Safety, Nourishment and Deep Connection: Accessing the Gifts of Full Body Contact in Focusing Partnership

Saturday July 9, 2016
An Online Class Facilitated by Jocelyn Kahn

Part of the Focusing Highlights International Series 

No, this class is not about exploring the benefits of full-body hugs in your Focusing partnerships! It is about going beyond body awareness to being in deep internal contact with your own body, and exploring what that can bring to your Focusing partnerships. This is a highly experiential class in which participants will experiment with a series of small "stretches in consciousness." Participants may find that these "stretches" deepen their sense of internal safety, nourishment and connection within their Focusing partnerships. And of course something different, or something more, may come as well.

Here is the basic structure:

  1. Jocelyn will guide participants in a series of short Embodiment attunements exploring aspects of inhabiting our bodies, as opposed to simply being aware of our bodies. Each attunement will take you a little deeper into the body. Although there will be some brief discussion providing context as to why these "consciousness stretches" are specifically useful to Focusing partnership, this exploration will be deeply experiential. (about 60 minutes)
  2. Having stretched our sense of what it is to live out of the internal depth of the body, class members will now let all of that go, and break out into Focusing partnerships. (about 30 minutes)
  3. And now, having experienced how these stretches in consciousness have influenced their Focusing partnerships, the class will come back together and spend the last half-hour sharing their discoveries. (about 30 minutes)


Please note that this webinar is intended for people with at least basic partnership skills and experience. It should be of special interest to you if you enjoy exploring Focusing and spirituality or exploring shared fields; if you wish to feel less overwhelmed by the world; if you wish to feel less distant from the world; and/or if you simply wish to live more fully in your body - and thus, the world - every day.
