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.

Exploring the vibrant, lived experience of words
In this workshop, we will closely examine Gendlin’s philosophical focus on "transitions." We will experiment with different types of transitions to observe how meaning shifts based on how we connect words and what we do "between" them. We will enact simple exercises with words, and will jointly witness the journeys of insights that arise, even if those words initially seem insignificant or are chosen at random. And we will read passages from Gendlin’s philosophical work to help us understand what is happening.

Eastern (New York Time)
Understanding who we are in an embodied way is a powerful way to grow our emotional regulation and emotional intelligence. When we know what it feels like in our bodies when we get scared, or mad, or are happy—or when more complicated patterns or parts emerge—then we can more quickly notice these shifts in our autonomic nervous system. This clarity helps us know when we need to self-soothe or reach out to others for co-regulation.
The class spends the first three weeks in the grounded parts, building a “safe nest” to do the deeper Focusing on our wounded and protector parts in weeks four to seven. As we map our parts, we also map out our timeline. At first with the key memories, and then with the parts that are connected to the memories. We finish the class by completing
