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.

Live 1-day workshop in Vienna, Austria:
When we’re stuck—unable to move forward in our lives—we are often caught in a “Tangle.” These recurring inner conflicts, paralysing patterns, or contradictory impulses aren’t just psychological phenomena; they are carried in our bodies as a frozen interruption of life. Untangling offers a different way to understand your stuckness—not as something permanently wrong with you or your life, but as a “stoppage” of life energy that can resume and flow again.

Do you want to find a way to accept your whole being
What about growing more genuine relationships in your life?
Maybe you would enjoy including your body as well as your emotions and thought processes in your decision making.
Are you looking for a way to deal with stress or inner conflicts?
Focusing helps with all of these and is a gift you can give to your whole being. You can start with effective little bits that build into a grounded ability to deal with what comes in your daily life.

Most of us don’t struggle to know what we feel— we struggle to voice it. And, for a good reason! In this course, you'll learn to express yourself more freely and confidently, without pushing yourself to do so.

Topics Covered. Working with creative expression and non-verbal communication. we will learn the basic listening skills of Children’s Focusing.
The central goal is to achieve authentic contact and open connection through simple, structured exercises designed to support the process of re-connection with yourself and to articulate ways to transfer this authenticity into your everyday life with children and your roles as a parent, grandparent, therapist, or teacher.

As these uncertain times continue to challenge us in unprecedented ways, our need for connection and emotional support is greater than ever.
This is a 30-minute free webinar (with Ann Weiser Cornell) with warm, positive tips for emotional self-care no matter what you're going through. Each month is different as Ann responds to the present moment and whatever the group is bringing.
Our hope is that you’ll leave the webinar with a greater sense of resilience and some relief from the stressful feelings you might be having. And that you’ll know you are not alone.

Gendlin valued Clearing a Space very highly. How about you? Is Clearing a Space (CAS) a standard part of your own Focusing practice, or your teaching of Focusing? Or have you replaced it with something else – maybe an attunement? Join us to share what place CAS has in your Focusing practice – is it essential, optional, irrelevant or something else?

A monthly online Focusing circle for people recovering from cultic or high-control dynamics.
Through a combination of psycho-education on cultic relationship dynamics and a guided Focusing practice, participants are invited to explore the inner impact of these experiences—gently untangling internalized voices, reconnecting with their felt sense, and discovering what is authentically their own.
Third Friday of each month, 10:00-11:30am Pacific Time.
To register, please book through Authentic Self Focusing, where you'll find options to join once or join monthly. CA$40/circle.
