Integrative Focusing Therapy
The IFT training program is a two-year online training program leading to certification as a Focusing-oriented therapist (FOT). We train therapists to help clients discover their way forward through an embodied experiential process that flows naturally.

The program is built on an underlying theory of the centrality of interaction and how we integrate experience, under ideal situations as well as traumatic circumstances. It consists of four modules:
– You train in three different ways to practice Focusing-oriented therapy (FOT).
– You integrate personal and professional growth in a stimulating process group.

This program offers a lot of flexibility:
– You do not have to commit to the whole training program upfront. You can commit to one

The Therapeutic Us: Working with Groups and Communities
This module of our “Therapeutic Us” seminar will broaden our concept of the “US.”
We have explored how each person has many “parts” and yet is a unique whole, as each dyad is a unique system. Now we will enter the realm of larger systems and discuss theworkings of groups and communities. We each are a kind of group, live in groups and are formed by groups. Yet, there has not been much attention to Focusing-oriented approaches to group facilitation.

ONLINE-ALL SESSIONS WILL BE RECORDED

Focusing Journal Dana Bettina
This workshop is an opportunity to trace and behold the various facets of your life this season, to make meaningful connections among these islands, sense into underwater currents and weather, and widen the capacity to welcome an emerging process. These metaphors allow us to sense into affects and background feelings in our environment, connecting us to our inner life and to one another.

In this form of visual focusing, you will be gently guided to use the page as the ground for your felt process-- to intuitively name and place these islands, using images, colors, words, and movement.

Alexandre Jacquelin Futur is already here
Nous avons le pouvoir de créer notre réalité à un certain niveau, en conscience. A l'écoute de notre sens corporel, nous avons le pouvoir de choisir notre manière de voir les événements de la vie, d'en recevoir les enseignements, de briser les expériences répétitives et de nous diriger vers un futur vertueux, porté par nos aspirations les plus élevées. Au cours de ce stage je vous inviterai et vous guiderai à revenir à la Paix, à l’écoute de votre Être profond, à cultiver la gratitude, à vous projeter et vous aligner avec votre meilleur futur.

This workshop invites us to sense into prevalent, at times diffuse, yet noticeably present forces in our world and in our lives -- what Marine de Freminville has elaborated in her work on Background Feelings.

Using a method of visual focusing, I will guide participants in exploring the felt meanings of these presences on the page--as colors, words, shapes, or movement. A basic template will be shared for you to adjust and re-invent as needed.

The session will comprise of lightly guided solo work followed by sharing and reflections to carry your process further.

Ann Weiser Cornell
As these uncertain times continue to challenge us in unprecedented ways, our need for connection and emotional support is greater than ever.

This is a 30-minute free webinar (with Ann Weiser Cornell) with warm, positive tips for emotional self-care in these challenging times. Each month we'll work with a specific topic like the inner critic, being calm, getting unstuck, self-doubt, making decisions, and more.

Our hope is that you’ll leave the webinar with a greater sense of resilience and some relief from the stressful feelings you might be having. And that you’ll know you are not alone.

Have you noticed how the holiday season has a way of intensifying the way we feel? For some, this time of the year feels uplifting, full of celebration and connection. And, for others this time of the year is hard, fraught with family tension, tenderness and loneliness. Perhaps, it’s more of a marbled mix. No wonder this time of year can be so triggering!

Join Lauren for an experiential exploration of how what’s triggering you can grow you. As you’re with the body feel of being triggered in a Focusing way, you create the conditions for tension to ease, insights to emerge and healing to happen.

Some familiarity with Focusing may be helpful but no prior experience with Focusing is required. All are welcome to attend and participate.
