Sorry registration is closed due to a full event and full wait list. This free online conversation is Part of the Focusing Roundtable series especially for TIFI members.
In this Roundtable, we will explore and experience how the Writing and Focusing processes influence each other. We will look for ways to connect Focusing to our writing practice to facilitate more clarity and depth to our writing and more ease in the process. We will discuss ways to use Focusing to get to the heart of our Writing.

Beginning in 2021, we are building an On-Going Learning Community for Mastery in Guiding. Although this community is not geared toward Focusing certification, we understand and believe in the transformational power of our one-to-one relationships. We are excited about the variety of training backgrounds coming together here and we also are grounding in Inner Relationship Focusing as a common experience and language from which to share and grow.
This course meets 10 times for 1.5 hours and continues with on going monthly gatherings.

We are excited to announce our very first Changes Group, which will take place on Sunday, February 7, 2021, 1:30p.m.-3:00pm EST via Zoom. Experienced Focusers as well as those with a basic proficiency in Focusing are welcome to attend. Our first meeting will feature Arnold Zeman, CFT, who will give a brief talk on Gendlin's "Let your body interpret your dreams." We are anticipating an exciting group and are hoping that you will join us!
My approach to teaching Focusing is to show you how it is based on a natural ability that we all have. For people who are new to Focusing, and Focusers who want a creative framework to further develop their skills.

Gene Gendlin’s classic work, Let Your Body Interpret Your Dreams, explains how to use Focusing and your Felt Sense of a dream to plumb its depth, discover its hidden meaning, and carry your living forward. In this Workshop, you'll learn how to apply his distinctive, bi-directional approach to understanding and living forward from your dreams.

Our exploration will include guided attunements, group sharing, Focusing breakout triads, and reflection as we harvest both old and new connections with gentle curiosity and embodied presence.

This is a 4 week course that looks at the fundamental question of how "Healing" or "Wholeness" arises. Focusers are very well aware of the dangers of becoming merged with a dominant part, which can often lead to feelings of emotional overwhelm and compulsive behaviour. An essential part of the process of healing is to create space and for the observing self to keep the right distance to the part - so that a felt shift can take place. I used to think that was it ! But now with the availability of modern brain scans of a Focusing client of mine I now realise that for "Complete Healing" to take place an extra step is needed....

Focusing Highlights is a series of interactive, online pay-what-you-can classes.
From his perspective as a philosopher, Severson suggests connections between Gendlin’s philosophy of language and the contemporary problems of systemic racism. In this webinar, Severson will investigate some of the philosophical roots of Gendlin’s philosophy, with a focus on the problem of racism in modern American society.
This class is oriented toward therapists and academics with an interest in the connection between Gendlin’s work and the lived experience of language and race, though all are welcome to attend.

When you gaze up at the stars at night, do you have a sense of being a loved and cherished part of a larger compassionate system?
Or do you feel small and insignificant, and that the universe is cold, chaotic, and uncaring?
Here’s what I’ve learned: The difference between these two worldviews is not an intellectual decision. It’s something you can feel in the wisdom of your body.
Over my 49 years of listening inwardly using Focusing, I’ve made an astonishing discovery: The more I listen within, the more I feel connected to what is much bigger than me.
Join me and explore how inner awareness can connect you to the spiritual dimension.

As a result of the many folks interested in the December Introductory Class and our commitment to maintain a small study group with individual attention, we have added this Introductory class to begin January 24, 2021. The class is deliberately kept small to ensure each participant ends with a complete understanding of the process and begins to experience the benefits of what Focusing can provide. Individual attention and sessions will be given to each participant by one or both teachers as well as assigned partnerships between class dates. Please email Laura or Amaryn on [email protected] for more information. See more details.

Focusing is most easily learned in the company of others and this introduction offers the perfect first step in that process.
The workshop is a three-hour experiential introduction to Inner Relationship Focusing. We'll learn an exercise to clear your inner space in preparation for a Focusing session. We'll cover the basic elements of Inner Relationship Focusing. Finally, you'll have a chance to put it into practice in paired duos.
