Sandy Jahmi Burg 2024 Empowered to Trust, Creating Space for Lasting Change, Part 4
Our goal here is to return to the essence of Focusing and ourselves as living process. I ask that participants are Focusing weekly with a partner at least one month before class begins and throughout our time together. There is a lot of reading, often more than you might choose to do. We touch on a variety of approaches to learn and practice Focusing. We begin and end remembering that always that which has learned Focusing is Partiality, not Presence. My Part 4 is a great place to return to whenever you would like to go deeper with your process from wherever it is. Requires Part 3 or equivalent experience.

Meets 8-9 times on Wednesdays,7 – 9 pm New York time.

Online via Zoom

DNA of change Serge Prengel
With Integrative Focusing, the goal of lasting change is not separate from how we work to achieve it.
You practice ways to foster a mindful, proactive space in which clients will organically tap into their inner ability to heal and grow.
You develop a quality of presence that allows clients to face what might otherwise feel uncomfortable or even unbearable and allows new possibilities to emerge.
