Your Hosts
Where & When
Relate to yourself and others with freshness, emotional intelligence, and an open heart.
In this gentle, meditative process, both the Focuser and the Listener create a deeply welcoming space for whatever arises. Focusing invites you to connect with your felt sense — your inner sense of something. This opens the door to insights and understanding that go far beyond what emotion and intellect alone can offer.
What will you learn in this course?
Step by step, through simple felt-sensing and deep-listening exercises, you will strengthen the following skills:
- Listen without judgment, tuning deeply into your own or your partner’s experience
- Listen with your whole body, with every cell, in deep acceptance
- Remain in Self-in-Presence with whatever shows up
- Express your needs skillfully, respectfully, and honestly
- In this safe space, you can allow yourself to be seen while being authentically yourself
Learn to develop compassion and tap into your deepest knowing by cultivating, maintaining, or restoring a friendly, curious relationship with yourself and others.
