At some time or another, all of us have been in conflict with someone that we love or that is significant in our lives. Perhaps it was a parent, a child, a partner, a friend, a colleague…whoever it was, something happened, something got in the way of the relationship.
In Social Oriented Focusing ׂׂ(SOFׁ) there is an understanding that the relationship is more important than the conflict, and from this perspective, we can use SOF tools to stop our automatic patterns of reacting and actually manage the conflict.

Relate to yourself and others with freshness, emotional intelligence, and an open heart.
In this gentle, meditative process, both the Focuser and the Listener create a deeply welcoming space for whatever arises. Focusing invites you to connect with your felt sense — your inner sense of something. This opens the door to insights and understanding that go far beyond what emotion and intellect alone can offer.

Untangling® Retreats are 6-day residential retreats for people with Focusing experience who want to learn how to apply our Untangling® method to life’s most hard-to-change issues.
We’ve been teaching Untangling® Retreats in 15 countries over the past 25 years, helping thousands of people learn our method, getting responses like this one from Paul Fitzgerald: "The experience was like a dissolving of an old way of seeing life and having new eyes to engage life with more freedom. I'd highly encourage anyone interested in deepening their Focusing to take this course."
