Creating Space for Lasting Change Sandy Jahmi Burg, 2024
PART 2 is about deepening into the Focusing and Listening process by looking more at the role of how we companion ourselves as well as others. We develop further our personal concept of creating an inner space that welcomes it all and adapting that space as we follow our process. I introduce relational neuroscience here.

Experience in a beginner partnership course is required. Discount for partnership courses or experience beyond that. A great place for advanced Focusers to return to.

Facilitators Joke and Juli Venue of the workshop_Chateau Faverolles
Inmitten von Felsen, Fluss, Bäumen und Pferden –
in einem Schloss zwischen Elsass und Burgund, nahe Langres in Frankreich.

Dieser Workshop lädt dich ein, dich in Beziehung zu erleben – mit deinem Körper und deiner Mitwelt. In der Begegnung mit Menschen, Tieren und Natur werden persönliche Bedürfnisse sowie zwischenmenschliche Dynamiken sichtbar.

Focusing und personzentrierte Aufstellungen ergänzen sich organisch. Focusing öffnet einen Raum für innere Ausrichtung und Resonanz, während Aufstellungen Einfühlungsvermögen vertiefen und neue Handlungsmöglichkeiten eröffnen. In der Präsenz von Pferden, Bäumen und dem Fluss werden Verbindungen und Perspektiven lebendig.

This workshop invites you to experience yourself in relationship — with your body and the world around you. Encounters with other people, animals, and nature reveal personal needs and interpersonal dynamics.

Focusing and person-centered constellations complement each other. Focusing offers a space for inner resonance and embodied direction and constellations deepen your capacity for embodied empathy and open new possibilities for action. In the presence of horses, trees, and the river, deeper connections and perspectives come alive

Un participante comienza presentando un tema clave que desea abordar en la reunión, y el proceso de Focusing se desarrolla invitando a los demás participantes a "representar" aspectos de su proceso interno. La imagen visual resultante facilita enormemente la desidentificación, permitiendo un mayor desarrollo de la Presencia y posibilitando relación con cada aspecto. Al ofrecer conexión, estos aspectos pueden transformarse y un proceso estancado comienza a avanzar. Resulta sorprendente y enriquecedor cuando, además, los aspectos aportan nueva información desde su propias experiencias y sensaciones sentidas. El proceso concluye brindando claridad, confianza y calma a todos los participantes, quienes se encuentran en armonía y resonancia. Los demás participantes continuarán en un

Smartivew Conversations, Living a Focusing Way of Life Sandy Jahmi Burg, 2024
Smartview Conversations is a monthly online gathering to explore the application of our Focusing skills to daily life and interactions. Utilizing exercises from the Facilitator Guide for Smartview Stories, we will explore and build the resourcing qualities life is asking of us now.

Art Club is a space where we go inward to express outward – through drawing, movement, writing, painting, or whatever feels right for you in the moment. Each session involves slowing down and noticing what you have inside that’s worth exploring. It’s a time dedicated for self reflection and self care. Come prepared to pause, listen, and allow your inner wisdom to unfold.

Women's Soul Midwifery Focusing Training

Opening Retreat April 24th-27th 2026

This two-year training program for healers will create a sacred space where we open to our embodied, wildish nature as the ground for developing our capacity to midwife soul healing. Through focusing and the felt sense, together we will come into a deeper relationship with the wisdom of our bodies and the natural world, integrating focusing and the felt sense as we grow our medicine woman toolkits.

"Escuchar para Conectar" Jimena Camón
En un mundo donde la información abunda y el tiempo apremia, la conexión a menudo se desvanece. La prisa nos aleja de la posibilidad de una verdadera sintonía con nosotros mismos y con los demás. Aquí es donde una pausa y una escucha, basada en el Focusing, nos brinda el espacio que facilita el cambio, la integración y la apertura a nuevas maneras de relacionarnos.
En este espacio exploraremos cómo las habilidades de escucha del Focusing pueden transformar nuestra manera de relacionarnos con nosotros mismos y con los demás —incluso con niños y jóvenes—, creando un espacio seguro y de conexión donde cada persona se sienta vista, comprendida y respaldada. Facilitando que cada quien dé sus propios pasos en la vida, con confianza y seguridad, desplegando su singularidad.

We can experience the genius of dreaming directly and collaborate with it to carry our dreams forward. That is the guiding purpose of this new series of sessions with Dr. Leslie Ellis. It is for anyone who loves the confluence of dreams and Focusing.

This program is best experienced live, but recordings will be made available to all registrants, whether or not you attend live. The purpose is more about deepening our collective experience of dreaming than it is about learning theory or practice – although of course our dreamtime together will inform both.

Víctor Eloy GRACIAS
¿Te gustaría explorar alguna adicción con una práctica libre de intervención y diagnósticos? ¿Sientes inquietudes profundas sobre el por qué y el para qué de esa adicción que repites? ¿Ya lo investigaste pero los formatos te resultan demasiado dictados, rígidos y no te encajan? ¿Te parece que en otros tipos de trabajo se habla mucho pero se escucha y se siente poco? ¿Te inspiraría compartir en un espacio sereno, libre de juicios y desde el respeto mutuo?

Puede ser a un pack de creencias en bucle,
puede ser a un estado emocional recurrente,
puede ser a algunas relaciones, o a sustancias,
puede ser a unas circunstancias, o situaciones, etc

Gracias al FOCUSING PROFESIONAL
