NOVEMBER 10 - 13, 2022

(carrying over to November 14 in Asia/Oceania)
 
Starting Thursday morning 7:00am NY time and ending 5:00 pm Sunday NY time.


This 4-day online Academy will allow you to both take a deep dive into TAE, and also to get a broad experience of outstanding teachers from all over the world.

The heart of the TAE Academy will be your “Main Class.” When you register, you will choose to work with one of the four Main Teachers (below). You will be with your teacher for all four days of the Academy, 3 hours each day.

This is an extraordinary opportunity – don’t miss it!

 


From the Board:
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

TO THOSE WHO SELF-IDENTIFY AS BEING FROM A GROUP WHICH IS UNDER-REPRESENTED IN THE FOCUSING COMMUNITY:

The Board has drafted a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) statement, which can be found HERE.

The statement is intended to communicate that we are aware that sometimes we are unaware. We know that we can be unaware of ways in which we exclude certain kinds of people. The evidence for this is a lack of certain groups of people within our ranks. We wish to make clear our desire to be welcoming and inclusive for the sake of equity in our community and our world.

If you identify as part of a group that ought to be more included in any aspect of the activities of The International Focusing Institute, we are especially interested to know whether this statement resonates for you.

From your perspective, does this statement leave you convinced that we are seeking to have an equitable relationship with you and people like you? Why or why not? Or, what other thoughts or feelings do you have about this statement? We welcome feedback by e-mail, and we are very much open to a Zoom meeting if that is deemed desirable.

Please note that for those members of The International Focusing Institute (TIFI) who are not part of any such under-represented group, you are also invited to give your feedback now, although we do intend to have another version to send out after receiving feedback from this request.


Thank you,

The Board of TIFI
