This course is designed to provide practical ways on how to use language in clear and engaging ways, saying more of what you mean. It takes its inspiration and many of its practices from the insights and work of Gene Gendlin.
We will use examples from our own experience, and many from writers, poets, artists and other Focusing practitioners along the way. We will do exercises together and you are encouraged to try these out between sessions on your own projects.
LEVEL 2 is about deepening into the Focusing and Listening process by looking more at the role of the Companion. A companion to ourselves as well as others. I introduce neuroscience here. We develop further our personal concept of creating an inner space that welcomes it all and adapting that space as we follow our process.
Class meets six times for 2 hrs each.
Mondays 7-9pm EDT beginning September 13
In this Roundtable we would like to invite you to explore how different forms of symbolization and activities can help children and teenagers to connect with their inner self-experience. We will share case examples and videos and discuss ready-to-use techniques that can help young people with self-expression in an open, safe, supportive environment.

Note two sections: Sept 9 and Sept 17. Register for only one section please. Many of us work with, inhabit or experiment with practices that foster mindfulness. The Roundtable is an opportunity for all of us to come together and compare our experiences. We want to be become more aware and conscious of how these practices can work together, or understand what happens inside us when we are drawing on one or another to both.

Esta serie brinda un espacio para conectar miembros hispanohablantes del Instituto Internacional de Focusing (TIFI). Es un espacio para aprender y expandir el conocimiento sobre Focusing y temas relacionados. El concepto de "Cafecitos" viene de la idea de estar en la casa de un amigo/a y conversar tomándose un café. Queremos que estos Cafecitos se sientan acogedores y que tú te sientas en casa durante estas entrevistas. Cada Cafecito tiene a un nuevo entrevistado quien compartirá su conocimiento sobre algún tema en especial con la comunidad hispanohablante. Estos Cafecitos son sin cargo para los miembros del TIFI con lo cual es condición estar asociado al TIFI para participar. Si aún no eres miembro de TIFI puedes acceder a www.focusing.org/membership o escribirnos a info@
