This is an online event, 5 weekly sessions on Zoom. This is 19.00 - 21.00 CET. We will be using Wholebody Experiential Focusing skills to deepen our inner relationship with our inner parts, and our outer relationship with our partners. There will be a final residential workshop in Assisi, Italy in June 2024. You can count this workshop as part of your training to be a Focusing Trainer with the TFI.
In many relationships there may be a lot of compatibility and attraction but there are certain topics that just become taboo. They are simply too difficult to talk about because of the accumulated emotions and memories. Couples become emotionally reactive and cannot discuss reasonably, because they are fixing blame and inwardly nurturing resentment.
And yet, it is precisely by

Traditional approaches to speaking anxiety have treated frightened and doubtful parts like enemies to be eradicated. True speaker confidence, however, does not come from denying who we are, but from including and allowing all parts of ourselves.

Through guided exercises, Fiona invites participants to get curious about what happens inside when asked to speak, and invites us to give compassionate company to what comes. She will help us sense our way into creating content.

This webinar offers the opportunity to work with speaking anxiety, not against it, in a way that ultimately leads to real change. Some familiarity with Focusing will be helpful, though all are welcome.

Ann Weiser Cornell
Want to watch as Ann Weiser Cornell guides someone through their very first Focusing session?

Focusing can be puzzling to talk about. It can be hard to learn from a book or a video. But when someone is actually taken through the process, you get it! Be present to observe as Ann guides three first-time Focusers (one each week) - and then comment afterward. The guest Focusers are volunteers who understand that their session will be witnessed by a safe and respectful group of people.

Ann Weiser Cornell
Are there things you need to do, or want to do, but you just don’t do them?

Whether you’re struggling to exercise, change your eating habits, can’t seem to make time for self-care, long to pursue a dream but can’t get any traction, or have another sort of stuck action, we’d love to show you how to work with what’s blocking you so you can move forward.

You’ll also discover how to break free from motivation styles based on being hard on yourself so you can move forward with kindness and self-compassion!

What happens when we let go of what ‘we know’ in favor of what’s present?

In the heart of each of our lives, presence echoes.

Inner Relationship Focusing isn't about amassing more knowledge for how to heal.

It's an embodied tool kit that allows us to set aside our certainties, and create space for the fresh insights that are already present in the mind & body.

Sometimes, the most profound healing moments arise not from our expertise,
but from our ability to listen deeply, embody compassion, and uncover inner wisdom.

Every one of us, including our clients, carries a universe within — realms of thoughts, feelings, and somatic experiences.

We can embrace both the cognitive

Esta serie brinda un espacio para conectar miembros hispanohablantes del Instituto Internacional de Focusing (TIFI). Es un espacio para aprender y expandir el conocimiento sobre Focusing y temas relacionados. El concepto de "Cafecitos" viene de la idea de estar en la casa de un amigo/a y conversar tomándose un café.

The messages that come through the body via dreams and focusing are often quiet, subterranean. Yet they are so important -- they point the way to leading an authentic life unique to our own way of being. In this 4-class live course you will learn the focusing steps that guide you to your inner sense of rightness.

Sandy Jahmi Burg 2019 Creating Space for Lasting Change, Part 4
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 eight times on Wednesdays, 7 – 9 pm New York time.
