Class will be recorded for all registrants and available for viewing for one month.
At the heart of Focusing there is a dance of two, seemingly opposing, inner movements which create a fertile climate inside you for Focusing.
In the Embrace (or Stepping Forward) you fully allow your inner experiences to be exactly as they are. In the Step Back you make room for an embodied sense of “Me” (Self in Presence) separate from your inner experiences.
The balance between both movements is an organic, fluid dance that prevents you from getting entangled with the places that need your Focusing attention. It also allows those places to safely open up within an awareness that can be kind and curious.
In this Highlight webinar, Wholebody Focusing Trainer and Coordinator Addie van der Kooy warmly invites you to explore with him these two movements: radically accepting your inner world and connecting back to the aliveness and vastness of “You” - which was once described by Eugene Gendlin as the “different self that can be discovered …under all the packages each of us carries”.
This class will be highly experiential with space for Q&A and sharing and it is intended for those who are familiar with Focusing, though all are welcome to attend.
Format
We use Zoom videoconferencing for our online classes. In this webinar format, you will see the presenter and host, but you will not be seen. You will be able to ask questions during the webinar by typing them. Highlights presenters may at times invite a small number of participants to unmute or join them onscreen during the webinar (optional).
You will need to have a computer/mobile device. Calling in by phone is also possible but not preferred. All registered participants will be sent a link to the video recording approximately two weeks following the class. So if you are unable to attend the live webinar, you will still be able to view it for one month.
