Relational Wholebody Focusing Weekend Retreat

Your physically felt body is in fact part of a gigantic system of here and other places, now and other times, you and other people - in fact, the whole universe. The sense of being bodily alive in a vast system is the body as felt from the inside. (from the book Focusing)

But most of us are born and raised with a very different sense of who we are. At times, we can feel like a fragile object in a sea of other objects, an inherently stressful view of ourselves.

As we face the difficulties of living and interacting in 2026, it can feel very natural to fall back into this default way of existing, locked in a holding pattern of isolation, tension, and lack of trust in ourselves and the world.

So there can be a sense of disconnect between Gendlin’s beautiful words and our felt reality of isolation and the resulting tension.

This 2-Day Retreat will help us reconnect with this “vast system as felt from inside” as our actual felt reality.

We ask you to bring a willingness to PAUSE as we bring our awareness to the vast system of support that is already here for us, right now. We will be using the practices of RWBF to build our capacity to trust our bodily felt knowing, to trust the Focusing process, and to trust ourselves.

We would love to have you join us!

Please Note: To maintain continuity, we are only accepting participants who can attend the full two days of the retreat.
