Smartview Conversations is a monthly online gathering to explore the application of our Focusing skills to daily life and interactions. Our skill emphasis for 2025 is being our own Self-Mentor. We will explore and build the resourcing qualities life is asking of us now.
We will model how to create a safe, playful environment that facilitates neural plasticity. These webinars are FREE to attend. Both experienced Focusers and people new to Focusing are welcome. These webinars emphasize Gendlin's action step; how is it we bring Focusing concepts into our daily living.
We meet on the 5th Tuesday for April, twice in the same day for different time zones. The times are 11:30am - 12:30pm ET New York time and 7:30 - 8:30pm ET New York time.

Understanding who we are in an embodied way is a powerful way to grow our emotional regulation and emotional intelligence. When we know what it feels like in our bodies when we get scared, or mad, or are happy—or when more complicated patterns or parts emerge—then we can more quickly notice these shifts in our autonomic nervous system. This clarity helps us know when we need to self-soothe or reach out to others for co-regulation.
The class spends the first three weeks in the grounded parts, building a “safe nest” to do the deeper Focusing on our wounded and protector parts in weeks four to seven. As we map our parts, we also map out our timeline. At first with the key memories, and then with the parts that are connected to the memories. We finish the class by completing

Relationships are important — whether they're with friends, family, or one special partner. They nurture us — and we can nurture them.
Trusting yourself and what you know is key to healthy relationships. When you trust yourself, you can be open to others, speak your truth, and feel truly seen (exactly as you are). All that creates more space for joy and discovery in your connections.
Let’s explore how to build more self-trust (and richer relationships) together!

This two-year training program for healers will create a sacred space where we open to our embodied, wildish nature as the ground for developing our capacity to midwife soul healing. Through focusing and the felt sense, together we will come into a deeper relationship with the wisdom of our bodies and the natural world, integrating focusing and the felt sense as we grow our medicine woman toolkits.
You will learn divine feminine ways of knowing and being to develop:
• deep, embodied, soulful connections with other healing artists
• capacity to engage with focusing therapeutically for yourself, your clients and your community
• ability to become ensouled and bring more soul forward with your clients and communities using a focusing approach

PART 2 is about deepening into the Focusing and Listening process by looking more at the role of how we companion ourselves as well as others. We develop further our personal concept of creating an inner space that welcomes it all and adapting that space as we follow our process. I introduce relational neuroscience here.
Experience in a beginner partnership course is required. Discount for partnership courses or experience beyond that. A great place for advanced Focusers to return to.

This eight-week course is an opportunity to strengthen your listening skills and deepen your Focusing experiences. In improving your listening skills with empathy and compassion, you create an even stronger container for the felt sense and Focusing process, the motor of change.
You will also learn to better sense your own needs while Focusing, in listening to the nuances from your felt sense (self-empathy) and then meet those needs, either by giving that to yourself or asking your listener for what it needs (self-compassion).

Pacific Time
When we let ourselves play something out, we are inviting and allowing the energy of an inner being to awaken and to body forth, to live it out further and more fully than was possible in the situation. This active, dynamic process enables us to awaken and more fully live (play) something out from within its own spirit-energy without interference. As we connect with our whole body, as well as the larger body of our group, we activate a larger awareness and sensitive attuning to the movement of spirit through the living body, flowing within us, between us and around us. This transformational process enables us to participate in the healing of ourselves, the healing of each other and the healing of the world.

The way we work with our clients reflects the relational and embodied nature of our mind process.
In this course, you study how the bodily felt sense emerges in the context of interaction and explore the physicality of our relational patterns.
You do this experientially as you practice creatively using embodied experience to harness the transformative power of Integrative Focusing.

Social Oriented Focusing (SOF) invites us into an embodied practice to untie the KNOTS and NOTS that interfere with relating to others, enabling us to overcome blocks, fears, and automatic behaviors. Imagine being fully present in the here-and-now in a Focusing way, enjoying interpersonal moments with the freedom to be yourself, instead of repeating stressful patterns of separation.
In SOF Course Level 1, we will set out on an SOF journey of discovery from separation to connection. In a safe group setting, we will explore the steps from feeling alone to feeling together, while being our authentic selves.
SOF expands our Focusing awareness allowing us to meet others while remaining intimate with ourselves and our present moment experience, facilitating
