Rooted meditation woman (Art by Leah Kolidas) Heidi's Table
A daily (weekdays) drop-in class, open to beginners & long-time focusers alike. Class is 45 minutes long.

Come once in a while or every day! (Class meets at 12 PM New York Time / 9 AM Pacific Time)

Each class I will guide you in a brief attunement to help you settle into a sense of ease and grounding in your body. I will offer gentle guidance in going to the more subtle body places beneath the surface of what you might usually refer to as “I.” You will then have the opportunity to practice tuning in and turning toward yourself and what is there for you today in the supportive and friendly environment of the class. Lastly there will be opportunity for questions and reflections.

Feeling at home in your body, receptive and friendly toward

This third part of the Focusing Fundamentals Short Course centers on getting past the most typical blocks to Focusing: inner critics, doubts, sleepiness, distractions, feeling too much or not too much. As we learn how to be present for this in our partners, we also learn how to deepen the process for ourselves.

Le confinement nous a donné l’occasion d’une rencontre internationale (7 pays et une quarantaine de participants étaient présents). Nous avons eu envie de vous proposer une nouvelle rencontre.

En France nous sommes à l’heure du déconfinement et nous vous invitons à réfléchir (à l’aide du sens corporel, bien sûr !) sur ce que vous vivez maintenant et aussi sur ce qui a changé dans votre vie, de nouvelles initiatives, de nouvelles perspectives, des résolutions suivies d’effets… ?

Is the pain of your past limiting your possibilities now?

Are you more emotionally reactive than you need to be? More caught up in unhealthy behaviors? More burdened by negative self-talk? These are all ways that the present is impacted by the past, by trauma in fact. And all that can change -- because cultivating inner relationship through Focusing can heal trauma.

Join Ann Weiser Cornell for this supportive course on Healing Trauma, and start to move your life out of the long shadow of your past.
