Please consider yourself to be warmly invited to our next monthly on-line Pause for Presence gathering on Saturday 16th January.

In our last gathering the image of the ocean floor emerged with a sense of its deep vibrantly alive stillness, unperturbed by but not separate from the wind-swept waves and cross-currents on its surface. This image speaks eloquently of the dimension of Presence that can be felt inside us as "an underlying energy field of living Presence", always alive, at peace and undisturbed by the waves of thoughts, emotions and physical discomforts you may experience on the surface.
The idea of these monthly 90-minutes gatherings is to come to rest in this underlying field of Presence - a sense of the aliveness felt within the body and around

Introduction to Focusing As Active Pause

Focusing ist ein von Eugene Gendlin entwickelter, schlichter Prozess, der uns darin unterstützt, die uns innewohnenden Quellen reichen Wissens zu erschließen. Indem wir uns mit einem offenen urteilsfreien Gewahrsein dem körperlichen Erleben zuwenden und damit vertraut werden, kann sich der darin wohnende Wandlungsraum öffnen.

Jede/r kann diese nach Innen gerichtete ganzheitliche Aufmerksamkeit lernen und so eine neue Selbstwirksamkeit im Leben entdecken. In dieser Haltung können wir auch andere kompetent darin begleiten, innere Bewegungen zu erspüren und seelischen Prozessen dahinter Raum geben. Das hilft Blockaden zu lösen, wirkt heilsam und erlaubt uns, eine neue Form der Intimität in uns selbst, mit anderen und dem ganzen Leben zu entdecken.

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.

Online via Zoom

Life is hard right now. Are your emotions making it even harder?
Most of us are feeling the weight of current events…We're trying to manage difficult emotions in challenging times. It isn't easy. Even when you know what to do to help your feelings (and so many of us don't).

If you'd like to find a new way to respond to triggered emotions - one that brings relief (and not more pain), join me for my newest free video and email series, Living a Less Triggered Life.

You'll learn how to come back to calm when life is hard to handle.

An Invitation to Pause for Presence

“Out beyond ideas of wrong-doing and right-doing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there. And when our souls lie down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about” - Rumi

In challenging times like these, it feels increasingly important to take time to experience a dimension in us that is not touched and affected by what is going on around and within us. This inner dimension does not disconnect us emotionally from what is happening but it allows us to rest and resource ourselves so that we can stay open and be more fully present to Life.

Rumi's poem above is an invitation to rest in this dimension - sometimes called “the underlying field of living Presence"– a

Like Focusing, play is a way to discover our true selves, and connect with others in unexpected ways. In this webinar, we will explore what the intersection of mindful embodied attention and an improvisational attitude might look and feel like. We will blend Focusing with games and exercises adapted from the world of theatrical improvisation. Small group demonstrations will help illustrate this cross-pollination.

All are welcome to attend; no improvisation or Focusing experience is necessary.

Along the path Laura Vaccaro Amaryn
This is an introductory class to Focusing. The class is deliberately being kept small to ensure each participant ends with a complete understanding of the process and begins to experience the benefits of what Focusing can provide. Individual attention and sessions will be given to each participant by one or both teachers as well as assigned partnerships between most class dates. The cost is based on a sliding scale principle, normally $200, but interested individuals who cannot afford that amount should still apply.

The 4 dates are December 19 and 20, 2020, and January 23 and 30, 2021. Please email [email protected] for more information.
