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 will be given to each participant as well as assigned partnerships for each of the 4 class dates. The cost is based on a sliding scale principle, normally $175, but interested individuals who cannot afford that amount should still apply. Please email or call Amaryn for more information. See more details.

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.

This free online conversation is Part of the Focusing Roundtable series especially for TIFI members.
Using brief Gendlin quotes, this Roundtable will help us develop an explicit structural political consciousness. The goal of our hosts is to increase awareness of the political context in which we live, and to make sure our Focusing work is truly expressing our values as well as our needs.

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.

An Online, Interactive 8-Session Course Facilitated By Matanel Weissman.
Eight 3-Hour Sessions On Saturdays starting on the 5th of September , 2020 At 11:00am - 2:00pm Eastern Time.
"Inward listening is a dialogue in which "I" and "what comes" both participate and change".…..In that dialogue I do not become less than in my usual ways of living. I become more than I was..... (Gendlin, 1985, The obedience pattern).
As Focusers we are used to use Language in a felt-sense oriented way: "I can sense 'it' in my chest", "something feels heavy in my throat". Is the 'Self' another content? How can we explore 'The Self

Complex Trauma leads to a disintegration of the sense of Self that makes normal functioning very difficult. Planning your life, relationships or even simple decision making becomes incredibly difficult because a solid sense of Self is missing. Powerful emotions such as guilt, shame and insecurity flood the field of awareness and valuable energy is wasted as conflicted inner parts fight each other to a standstill.
By using the most modern brain scanning technology I have been able to literally see how Quantum Focusing works to improve the the quality of my client's lives and also to understand how changes in the Quantum field of awareness can facilitate a harmonious healing of conflicted parts and this leads to an improvement in the client's life situation.

How can we make a change in our unconscious, consciously?
How can we attract the right people and things to us?
How can we take our lives a step further even when the future does not function as safe ground?
A change in the body is a change in the cosmos — it is a change in the Forces attraction of the subconscious.
The body mediates between our awareness and the occurring. In Focusing, When we turn in with an issue or a question, a 'Felt Sense' forms. A 'Felt-sense' is all the external and personal relevant information, that the body crystallize to one concrete feeling that we can relate to directly. When we have all the relevant information, it becomes clear what is the next step in our life.
