Miko Brown - Focusing as a Liberatory Process

February 18, 2023
An Online Class Facilitated by Miko Brown

Part of The Focusing Highlights Series

How might Focusing be understood as a liberatory process that enables a sense of carrying forward even within oppressive contexts? Can a Focusing-orientation facilitate an empowered sense of self-direction that supports individuals and social change movements in organizing for our collective carrying forward? This webinar will invite an exploration of our innate capacity for self-direction and how the wisdom of our inner unfolding — as accessed through Focusing — can help us to live fuller and more liberated lives.
