What if you were to find some simple doorways into what Gendlin calls the ‘implicit intricacy’… the ‘more’… so that you could say more of what you mean with greater clarity and creativity?
Gendlin developed ‘certain genuine steps’– in Focusing and in Thinking at the Edge (TAE) – and from these steps emerge simple practices you can use in your everyday life.
The approach here is to take some of the practices Gendlin developed for more formal practices such as theory or concept development and use them for specific interests. When you make these practices your own, they can support you in many ways.
In this webinar, we will do exercises together, and we will also dip into some pieces from writers, poets & artists to see how they work with the

Setting boundaries is complex and likely to bring up a lot of mixed feelings! In this free mini-course, we'll address three specific issues that can come up with boundaries, including:
- Learning how to tell if your needs are getting pushed aside (which often happens when you say yes but mean no)
- Discovering what a healthy boundary looks like and how simple they can be (something you probably didn’t learn growing up)
- Understanding what you’re saying yes to when you say no (and why this tip helps you communicate better with the people in your life)
- Plus, we'll talk about what might be going on inside when someone says no to you.
No matter how challenging healthy boundaries might feel today…

Esta es una invitación a encontrarnos, a hacer una pausa, a explorar eso "más" que nuestros sentimientos y emociones, a dar espacio, aceptación y escucha amigable a lo que sea que aparezca, a encontrar esa conexión interior, a crecer en amor y compasión hacia nosotros mismos, hacia otros y hacia nuestro ambiente... ir más allá de los pensamientos , sentimientos y emociones conocidas, los mandatos, creencias y condicionamientos...para poder contactarnos con lo más real y auténtico en nosotros y comenzar a dar nuevos pasos de cambio, contactarnos con todo nuestro potencial y creatividad y llevar nuestra vida adelante.
"Las personas encuentran riqueza en sí mismas y en los otros a medida que se abren en el Focusing y la escucha." Gendlin

We invite you to join us for an introduction to Focusing Oriented Expressive Arts (FOAT®), a Focusing approach that incorporates the expressive arts with Gendlin’s Focusing to enhance and deepen inner knowing.
In this webinar we will review the basics of Focusing and FOAT® and engage in a simple collage process to experience this powerful approach. You will be guided in a theme-directed FOAT® invitation, to delve into a part of your many-faceted self and illustrate your experience through the creation of a SoulCollage® card. The SoulCollage® process is highly conducive to awakening your intuition and empowering inner wisdom.
This webinar is hands-on, with ample time given to create your collage. No prior Focusing or arts experience is required.

A Process Model can turn into an experience. This amazing text allows to conceive creative exercises that make it come alive. Experientially you will understand more easily what the concepts convey. You will be able to think-with Eugene Gendlin.

Imagine being really present in the here-and-now…enjoying interpersonal moments with the freedom to be yourself, to feel good – to experience surprise and delight instead of repetitive, stressful patterns of interaction.
Social Oriented Focusing (SOF) teaches us to untie the KNOTS and NOTS that interfere with relating to others, enabling us to overcome blocks, fears, and automatic behaviors.
This two-part workshop will include presentations, guided experiences, and time for sharing and questions.

When you don't feel good about yourself, it can be like living under a dark cloud that casts a gloomy shadow on whatever you say, do, think, feel… And that makes life harder than it has to be.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. You can learn how to handle emotional triggers, difficult habits, and inner critics in a way that leaves you feeling better about yourself. Let me help you get started (and share what you can do to keep going!).
Questa conversazione online gratuita fa parte della serie Focusing Roundtable specialmente per i membri di TIFI.
Questa serie offre ai membri un'opportunità preziosa per instaurare una conversazione tra pari con altri membri che parlano italiano e che condividono interessi relazionati al Focusing. Ci auguriamo inoltre che questo programma incoraggi altri a promuovere ulteriori tavole rotonde in Italiano,nel futuro, per continuare la serie.
Using live experiential demonstrations viewed between classes, participants will safely awaken their implicit relational body wisdom. We explore and safely carry forward one's naturally occurring inner directed movements towards and away from intimate relating. We meet by-monthly and offer a 3-part professional development certification structure to carry forward learner needs and goals.
This course, which will take place over four Sunday mornings, will teach you some the elements of Focusing: sensing into your body, describing what you find there, and welcoming whatever comes. It will also introduce you to some of the skills you need for accompanying someone else while they are Focusing. No previous knowledge of Focusing is required, but if you would like to book a one-to-one session with me you are welcome to do so.
