Writing can be a powerful vehicle of embodied wisdom if we give the process time to unfold, using our Focusing Practice. We will explore language which forms from implicit experiencing. Through evocative writing practices, words are invited to come from Felt Sense memories.
Ann will be sharing some simple tools you can use in your own writing practice, including experience from her own multi-chaptered writing journey. Participants will be guided through a writing prompt, and have time to write during the session. There will also be some time to ask questions.
This session is aimed at writers of all levels: anyone who can journal belongs here.

In this introductory workshop (FOT-1: Learning How the Body Speaks and Listening so it Heals), you’ll begin to learn the basic steps of Focusing so that you can incorporate Focusing in your healing practice! I also offer a two-year Focusing Training Program that leads to certification for those interested.
Learn among a supportive community of therapists, healing professionals, and spiritual seekers. Join us. :)
An embodied and relational approach to unwinding stress and trauma for therapists and healing professionals. Leads to certification if desired.
This Focusing training is not your typical continuing education for healing professionals! Instead of teaching you a technique to do to someone, Focusing training reveals a naturally occurring, innately powerful, self-healing process. Focusing is psychological, philosophical, and touches spiritual edges as it takes you deeply into your own experiencing.
A core value of this training is developing you – the healing professional – and how you incorporate your personal Focusing process into your healing practice with others. Join us. :)
Tired of those relentless inner voices that seem intent on punishing or derailing you? At the same time, are you almost as weary of striving to subdue them, to find sanctuary from their often toxic messages? Join us as we explore a novel approach to heal the inner critic and to build strengths to experience more of what makes life worth living.
Based on extensive experience and research on how to best work with the Inner Critic and to promote more joy in life, this experiential workshop includes:
Discussion of related research and philosophies to further illuminate the topic
Time for group and partner practice of different approaches
Supplementary articles and exercises provided in manual to augment material presented in class
In this Roundtable we will explore our relationship with our voices today. We will visit the source of the sound within us, gently inviting it to express itself in the way it wants to do in that moment. NOTE - there are 2 sections offered, this section and Monday May 3 - 1 pm - 3 pm NY time. Register for only one please.

Las practicas tutorizadas de Focusing son una parte fundamental en el proceso formativo. En ellas se aprende a facilitar a otras personas el proceso experiencial de Focusing.
Para acompañar estos procesos es necesario adquirir las actitudes básicas de este modelo, su metodología y los recursos suficientes para poder adaptarse a las necesidades individuales de la persona que va a enfocar.
Se adaptarán también los conocimientos necesarios en función del ámbito en el que se aplicara Focusing: psicoterapia, educación, salud, crecimiento personal, etc.
En estos espacios formativos y experienciales se combina el aprendizaje individual enriquecido siempre por la participación del grupo.
PART ONE - SPEAKING FROM YOUR BODILY KNOWING
Let yourself be surprised and inspired as your rich bodily-knowing unfolds. By connecting to your implicit knowing, you will find new, deeper and clearer meanings of a subject you choose. In our online training, we will gently guide you to the mysteries of Thinking at the Edge (TAE). Along with learning the 14 steps of TAE, you will experience the spirit of TAE through playful exercises. Our class consists of three parts, with eight classes each.
We welcome Focusers and non Focusers.
In part one - Speaking from your Bodily Knowing - we will guide you through the first five steps of TAE. You will find your own language by working with personal experiences that are relevant for your topic and by reflecting your own meaning of

Do you long to contribute to the world from 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.

- Late Ed McMahon, co-founder Bio-Spiritual Focusing
El ser humano nace frágil, desvalido, incapaz de cubrir por sí mismo sus necesidades básicas necesarias para vivir y crecer. Necesita cuidados básicos imprescindibles, pero sobre todo necesita sentirse amado, protegido y respetado.
Esa pequeña persona depende de lo que reciba de su entorno, de los padres o cuidadores para que sus potencialidades se desplieguen de forma sana y completa.
Ocurre que, cuando la persona se hace mayor y va cumpliendo años, ese pequeño niño sigue estando con el adulto y sigue guardando en su interior el concepto que se forjó de sí mismo y de su valía personal en las experiencias vividas que formaron parte de muchos momentos de su infancia: esos mensajes y esas experiencias que le enseñaron cómo conseguir el amor de su padre y su
