An Online Class Facilitated by Fiona Parr
Part of The Focusing Highlights Series
Develop your resourcefulness for your Focusing practice, and deepen your spiritual connection.
Focusing is a truly wonderful ability for life. It enables you to gain an invaluable resource and support for your life.
Focusing works best when you can be fully present, grounded and aware, as well as empathic and accepting of yourself and your Focusing partner. Based on Fiona's chapter in the forthcoming book ‘Senses of Focusing’, we will explore some of the deeper riches of the Focusing/Listening experience.
There will be presentations of some of the aspects and qualities that help you to become the best Focuser and Listener that you can be. You will learn how you can develop the qualities that are needed, through guided Focusing exercises with feedback and questions afterwards. The qualities and aspects we will explore include awareness and presence, self-compassion and self-empathy, empathy for your Focusing partner, self-understanding and paying attention to the flow of life.
This Focusing Highlight is for all Focusers who want to deepen your Focusing and listening abilities. Some familiarity with Focusing will be helpful, although all are welcome to attend.
