Giselle Lamberth Learn Focusing
Some of us who hold trauma in our body may find that our body feels unavailable, silent, disconnected or even oversensitive when Focusing. That’s just our body and nervous system protecting us. With somatic healing practices you can support your Focusing and empower your body to speak and connect with you.

A four week course for Focusers new or experienced with informative sessions, discussions, somatic practices, felt sensing reflection and movement.

Víctor Eloy Niño solar
La narrativa condicionada del entorno social atemorizó a los padres y después, ellos, trasladaron sus miedos a sus hij@s. Así durante generaciones y generaciones por milenios. Cuando acompañamos esas voces asustadas, descubrimos la fuente de la auténtica seguridad y experimentamos la restauración de la verdadera confianza. Nos damos a luz a nosotr@s mism@s. Nos auto maternamos y auto paternamos.

Creating Space for Lasting Change Sandy Jahmi Burg 2026 Learn Focusing Community Logo
Our goal here is to return to the essence of Focusing and ourselves as living process. I ask that participants are Focusing weekly with a partner at least one month before class begins and throughout our time together. There is a lot of reading, often more than you might choose to do. We touch on a variety of approaches to learn and practice Focusing. We begin and end remembering that always that which has learned Focusing is Partiality, not Presence. My Part 4 is a great place to return to whenever you would like to go deeper with your process from wherever it is. Requires Part 3 or equivalent experience.
Meets 8 times on Monday evenings, 7-9pm ET.

Aging brings both challenges and opportunities, but it doesn’t have to feel like it’s all downhill from here. In fact, this chapter of life can be one of growth, connection, and newfound purpose.

You can develop a positive outlook on the future (and know how to be kinder to yourself when you can’t do that). Join us and get tools, wisdom, and support for every stage of the aging journey.

Children can only learn in a safe and accepting environment. During this professional day, we will explore how to create an atmosphere where children feel seen and heard, and where they are free to express their emotions. Through hands-on experiences, we will examine the many ways educators can support and nurture children’s inner experiences as they unfold.

The Children & Focusing Day is designed for Focusing-oriented professionals working with young children, or adults (parents, teachers, psychologists, caregivers, etc.) around children, and anyone interested in exploring the child within. The participants will have a chance to observe workshops in the classrooms and take part in discussions and presentations afterwards.

Jocelyn Jacks Kahn, CFT Beautiful Frenchtown, New Jersey
We have designed this in-person RWBF Retreat to be a rich and engaging experience for Focusers who are beginning, advanced, or who haven’t Focused for a while and would like to reconnect with the profound nourishment of this practice.

We will begin by settling deeply into the Wholebody. From there, we will experience what happens as we experiment with trusting its intelligence.

As we build our capacity to trust our Body Wisdom, we develop our capacity to relax into the larger Relational Field that holds Focuser, Listener and the whole of our life situation – allowing us to receive its precise and mysterious gifts. Please join us!

Víctor Eloy GRACIAS
¿Te gustaría explorar alguna adicción con una práctica libre de intervención y diagnósticos? ¿Sientes inquietudes profundas sobre el por qué y el para qué de esa adicción que repites? ¿Ya lo investigaste pero los formatos te resultan demasiado dictados, rígidos y no te encajan? ¿Te parece que en otros tipos de trabajo se habla mucho pero se escucha y se siente poco? ¿Te inspiraría compartir en un espacio sereno, libre de juicios y desde el respeto mutuo?

Puede ser a un pack de creencias en bucle,
puede ser a un estado emocional recurrente,
puede ser a algunas relaciones, o a sustancias,
puede ser a unas circunstancias, o situaciones, etc

Gracias al FOCUSING PROFESIONAL
podemos explorar el circuito de toda adicción
