Jerusalem Time
At some time or another, all of us have been in conflict with someone that we love or that is significant in our lives. Perhaps it was a parent, a child, a partner, a friend, a colleague…whoever it was, something happened, something got in the way of the relationship.
In Social Oriented Focusing ׂׂ(SOFׁ) there is an understanding that the relationship is more important than the conflict, and from this perspective, we can use SOF tools to stop our automatic patterns of reacting and actually manage the conflict.

Training in Embodied Critical Thinking and Understanding (TECTU) is an interdisciplinary and international European Erasmus+ training program initiated by philosophers, cognitive scientists, environmental designers, anthropologists, and sociologists, tailored for students, researchers, and professionals from all fields. Immerse yourself in novel methodologies - such as Thinking-at-the-Edge, Focusing, Micro-phenomenology, Environmental Immersion, Experiential Listening, and contemplative approaches. These methods can be applied to any form of scientific inquiry, particularly when exploring uncharted territory, fostering a deeper understanding of your subject matter, yourself, and others.
The course will take place online (12 webinars) and in person (one week summer school). The summer school will be carried out in Bielefeld, Germany.

Central European Summer Time
Untangling® Retreats are 6-day residential retreats for people with Focusing experience who want to apply our Untangling® method to life’s most hard-to-change issues.
We’ve been teaching Untangling® Retreats in 15 countries over the past 25 years, helping thousands of people learn our method, getting responses like this one from Paul Fitzgerald: "The experience was like a dissolving of an old way of seeing life and having new eyes to engage life with more freedom. I'd highly encourage anyone interested in deepening their Focusing to take this course."
We believe that transformation occurs most readily in an atmosphere of respect, acceptance, openness, warmth, playfulness, and support. Our mission is to enable you to live from your vibrant,

For both philosophers, encountering Gendlin sparked a deep connection—something just "clicked." Their openness to taking a leap into philosophical practice and its underlying process philosophy allowed them to engage with his ideas in a transformative way.
This is a "pay what you can" event. It will be recorded (except small group breakout rooms) for later viewing if you cannot attend live.
