Focusing for Spiritual Development

An experiential 9-month Focusing Partnership course

You will be learning how to work with your everyday struggles and longstanding patterns in a way that allows them to open into genuine spiritual growth. The nine months of the course allows the time and space for this process to root, grow, and become sustainable.

What do I mean by "Spiritual"?

By “spiritual,” I mean a way of relating to your experience that brings you into deeper contact with the aliveness of your own body, and with the life you are living right here, right now. From here, you begin to sense your connection to something larger: the Life that holds us all.

​What will I learn?

In this course, you will learn:

• Why the nature of the body makes it key to spiritual deepening and opening
• How to escape the craving for spiritual "highs" and actually develop a spirituality profoundly and satisfyingly connected to your everyday self 
• Build the foundational safety and inner stability needed for this work
• How to relate differently to reactive patterns as portals for deepening into life
• How to build the groundedness and solidity that allows you to stay present with difficult inner experience
• How to listen inwardly to that still small voice in a way that allows something that feels fresh, brand-new and alive to emerge

At its heart, this course is about learning to relate to yourself and to others in a way that allows fresh possibility, real change and – most of all – a deepened and direct connection to the Life that holds us all.

This course may be a good fit for you if:

• You’ve done personal or spiritual work, but some difficult part of your life just won’t shift
• You're done with chasing spiritual highs and are ready for a sustainable path of spiritual deepening and growth
• You suspect you may be "spiritually bypassing," but aren’t sure what else to do
• You feel disconnected from meaning or aliveness in your life

Your most difficult patterns are not just problems to solve. They are entry points into a deeper, more connected way of being. In this course, you will learn how to work with these patterns in a way that actually allows this to happen.
