Focusing Facilitators As The New Educators And Leaders

June 2 2023
An Online Class Facilitated by Lawrence Berger, Katarina Halm, and Rosa Zubizarreta

Part of The Focusing Highlights Series


The program develops in two parts: The Miracle of Focusing as a Hermeneutic Circle and Focusing Facilitators as Educators and Leaders. How does the magic of Focusing happen when we hold open space for all to be seen and heard? Eugene Gendlin was a Heidegger scholar, and he felt that Heidegger’s hermeneutical circle could provide insight into the ground of felt-sensing and implying-into-occurring. The circle of attention, language and bodily understanding that Larry Berger offers has many commonalities with Gendlin’s A Process Model and provides ways to apply Gendlin’s teaching. Larry encourages us to further apply Gendlin’s philosophy in everyday situations, individual and collective living, especially in political environments. Katarina Halm will offer Feldenkrais® practice to further our understanding of the hermeneutical circle. Rosa Zubizarreta will contribute listening and reflection during the first part of this session.
