An empathy circle, practiced in a Focusing way, is a regular Focusing exchange, held by the entire group. As such, there is a Focuser, a listener, and the remaining participants act as observers/witnesses. After the Focusing, each are invited to offer an empathic reflection to the Focuser.

Election grief haunting you? Overwhelming you? Join other Focusers to process your grief and to be in community with others. Meeting may include large group shares, small groups, or paired practice. Folks will be invited to speak in a Focusing way about their own grief, shock, despair, etc.
This group is limited to those experiencing grief due to the United States election and the presidential election in particular.
A Changes Group is a free-of-charge, peer-led group that meets so people can exchange Focusing and listening turns in an atmosphere of safety and mutual respect. It's a group for continuing your Focusing practice; no teaching will be done.
We meet on zoom twice per month. We have a centering/grounding practice to begin followed by a check in (usually in breakout rooms), followed by time for practice in groups of two or three. You can also chose to join an empathy circle if you'd like to observe or practice in a bigger group.
Our next Changes Groups are:
-Sunday, November 17th, 6:30-8 pm Eastern
-Thursday, December 5th, 11 am -12:30 pm Eastern
.
Online via Zoom
Topic: Introductory, Beginners-Intermediate, Intermediate/Advanced, Changes Groups
Smartview Conversations is a monthly online gathering to explore application of our Focusing skills to daily life and interactions. Our skill emphasis for 2024 is the Power of AND, how we hold our own space in relationship to others and how we hold space within us for both our right and left hemisphere's perspectives.
For November, we will do body awareness exercises to explore the perspectives of the left and right sides of our body. Most of us will be able to tell how we are wired from this time.
These webinars are FREE to attend. Both experienced Focusers and people new to Focusing are welcome.
We meet on the 3rd or 4th Tuesday, twice in the same day for different time zones. The times are 11:30am - 12:30pm ET New York time and 7:30

A pupa is the safe place for transformation... in nature this is the cocoon or chrysalis. In Focusing, this is the safety of our Focusing attitude and listening partnerships. The use of felt sense body cards catalyze the process by capturing details and helping us notice our patterns and further explicate our process.
The base of the PUPA Focusing Certification Program consists of five courses that cover a journey using the PUPA process. They are designed to not only learn and teach Focusing, but also to get to know and transform yourself, while creating change in the world— by bringing more Focusing into the world.
The additional training requirements provide the skills to teach Focusing and/or guide someone professionally.
