This advanced-level Focusing-Oriented Therapy (FOT) workshop offers a powerful, effective, holistic approach to trauma healing. By working flexibly and creatively with the body’s intelligence and felt sense, the FOT process engages all aspects of trauma—somatic memory and sensations, thoughts and core beliefs, and deep-seated emotions. The workshop runs over three days - August,1 6, 17, and 23.
Canterbury Community Prectinct, Canterbury, (Melbourne), VIC, Australia
Biospiritual Emergent Expression (BEE*) provides a fresh portal into the Felt Sense through pre-verbal Emergent Expression, allowing the Focuser to interact with the felt sense in an organic and spontaneous way without the need for words. Within BEE, Focusers also learn how to incorporate ”Affection Qualities”, the voice of caring-loving presence, as they come into relationship with their voice and its Emergent Expressions.
In this introductory somatic experience, participants will discover a unique Emergent Expression and companioning Affection Qualities that can augment their current Focusing practice.

PART 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. Requires some previous partnership experience.
Join us for an online advanced Focusing class that helps you understand where you are within a process and then, to sense what is needed from you for this situation now. Utilizing Inner Relationship Focusing, Spatial Awareness and Neuroscience concepts, we learn to guide ourselves and others in ways that invite relational trust, lasting change and life forward flow. Valuable practices for healing professionals, teachers, etc. Discount for those repeating.
Our goal here is to return to the essence of Focusing and ourselves as living process. I ask that participants are Focusing weekly with a partner at least one month before class begins and throughout our time together. There is a lot of reading, often more than you might choose to do. We touch on a variety of approaches to learn and practice Focusing. We begin and end remembering that always that which has learned Focusing is Partiality, not Presence. My Part 4 is a great place to return to whenever you would like to go deeper with your process from wherever it is. Requires Part 3 or equivalent experience.
Meets 8-9 times on Wednesdays,7 – 9 pm New York time.
The topic of the upcoming workshop is WANTING. Annat explores this highly common phenomena for many years, and it's unfolding existential influence on our wellbeing and on our relationships. In this experiential 2 days workshop we will become familiarized with HomeFocusing. By forming focusing-oriented relationships, we can reshape our ways of being with ourselves and with others, in our everyday life.
