Where & When
Drawing on Gendlin’s philosophy, one that has rich insights into what makes us truly human, we will explore how to pay attention to ourselves and accompany others in a deeper way. With freshly minted exercises and focusing exchanges, this workshop goes beyond ‘the six movements’ and conventional ‘focusing partnerships’ to bring us to a space of deeper presence and more spacious listening. Here we may find more possibilities for living forward.
We will explore together how, when we really pause, we are actively opening that possibility space. We will experiment with having ‘Focusing conversations’, a practice in listening attentively to those tentative, unclear, felt-sense-formations that we might otherwise pass over in ourselves and others. We will realise how (quite naturally) we can create new phrases, new metaphors to say more of what we mean.
Open to experienced Focusers who want to refresh and enhance their practice to enable deeper presence and more possibilities.
