An Online Class Facilitated by Mary Jennings
Part of The Focusing Highlights Series
What if you were to find some simple doorways into what Gendlin calls the ‘implicit intricacy’… the ‘more’… so that you could say more of what you mean with greater clarity and creativity? Gendlin developed ‘certain genuine steps’– in Focusing and in Thinking at the Edge (TAE) – and from these steps emerge simple practices you can use in your everyday life. The approach here is to take some of the practices Gendlin developed for more formal practices such as theory or concept development and use them for specific interests. When you make these practices your own, they can support you in many ways. In this webinar, we will do exercises together, and we will also dip into some pieces from writers, poets & artists to see how they work with the implicit intricacy — you can work in this way too! Participants should have some experience of Focusing, felt sensing and listening, though all are welcome to attend. You may be curious about using felt-sensing in new ways, and having some fun along the way.

Bio:
Mary Jennings is a Coordinator & Focusing Trainer as well as a Mindfulness Teacher. Mary has a background in communications and has worked with many organisations over the years in the area of brand identity. Inspired by Gendlin’s Philosophy of the Implicit, particularly in the area of language, she is interested in how we can use Gene’s insights to fully express more of what we know in fresh, felt-sensed language. Her approach is to facilitate people to draw on their own experience, drawing out the richness that is already there, using accessible, playful practices.
