-now in a Focusing way, enjoying interpersonal moments with the freedom to be yourself, instead of repeating stressful patterns of separation.
In SOF Course Level 1, we will set out on an SOF journey of discovery from separation to connection. In a safe group setting, we will explore the steps from feeling alone to feeling together, while being our authentic selves.
SOF expands our Focusing awareness allowing us to meet others while remaining intimate with ourselves and our present moment experience, facilitating
